VISION GIVES SHAPE TO THE FUTURE—IMAGINING A BETTER ‘YET TO BE’ ENABLES THE CREATION OF ‘WHAT’S TO COME ’. A future also requires foundations: hard work, pragmatism, and the recognition that existing conditions, though challenging, are the building blocks for future hopes and dreams. In this section, we highlight our West End visioning process and its foundations. Focused on the future and grounded in the now, it is a process that’s systematic (mindful), systemic (integrative) and catalytic (actionable). By explaining this process— from early research through scenario building to final assessment—we hope to make our work understandable and repeatable. And as you’ll see, we’re charting a course and powering a change engine for the West End as the district works to envision and then create what comes next.
