The CCP is an initiative started by Emory to provide a framework to discuss common quality of life issues within the Clifton community - the area within three miles of Emory's core campus.
Our goal is to engage local audiences in a productive, community dialogue, including
- civic leaders,
- business leaders,
- local governments,
- employers/employees and
- local residents.
The CCP focuses on four areas that will have a significant and positive impact on the community.
- Live Locally - encouraging housing in the Clifton community that will appeal to local employees, let them live near their jobs, and reduce the number of commuter cars on area roads.
- Walk Anywhere - walking supports safe and vibrant streets, and can be a healthy viable commute option.
- Commute Creatively - reducing the number of local residents and employees who travel on area roads in single occupancy vehicles - commute differently and reduce congestion.
- Enhance Vibrant Neighborhoods - improving the community by supporting local shops, restaurants, entertainment and activities.
CCP's Vision:
In 10 years, students, faculty staff, patients, residents and visitors will know they are in the Clifton community by the
- progressive urban design,
- beautifully landscaped streetscapes,
- walkable safe sidewalks,
- range of activities offered in the area and
- the confluence of people actively engaged in the community.
There will be the sense that "this is the place to be."
CCP's Mission:
To bring neighbors, businesses, institutions and civic partners to develop a vision for the future and work together on implementation.
