Figure 1: A diagram representing the Community Improvement patrols and cleansing, along with a dedicated programme District framework for intervention of working with, and rehabilitating, street people. With this programme now well established, the GSCID is exploring how it can work in partnership with others to further improve the quality of the area for its residents, users and businesses. This is visually represented in the adjacent diagram where the aim is to undertake actions that result in attaining the elements of urban life further up the triangle. This is to guide how to improve the urban experience. The framework is loosely guided by the Main Street approach, which works around four pillars: Design: Enhancing the physical appearance of the area by, for example, rehabilitating historic buildings, encouraging supportive new construction, developing sensitive design management systems, and long-term planning. There is a strong link between physical and environmental quality and economic benefits. Organisation: Building consensus and cooperation among the many groups and individuals who have a role in the revitalisation process. This aspect forms the foundation for the continuing success of any programme. This has proved true in creating successful improvement districts. To work together, relationships have to be developed and that means cultivating an ethic of cooperation. 7 GSCID Strategic Development Framework GSCID PLANNING PRINCIPLES Principle 1 Principle 2 Principle
