GOALS FOR VISION LOUISVILLE

The Vision Louisville Plan should set goals and aspirations for how to …

Work towards a common goal

Communicate Louisville’s unique assets

Create synergies between public & public initiatives

Organize government, investors, partners, citizens in common goals to prioritize and achieve results.

Create a mutual image of where we are going.

Preserve andextend Louisville’sdistinct heritage.Distinguish

Louisville locallyand regionally.

Create synergy on all levels:— access— transportation— education— cultural sectors— jobs— community dialogue

Provide a vehicle for and leverage existing initiatives such as the Greater Louisville Project.

An increased concentration of capital markets focuses energy and creates competition. A changing economy makes it diffi cult to assess value and risk.

Fresh water sources are increasingly vulnerable and dwindling. Pollution run-off spreads unpredictably and beyond political borders.

Rising temperatures, severe weather, and rising seas will put increasing strains on infrastructure.

The need to reduce emissions creates a new market. Peak Oil changes transportation. Relying on imported energy is not an option.

Deferred maintenance can lead to catastrophic failures. Communication networks create new opportunities and operational challenges. Urban sprawl creates unsustainable patterns.

The population is growing, aging, diversifying, and increasingly transient and urban. Household sizes are shrinking.

As a world leader in aging care, Louisville is uniquely poised at the center of a global demographic shift over the next twenty years.

Louisville has the largest concentration of aging-care businesses in the world.

Health

AGING CARE

At home, however, it needs to support its own citizens in ways that go beyond health to the social and economic links tied to improved life expectancy.

Health

Can Louisville become the healthy escape?

— Clean environment— Healthy eating— Active living

Health

How might the major institutions and private enterprise in Louisville support healthy living from the ground up?

Externally, Louisville has a rich and vivid historical heritage to draw upon.

“Kentucky produces 95% of the world’s bourbon.”

“Louisville has been voted by Zagat as one of 8 foodie cities in the world.”

“28,000 people give from their weekly paycheck, that speaks to our culture.”

“This is a city of joiners, give them something to do and they’ll do it.”

“We have a sense of Louisville pride not seen in sister cities, such as Cincinnati or Indianapolis.”

“People like living here because you can come and make a difference quickly.”

Identity

At a local level, neighbor-hoods and a pride of place bind residents together.

“We want to package ourselves in an authentic way to draw people, from business, food, art, music, innovation, to interfaith dialogue.”

“21C has been successful in reframing contemporary art for a popular context.”

Identity

New traditions are being born that can evolve Louisville’s heritage to the present.

“Forecastle brings together a culture we’re moving towards on the river.”

“We are barely tapped compared to Napa Valley. The tourist experience could grow significantly here.”

But ...

“There’s a story to be told, we’re only in the first chapter.”

“I wish Louisville would just choose one thing and work on it, make it happen.”

“Louisville lacks an organizing principle. We need an identity driving us forward, that we can measure.”

Identity

Without one focal point, Louisville has not been able to strongly assert its identity and provide a larger narrative.

“What is the brand of Louisville? Most people are pleased when visiting because they have no or low expectations.”

“There are all these pieces that are not connected to one another in terms of a larger brand.”

Possibility City plays into the trap of regional cities aspiring to be “big city” without telling a specifi c story.

Challenges

— Competitive distinctiveness and visibility with similar American cities

— Ability to compete in the knowledge economy
