MICHIGAN POLICIES

(Relations/Processes and Space/Time)

CEDP

INTELLIGENT DEVELOPMENT

• Draws on contemporary research and theory

• Aware of best planning practice• Investments in places and

regions for wealth creation, higher wage employment, improved quality of life & balanced just development

CEDP

INTELLIGENT DEVELOPMENT

• Development planning, therefore, is “intelligent” when these best practices are influenced by appropriate theory, benchmarked and the latest science and technologies are utilized fully to develop a community and region holistically, equitably, and multifunctionally, including amenity factors. Goes beyond “digital development.”

CEDP

Talk!

CEDP

GOVERNANCE IMPLICATIONS

• Scenarios for intelligent development• State/regions as passive or proactive?• Focus not only on success at advanced

end of spectrum, but there is the need for benefits also to serve distressed areas of the region and its localities.

• Regional planners can engage in intelligent development to plan for more competitive sub-state planning regions in the global knowledge economy
