The City of Manitou Springs is planning a creek walk along Fountain Creek, an aspirational goal for over 30 years. The question is how does one unite a diverse set of stakeholders with competing interests to agree on a preferred route that incorporates their values and priorities? Use geodesign. Geodesign is a powerful participatory planning method that uses stakeholder input and geospatial analytics to show the possible impact of design scenarios. It gets its strength in two ways: 1) from the diversity of participants—proving the adage that two heads are indeed better than one—and 2) from the power of spatial analytics, which allows the visualization of the world both as it is and as it could be. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on Social Media!
