Lessons in Cooperative Planning: Working with Communities

Presenter(s): David Dixon, Goody, Clancy & Associates Inc; Elizabeth Shepherd-Rabadam, Harvard University; David Spillane, Goody, Clancy, & Associates
Convener: Carl H. Monzel, BHDP Architecture


A surrounding community¹s response to an institution¹s decision to grow physically can make the difference between a successful project and one that is fraught with obstacles. Using examples from their own experiences in North Allston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, development directors from Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will discuss how careful community planning helped these institutions broaden their campuses and as well as their community support.


This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-seventh annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–37, in San Diego, CA (USA), in July of 2002.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–37 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP–37, our digital archives of SCUP–37 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
