Abstract

By analyzing the practice of citizen participation in visioning the future of the City of Albany, the capital of the U.S. state of New York, this study offers important social and public values of community visioning. Albany 2030 is a comprehensive master plan as well as the process of collaborative visioning in creating the plan. The Albany 2030 process brought previously underrepresented groups into participatory, collaborative visioning. A shared vision was formulated from citizens’ views. New, effective techniques engaged various participants in the process. While the city and participants boast of the overall success of the community visioning, the practice leaves room to further improve public deliberation for community visioning.
