Abstract
GIS in Urban Planning: Greenville's Reedy River Master Plan Project
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Jeff Parkey, Lucy Noth
A team of planners and designers from Clemson University developed a conceptual Riverfront Master Plan for the City and County of Greenville, South Carolina. The project's goals were multidimensional--improved environmental health, better public access, extensive trail network development, targeted economic development and increased recreational opportunities within a 16-mile study area. Two equally important necessities of the planning process--a comprehensive information database and a progressive design software--were met by using ArcView 3.2 and ArcInfo 8.0.2. By using their Esri software program, the team was able to perform spatial analysis and create presentation grade maps for public meetings within the same program.
