business plan, and the needed infrastructure investments that will support the development.\u00a0\u00a0Cities must create predictability for those who chose to invest in their communities.\u00a0\u00a0Additionally, cities can assemble properties for public amenities, often times leaving behind remnant pieces or surplus land that can then be developed by the private sector as part of a larger development.\u00a0\u00a0The private sector must provide the expertise and capital necessary to create the vertical development that animates the downtown or the neighborhood.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Developers must embrace the community\u2019s vision if supported by the market.\u00a0\u00a0Development must be based upon what people love about their community.\u00a0\u00a0It doesn\u2019t mean avoiding changes, rather anchoring changes in the essential character of the community, which will be supported longer and with greater emphasis.\u00a0\u00a0There is so much more than can be said or promoted about the development tools that are available to public and private entities than can be raised in this limited space.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">From the perspective of a city manager and someone who is passionate about creating unique sustainable places, so much of what local governments care about, what they are responsible for, what business and residents want or need, are the result of how we develop and occupy real
