Abstract
This research explores the Consensus Building Model as a community organizing method for composing an urban comprehensive plan. It is a widely used conflict-resolution tool in both the public and private sectors. Due to its frequent use in the urban realm, this model is often used in urban planning, as policy makers and planners work within the same groups and within inextricably linked situations. For the past Century, the Over-the-Rhine (OTR) district north of downtown Cincinnati has suffered from issues of blight, crime, and physical deterioration of property. Within the past 15 years, however, the OTR community has received much positive attention in the form of economic development and/or publicity in sub-districts such as Washington Park. With plans underway for physical developments that are located within, or immediately surrounding it, many social service and community organizations involved in the plans are actors, observers, critics, and various combinations thereof. The question remains how effective all are in shaping development in an equitable and cohesive way. This thesis investigates the OTR 2002 Comprehensive Plan and the Consensus Building method its authors claimed to use. It explores projected impacts of the physical developments on the community immediately surrounding Washington Park and those involved in determining them. It identifies the community development individuals that decided the objectives, along with individuals working to implement the plan at present. Ultimately, this research shows if the plan was consensus-based and how the Washington Park community perceives this notion today, covering the changing community dynamics resulting from goals and objectives set forth in 2002.
