Abstract

This case study examines an eight-year transdisciplinary action research initiative involving an academic planning and design research center and a state agency working in collaboration with other state agencies, nonprofit organizations, and communities. The primary goal of this collaboration was to help communities across New York State change the way they engage in community planning so as to improve the likelihood that investments of people, time, and financial resources result in revitalization. Through a series of linked projects, the questions addressed by the cases shifted in scale from individual community-based projects, to a series of demonstration projects in multiple communities, to a statewide community education program. Outcomes included policy and program changes at the state level as well as positive change and action for individual communities. The collaborative process presented challenges as it grew in scale and complexity. A discussion of the lessons learned reflects on the importance of acknowledging the effect of changes occurring over long-term collaboration, establishing a collaborative framework, and recognizing differences in mission and culture.
