CITYGreen Documentation

Assess the environmental costs of re-development in East St. Louis

  1. You have completed an inventory of existing site conditions in your neighborhood in Emerson Park.
  2. Before moving to the analysis phase, construct an inventory of the conditions you propose as part of your plan for your study area - in effect creating a before and after pair.
  3. Examine the reporting options available under CITYGreen (Chapter 7 in Documentation).
  4. Conduct analyses for both the before and after scenarios (Chapter 5).
  5. Use the modeling scenario approach (Chapter 6) to project the green component of your existing and proposed schemes 30 years into the future.
  6. Complete the reporting processes in Chapter 7.

  7. My suggestion is that you create maps in the Presentation (7.2) or Inventory (7.4) formats and Export (File>Export>jpeg) those from ArcView in JPEG format (give the files *.jpg extensions).  Use the Summary Report directions (7.3) to create a text file of your report findings that you can then import into Composer.  This will give you better control over the text readability than if you Export the Data Sheet format (7.1) intact.
  8. Incorporate the CITYGreen analyses into your web pages.
  9. Due: Preliminary presentation and discussion:  Monday, November 22
