Abstract <br />The following report was completed by students enrolled in Land Use Planning: Planning for Resilience on the Urban Edge <br />(PA 5211), taught by Professor Fernando Burga in fall 2017 at the University of Minnesota. Students in the course <br />collaborated with the City of Ramsey through the Resilient Communities Project partnership. <br />A team of three graduate students in urban and regional planning was selected to work with Ramsey parks and recreation <br />staff to explore ideas, designs, and concepts for a community center. The student team researched options for various <br />geographic models (centralized vs. satellite/decentralized) and governance structures (public vs. private) for a community <br />center in Ramsey, including detailed case studies of these models and governance structures in other cities in Minnesota <br />and nationally. The student team presented a framework for selecting a site for a community center, and recommended next <br />steps to help the City move forward with further developing the concept. <br />2 <br />
