Abstract:
This article explores the relevance of the planning profession and the value of comprehensive plans as an effective planning tool, through a single case study: Raleigh’s recently adopted 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The plan is simultaneously a blueprint for the future and a forum for an ongoing discussion about the future of Raleigh. The plan achieved these outcomes by virtue of the process that created it, the framework under which it is implemented, and the standing commitment to keep the plan current and accountable over time. Raleigh’s success story with the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan highlights the role of comprehensive plans in guiding communities towards long-term success.

Abstract:
Raleigh's deteriorating 1960s-era North Hills, the Raleigh Research Triangle's first enclosed mall, and the adjacent North Hills Plaza have been transformed into the Triangle's quintessential mixed-use district. The new North Hills creatively combines many of the necessary and pleasurable elements of daily life - shopping, working, living, dining, and enjoying entertainment - into a carefully designed setting that compares to the style and livability of mid-town Atlanta.
