Neighborhood Assessment Project on Broward County Florida

Description Report Instructions First: Identify the neighborhood or community for your project. It is preferred that you select the place you are currently living and not an entire city. A neighborhood can vary in sizes, and for this project, a good rule of thumb to choose an area that extends for one or two miles. By selecting a small space, the project becomes more manageable for this assignment. Second: Choose the planning field that you think it’s the most interesting to you, from the list below (you may request a planning field if not listed); Transportation Planning Neighborhood Planning Community Health Environmental Planning Urban Design Economic Development Growth Management Land Use Planning Third: Identify one issue in your neighborhood under the chosen planning field. For example, if you want community health as the planning field, you may identify childhood obesity as the issue to be addressed.
