PLAN 684 Planning Capstone Proposal
In Planning Capstone Proposal, students will define and hone their goals for the capstone project, develop methods and techniques for gathering and analyzing information, and create a unique planning product. The proposal must define the final deliverables of the overall capstone project, which may be a document (a plan, a research paper, report or policy), an event (a public meeting, a conference, or a door knocking campaign), or some combination of these deliverables. Capstone projects proposals are developed in collaboration with Planning Capstone Proposal faculty.
The capstone project, which concludes with PLAN 685, is a culmination experience for students in the master's program. It is a yearlong course sequence in which students design and execute a unique planning project. Examples of projects include but are not limited to an impact analysis of a specific planning project; a public participation plan; a proposal for a land trust, or land bank, or embedded neighborhood planning department; a public arts and murals plan; an improved planning analysis in a transportation planning firm; or a physical plan for the redevelopment of a neighborhood or downtown.
Prerequisite: PLAN 613 with a minimum grade of C or better.
