Downtown Orlando is experiencing tremendous change and much of that change is occurring in Parramore, an historic African-American community located just west of Orlando’s Central Business District. Intended to balance the preservation of cultural heritage with the need for economic development, the Parramore Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan uses Healthy Community Design principles to revitalize the community and address critical issues such as chronic diseases, homelessness, crime, low educational achievement, and residential displacement.
The webinar will demonstrate the integration of healthy community design, placemaking, mobility, and the economic and housing analyses needed to transform a redevelopment plan to reality. The presenters will provide best practices and list the implementation actions that have occured since the adoption of the plan.
Identify healthy community design best practices.
Build consensus within disenfranchised communities to inform best design practice.
Balance economic development and historic and cultural preservation within the design.
Understand the importance of building partnerships for healthy community design.

Many attendees of the Center for Health Design’s Webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting an attendance verification certificate. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org.
