Progressively informed citizens know about the development agencies shaping their cities…do you know yours?
Here are some of the development agencies overseeing diverse redevelopment efforts that have sparked my interests:
- Los Angeles, CRA/LA: www.crala.org
- New York, EDC: www.nycedc.com
- London, London Development Agency: www.lda.gov.uk
- San Diego, Redevelopment Agency: www.sandiego.gov/redevelopment-agency
- Mexico City, SEDUVI: www.seduvi.df.gob.mx/seduvi
These agencies tend to hold public meetings to discuss upcoming projects among “decision makers” and hear-out community residents. Unfortunately not all of the agencies do a great job of announcing public hearings. Check their websites regularly, most rely heavily on using their webpage as the their best PR tool and scapegoat for transparency.
