The Orange County Great Park (OCGP) is one of the United States' largest, long-term urban planning and design projects, and one that is faced with major problems of contestations and uncertainty. The OCGP planners and designers are faced with many challenges. It is an expensive ongoing production for which they must keep resources coming in, while simultaneously maintaining and building public engagement, and keeping hope and belief in the project alive. In this dissertation, I explore how the planners and designers approach these problems and work to resolve them.

520 $a The Orange County Great Park (OCGP) is one of the United States' largest, long-term urban planning and design projects, and one that is faced with major problems of contestations and uncertainty. The OCGP planners and designers are faced with many challenges. It is an expensive ongoing production for which they must keep resources coming in, while simultaneously maintaining and building public engagement, and keeping hope and belief in the project alive. In this dissertation, I explore how the planners and designers approach these problems and work to resolve them.
520 $a This study employed ethnographic research methods to examine the approach and processes of the OCGP planners and designers. I conducted a two-year ethnographic study of the Orange County Great Park, employing a multi-method ethnographic approach including: participant observation, interviews, archival research of public records, popular media material, and designs.
520 $a Through my research, I found three important elements in the planning and design process: narratives, models, and myths. First, future-oriented, coherent narratives stabilize the project. Their extensive and prolific storytelling creates narrative coherence, holding the stories of the park together to counteract the threats, fluctuations and uncertainty of the park project. Second, a new concept of models emerged: living design models. These are active models, open to the public, creating a recursive relationship between the community and the project. Third, I developed a new concept of myth: living myth. Myth diverts attention away from conflict and helps people to believe in the project. Living myth emerges through lived experiences, and it grows and changes with a project.
520 $a Through these elements, the planners and designers do more than build a park—they also construct publics, build community, and offer value-based visions of the future. Coherent narratives, living models, and living myth engage the public in the future and in an idealized version of the present through a more imaginative design and planning process. This imaginative process helps people connect to the OCGP project through values, emotions, and experiences, rather than rational means.
