Framework Plan
“Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized.”
– Daniel H. Burnham, Architect (1846-1912)
The Framework Plan comes not from city-directed instructions to UACDC but rather from opportunities the UACDC recognize during time spent in Cherokee Village listening, studying and seeing the community first-hand.
First and foremost, it is important to approach the concepts, images and architectural renderings in the Framework Plan as both aspirational and inspirational. The ideas put forth by the Framework Plan are just that – ideas. The images, drawings, and ideas put forth in the Plan do NOT represent any existing plans or commitments by the City, the SID, the Community Developer or others to fund or build these projects.
The Framework Plan is meant to inspire conversation and visioning for what could be possible.
Three principles guide the Framework Plan’s recommendations in aligning the Village’s underutilized infrastructure with multiple market demands for different living environments.
The Three Framework Plan’s Principles are:
Be Aaptable to Changing Futures
Diversify Lifestyle and Hospitality Environments
Be Resilient to Market Uncertainty
In the Framework Plan you can read more about the plan’s approach, goals and principles.
You can also see the six “opportunity zones” where UACDC recognizes potential for strategic growth.
Restoring the East Village Town Center: The Bowl & the Isthmus
A New West Village Town Center on the Lake
South Gateway Highway 412: Village on the Highway
Lake Omaha Housing Hill Neighborhood
Placemaking Scenarios in the Polycentric Web: New Street Typologies, New Neighborhoods
