Alignment between city planning for “right-sizing” and vacant property management is crucial in declining situation
because of the limitation of budget and human resources. In the City of Flint, city officials created the Blight Elimination
Framework [BEF] to promote the efficiency of blight elimination and cooperation between various stakeholders. BEF was
created based on the land use typology described in a new master plan. Not long after the formulation of BEF, it showed a
partial effect on securing financing and expense reduction. Genesee County Land Bank Authority also created a “decisiontree”
that works together with the new master plan to promote the efficiency of property sales. These two methodologies
can be a catalyst to link a city-wide strategy to the management of particular vacant land.
