Abstract
This paper hopes to examine what challenges, opportunities, and possibilities
compose Michigan's regional coordinated land use planning issues. The reader should
look for the obstacles that stand in the way of implementing change to allow regional
coordinated land us planning initiatives to take hold within Michigan's structure of
government. West Michigan, Mid Michigan, Southeast Michigan, and the Greater
Traverse City were the four regions examined throughout Michigan's Lower Peninsula
during this study. In order to tackle land use and urban planning issues in Michigan, I
asked the seventeen participants to consider what attempts at regional coordinated land
use planning have been successful, and to address any problems they saw within the state.
Many of the participants cited numerous answers and examples that helped me draw
inter- and intra-regional conclusions that were examined and acknowledged as Michigan
progressing in the national land use, growth management, urban sprawl movement.
Governor Jennifer Granholm outlined her initiatives in her Land Use Action Plan to help
the state address these issues in November 2003. This study also compares Governor
Granholm's ideas for regional coordinated land use planning policies and programs to
those of the participants. Statewide and region specific difference must be recognized,
understood, and addressed in order for any legislation to be successful.
