Jake M. Godbold, Mayor Richard Bowers, Executive Director Co-sponsored by Jacksonville Chapter, American Institute of Architects IV INTRODUCTION In October, 1984 the Jacksonville Department of Housing and Urban Development contacted the American Institute of Architects regarding the possibility of conducting a study of the Springfield area of Jacksonville. I t was decided that a Regional/Urban Design Assistance program might be appropriate and AIA suggested that an application documenting the project be drawn up for consideration for a full- fledged R/UDAT study. HUD assembled a group of residents, architects and planners, and enlisted the support of the Jacksonville AIA to develop the program, sponsor the application and serve as the steering committee for the project, should it materialize. The proposal was accepted in April, 1985, a commitment was made to assemble a team, and the study was set for Sept. 26 - 30, 1985, and a team of architects, planners, development specialists, urban designers, landscape architects and sociologists was selected and charged to study the area, consult with neighborhood and area interests and make recommendations to revitalize and recapture the charm of this inner city residential enclave. The team meets with community groups and gets acquainted with local conditions at first hand by means of site visits anad tours. After public hearings are held the team members closet themselves for WHAT IS A R/UDAT? intensive sessions; they call on local resource people as needed, in A RegionaI/Urban Design Assistance order to define problems, establish Team CR/UDAT) is a service of the strategies and develop and Urban Planning and Design Committee synthesize courses of action. of the National American Institute Then, the team's recommendations of Architects. The purpose of the are presented to the community at a program is to assist American public meeting. cities and towns to answer questions about urban planning and design, in order to help civic, social, and business leaders effectively plan short and long term goals for their communities. The members of the RegionaI/Urban Design Assistance Team are experts in architecture and urban design, economics and finance, political and social sciences, growth management, and public policy. Team members are unpaid volunteers, recruited from all over the nation. For a decade the AIA has been sending these assistance teams to Ame.rican communities. Cities with a combined population of more than 10 million citizens have been served and professional services valued in excess of $2 million have been donated. The team chairman visits the community well in advance of the R/UDAT to meet with its citizens, leaders, planning officials, and the AIA chapter. A packet of maps, statistics,and information is. prepared, together with a statement of the problems to be confronted, and is sent to each team member to study. The team's visit is four days and is coordinated by the local AIA chapter. The team is assisted by professionals and students from the region. 2 inordinate number of congregate and living arrangements, a negative perception of the EXECUTIVE SUMMARY community by other citizen) in Jacksonvilleor a common perception of the neighborhood as the Jacksonville Bowey, a housing stock This report creates a challenging which very seldom meets minimum vision for the future of Springfield standards, insufficient public and a provocative agenda for resources, unavailable private accomplishing the reccommenda t i on s financing, absentee landlords, contained herein.
