At the annual conference of the Florida Chapter of the American Planning Association<\/a> in Sandestin, Florida, a team of URP faculty, students, and community partners received the Award of Excellence in Neighborhood Planning for the project, “Neighborhoods As Community Assets.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighborhoods As Community Assets was one of seven projects jointly funded by the inaugural UF-Gainesville Research Partnership. This project came about when UF Senior Vice President and COO Charlie Lane, as part of the University\u2019s Strategic Development Plan, announced a call for proposals to use the greater Gainesville city as a living laboratory to address real world community problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
