Description:
In 2001, the US-German Bilateral Working Group (BWG) identified more than 40 obstacles to site revitalization which occurred in both countries. From 2001-2005, the BWG developed tools and techniques for overcoming these obstacles. Five joint workshops were held on the following revitalization topics: economic tools, environmental risk assessment and communication tools, project management and marketing tools, social aspects of revitalization, and sustainable reuse. Information from these workshops, in addition to information collected from "model" projects, was used to develop SMARTe (U.S.) and the START-UP Plan (Germany). Sustainable Management Approaches and Revitalization Tools - electronic (SMARTe) is a web-based, decision support tool that helps communities and other revitalization stakeholders select revitalization options. The START-UP Plan was developed to assist redevelopment stakeholders in preparing a target-group specific, integrated project and business plan. Currently these products are being applied at different sites/areas within the U.S. and Germany, respectively, in order to test their usefulness and usability.
