Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. A bit of background:In 2008, Chicago was selected by ULI National as one of four District Councils to adopt a 3-year Infrastructure Initiative. ULI Trustee James Curtis endowed the Curtis Infrastructure Initiative and charged local District Councils to implement a program to integrate and/or improve local decision making surrounding land use and infrastructure.ULI Chicago created a committee and integrated the infrastructure initiative into our program of work. 48 very committed members!
  2. The first step in creating the model to prioritize investment and tie land use to infrastructure investment was to convene the committee in a 2-day summit to coalesce around a set of criteria to evaluate infrastructure projects. Economic competitiveness: the extent to which the proposed project enhances the economic competitiveness of the entire Greater Chicago region (the tri-state metropolitan area) through increasing the efficiency, productivity, or attractiveness of the entire region. Examples include significantly reducing freight or passenger travel times, expanding freight capacity, removing significant infrastructure barriers to regional development, or developing significant amenities that boost the attractiveness of the region. Projects considered significant for economic competiveness have to potential to attract capital investment and jobs to, or to stem the loss from, the Greater Chicago region.  Opportunity: the extent to which the project provides economic or quality of life opportunities for the communities or neighborhoods most directly affected by the project or for other underserved populations. Opportunity includes improved access to jobs and education.  Environmental Sustainability: the extent to which the proposed project improves the quality of the environment, including but not limited to, improving environmental quality by reducing carbon emissions, protecting identified natural areas, promoting the more efficient use of water resources, and reducing water or air pollution, etc.  Support: the extent to which the project has support from elected officials, key agencies, major stakeholders and perhaps even the general public. Examples of evidence of support may be found in formal resolutions; capital improvement programs; public statements; endorsements of applications for federal, state, or other outside funding; joint agreements or collaborative efforts to address land use associated with the project; and referendums for tax increases or bond issues. Examples of evidence that may indicate a lack of support include public statements in opposition or calling for further study and lawsuits challenging the project.  Funding and Financial Feasibility: the extent to which funding sources have been identified to cover project costs and the potential for the project to attract private sector investment in the form of public/private partnerships.
  3. The first thing the committee determined is that, in order to improve local infrastructure decision making, we need to model an approach to decision making that prioritizes smart investment infrastructure and supports sustainable growth and development.… Then we can test the model in spatial areas around the region.… Then we can share our findings with the decision makers.
