- Abstract:
- This Co-Learning Plan examines the implementation of Michigan’s municipal master plans and capital improvement plans (CIP) in the context of the challenges with public infrastructure systems and the opportunities for a future blue and green economy. Statewide information is assessed and municipal profiles are developed and compared to represent a range of population size, economic characteristics, and geographic location. This study’s communities include Ann Arbor, Benton Harbor, Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, Holland, Marquette, Novi, Oakland County, Pittsfield Township, and Traverse City. Legislative, policy, and strategic management reforms are recommended to overcome impediments and to optimize public infrastructure systems in enhancing economic growth, protecting health, and increasing sustainability.
