Episode 8: Creative Development Partners (Part I): Facilitating Community Agreements
In this Part One of a two-part interview, meet Randolph Belle of Creative Development Partners - an organization hired by the City of Berkeley to facilitate communication between the city, a soon-to-be-chosen developer, local community organizations, and Bay Area Rapid Transit (known locally as BART). Who are Creative Development Partners? What is their role in Equitable Black Berkeley? What are some examples of different ways communities have attempted to have a say in development? How might some of them compare to Equitable Black Berkeley?
