INITIATING COLLABORATION IN HAMILTON COUNTY THROUGH SUB-REGIONAL PLANNING: EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COMMUNITY CLUSTER PROJECT

WELLS, JODY M.

Abstract Details

2007, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Community Planning.
Due to the fragmented structure of Hamilton County, attempts at county-wide efforts have not been viable, despite professional studies that have recommended regionalism for the county. The Community Building Institute has launched the Community Cluster Project (CCP), an initiative that divided the county into eleven meaningful clusters of communities that have shared assets, issues, and interests. The goal is to create collaborative planning among jurisdictions on the cluster and eventually, the county-wide level. This study concluded that the CCP is an effective means to initiating cluster-wide collaboration. The project is successful in persuading jurisdictions that they are an interdependent part of the cluster. Stakeholders felt they would benefit from the collaboration and that it would be more beneficial than individual or larger scale efforts. Most identified with the assets and issues of the cluster, though some were challenged to understand how any one would be common to the entire cluster.
