Neighborhood
Planning always involves collecting background information. This
section covers a range of planning tools used to describe neighborhood
conditions and inform planning. The tools include some standard
approaches like using Census data and surveys. Other less frequently
used techniques are oral histories, population forecasts, and employment
projections. Background information should be collected in the service
of neighborhood strategic planning.
