PlaceMatters will be working with Wallace, Roberts, and Todd to update Albany's Comprehensive Plan.  We will be providing the public engagement and decision-support for a comprehensive plan that will reflect the vision of the entire community. This process will help Albany discover citizens' aspirations for the future, define the City's character, and determine what steps are needed to achieve future goals.

PlaceMatters will provide overall public engagement process design, visualization, scenario analysis, and an interactive website.

In light of recent events such as Hurricane Katrina and the looming threat of global climate change, PlaceMatters and David and Lucile Packard Foundation have identified a critical need for ways to effectively integrate ecosystem science and community planning in ways the public and decision-makers can readily understand and act on.
