Abstract
The buzz surrounding the 2010 redevelopment master plan for the Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) riverfront property along the Willamette River has inspired modest praise locally. Inspiring architectural renderings, extensive community outreach and sustained city support create a preconception of a successful project. This study presents a critical look at the planning process using information from the documents that influenced and directed the planning process, as well as perceptions from the professionals and leaders who assembled the final plan document. By analyzing the objective account of what happened during the planning process with the human account, this project provides insight for how the planning process presented in the EWEB Riverfront Master Plan could be modified to avoid shortcomings, or to enjoy similar successes. This insight would be useful for city officials, and professionals from fields like architecture, landscape architecture, and planning who might be interested in replicating the planning process from the EWEB master plan project.
