5 Page Paper critiquing a ‘planning science’ used in the updated “Master Plan of Denver, Colorado” (pdf provided). Academic Help

I’m trying to study for my Art & Design course and I need some help to understand this question.

Project 2: Plan Critique. Processes and Practices.

https://www.denvergov.org/media/denvergov/cpd/blueprintdenver/Blueprint_Denver_City_Council_Draft-print.pdf

Purpose: critique a ‘planning science’ problem implicit in Blueprint Denver (above). This could address any of the topics raised.

Choose an issue in Blueprint Denver. Review in depth the ‘planning science’ literature relevant to your selected issue, including (1) at least 5 articles in the peer-reviewed literature and (2) additional technical material derived from the web. Write a brief technical report addressing at least the following questions segmented into two parts: a ‘critique’ that is largely critical or questioning, and a short conclusion that is balanced.

Critique:

Background: What is the plan? What is your selected issue?

How was the issue addressed in the plan? Describe in detail different places where the issue arises and how it is handled

How is the issue addressed in the ‘planning science’ literature? In-depth article review

What problems/concerns are brought up in the ‘planning science’ literature relevant to how the issue is treated in Denver Blueprint?

What issues/concerns do these raise about the plan itself?

• Is the analysis (implicit or explicit) in the plan correct?
• How much uncertainty is there in the analysis? E.g., how much do we really know about this issue?
• If the plan is wrong on this issue, how much difference does it make?

Balanced Conclusion:

What are the pros and cons of how Denver handled the issue? Considering your research, how would you have handled the issue? Would you have written the plan differently? Come up with a different plan? If so, what?
