The document discusses empowering citizens and moving away from overly planned approaches that under deliver. It promotes bottom-up, action-oriented micro planning that empowers local residents to improve their communities at the block and neighborhood level. This approach is focused on inclusion, seeks out developers, and invests returns into the community. The document also outlines potential projects from a Manatee Creek neighborhood plan that includes sidewalk connections, gateway signage, park improvements, and safety upgrades.
