THIS DOCUMENT PRESENTS AN ASSESSMENT OF THE QUALITY OF PROJECT-LEVEL EVALUATION PLANS OR COMPONENTS PRODUCED BY THE EIGHT IMPACT CITIES.

Abstract

DEVELOPMENT OF THE ASSESSMENT STRATEGY AND ITS APPLICATION IS DISCUSSED. RESULTS OF THIS ASSESSMENT PROCESS ARE PRESENTED FOR THE PROGRAM AS A WHOLE, FOR DIFFERENT PROJECT TYPES, AND FOR EACH OF THE IMPACT CITIES. DIFFERENCES IN COMPONENT QUALITY WERE OBSERVED AMONG PROJECTS OF DIFFERING FOCUS AND CITY OR ORIGIN. WHILE IT IS SAID TO APPEAR OVERALL THAT DIFFERENCES IN COMPONENT QUALITY ARE MORE THE RESULT OF DIFFERENCES IN PROJECT FOCI THAN OF CITY PLANNING DIFFERENCES, IT IS ALSO SAID TO BE TRUE THAT SOME CITIES DID BETTER THAN OTHERS, GIVEN AN EXPECTED QUALITY LEVEL.
