Our Urban Reality• By 2030, 6 in 10 people will live in cities.• There are currently one billion people living in slums and
squatter settlements and that number is expected to double by 2030 and reach 3 billion by 2050 – UNHABITAT

Housing Crisis
• Based on current trends in urban migration and income growth, we estimate that by 2025, about 440 million urban households around the world—at least 1.6 billion people—would occupy crowded, inadequate, and unsafe housing or will be financially stretched. – McKinsey Global
• To replace today’s substandard housing and build additional units needed by 2025 would require an investment of $9 trillion to $11 trillion for construction; with land, the total cost could be $16 trillion.– McKinsey Global

Climate Change – It’s Science
• 2 degrees Celsius is a given. How much more is unknown.
• "Present temperature targets may commit Earth to at least six meters sea level rise“-scientists
• According to the International Energy Agency, the world needs $1 trillion a year between 2012 and 2050 to finance a low-emissions transition.

• To adapt to a world 2 degrees Celsius warmer, developing countries will require an estimated $75–100 billion per year over the next 40 years to build resilience to these changes, and mitigation costs are expected to be in the range of $140–175 billion per year by 2030. – World Bank

Rising Inequality
• Since 1990, inequality among households has grown significantly in the United States.
• The average white household has five times the wealth of the average Hispanic household and six times that of the average African-American household.
• Across neighborhoods, the story is stark

“Neighborhood inequality is growing” –The Urban Institute

In Manhattan, the top-fifth earned nearly $400,000,
versus less than $10,000 for those in the bottom fifth —
meaning the wealthiest residents now make more than 40 times as much as
those on the bottom rung.OUCH!

• Just 13% of Americans say the government can be trusted to do what is right always or most of the time. (10% say NEVER)
• Only 17% of Americans believe that big business can be trusted to do what is right always or most of the time
Our trust is…disappearing

Trust in the Workplace
• Nearly 100 percent (99.1) prefer a workplace in which people identify and discuss issues truthfully and effectively, yet less than half said their organization’s tendency is to do so. (2011 Fierce, Inc customer survey of more than 1,400 corporate executives, employees, and educators )

“Thanks in part to your superb efforts, we have concrete proof that group facilitation and group process methodologies yield significant, measurable results”
“inspiring”…”exceptional”
“A replicable set of values and a process that can be broadly applied to urban design and sustainable communities; and the development of a participatory culture and applied values that explicitly recognize the central place of the public in the design of the built environment.”

Endorsed by even the toughest critics
“They had ideas that we will incorporate on the waterfront and the park. We give them credit for working hard and diligently on the site. We’re going to look at it strongly and we think the job will be a tremendous success.” –Donald Trump, 1990s, following a NYC UDAT project

The Snowball Effect
“a figurative term for a process that starts from an initial state of small significance and builds upon itself, becoming larger and faster at every stage”
Applied to a community, this is a transformational principle…

Portland, OR - 1983
“Ever squinted your eyes and tried to imagine something that’s only in your head? That’s how it was for those of us who looked over the rail yards and abandoned warehouses of inner northwest Portland some 20 years ago. Rundown and dilapidated, it was a sight that even the best of us squinters had trouble overcoming.” – History of the Pearl District
![Page 141: The Designer Democracy Challenge](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110314/55ca22fcbb61ebaa3d8b4801/html5/thumbnails/141.jpg)
Portland Impact
“Much of the re-development of the Pearl District was the result of collaboration between the city and private sectors. In the early 1980s, the Pearl District became the focus of planning efforts by the Portland Development Commission. Work that ensued included an urban design study, followed by the 1988 Central City Plan, the 1992 River District Vision Plan and 1994 River District Development Plan.”
![Page 142: The Designer Democracy Challenge](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110314/55ca22fcbb61ebaa3d8b4801/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
Today: The Pearl District
“And yet, slowly, a largely forgotten part of Portland’s past became an urban icon of living unlike anything the country had ever seen: A unique blend of verve and vibrancy, with more than a passing nod to Portland’s uncommon brand of originality…. Today, the Pearl District has earned a worldwide reputation for urban renaissance. Diverse, architecturally significant, residential communities thrive here. Galleries rub shoulders with restaurants, shops open to parks, and no one has to squint anymore to see the magic that’s taken hold.”

Austin, TX
“When looking back on how far downtown Austin has come in the last 20 years, many newcomers to Austin would be surprised by the state of downtown in 1993. Few people resided in downtown and retail in the urban core was nearly non-existent. Needless to say, Austin was faced with a fairly dormant downtown…. From the [R/UDAT] plan came a number of recommendations that began the wheels of transformation to create the vibrant downtown we all know today.” – Charles Betts, Downtown Austin Magazine
