St. Louis Park, Minnesota, a post–World War II suburb to the west of Minneapolis, sponsored a visioning exercise in 1994 that produced a consensus vision of “a community so special that people will consciously choose to make St. Louis Park their lifelong home.” The city revised its comprehensive plan to incorporate long-range policies that support land use changes allowing more mixed use and public works investments facilitating walking. Zoning and development standards were amended to allow higher densities and mixed uses.
