Abstract
The project’s goal is to build an interactive website in the form of a Content Management System
(CMS) that would engage the interest of the public and stakeholders in Ellicott City. The
architecture students of UMD, under the umbrella of the Partnership for Action Learning in
Sustainability (PALS), came up with design proposals and illustrations for the redevelopment of
Ellicott City in Howard County and wish to publicize it on an online platform rather than having a
conventional report. The students, led by their studio professors, have also collected research on
urban design theories and techniques in the context of Ellicott City. If designed, taking into
consideration all the requirements, the website will also address the historic city’s issues in relation
to transit, urban revitalization, and site flooding etc. The project also includes organization of the
documentation provided by the students and its incorporation into the website. The final deliverable
of the project will be a website which accomplishes the above-mentioned goals. This document
gives an overview of the project requirements for this project which is a part of INFM 737 Capstone
Experience at the College of Information Studies, University of Maryland. URL: www.ellicottcitydesign.com
