Communities can become more sustainable through the planning and design of the public realm, which includes streets, parks, civic spaces, natural areas, trails, stormwater facilities, and other publicly owned lands. A well-planned and designed public realm can generate significant benefits for a community, including increased property values, stabilized neighborhoods, and improved water quality. However not all parks and public spaces generate significant benefits. This study explored the key factors that influence the adoption of innovation in the planning and design process, resulting in High Performance Public Spaces (HPPSs) that generate economic, environmental, and social sustainability benefits. The research was based on the Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DIT), which states that the diffusion and adoption of innovation is a universal process of social change. A mixed-methods case study design was used for this study, including a Delphi method that developed 25 criteria for HPPSs; nomination of 32 cases of HPPS based on the criteria; field studies to select three cases for study; background interviews and evaluation of public case files for the three cases; statistical analysis of a survey instrument administered to the members of the three planning and design teams; and a thematic/code analysis of loosely structured follow-up interviews. The study identified six common factors that appear to influence the adoption of innovation in the planning and design of HPPSs. The three strongest factors appeared to be: a strong leader; collaborative relationships; and external characteristics including system openness and stakeholder involvement. Three secondary factors included: the perception of the innovation; perceived economic benefits and return-on-investment; and the presence of a long-range vision. The study also theorized that planning and design innovations are adopted in two stages: early conceptual planning and design innovations, and detailed design and implementation innovations. Future study is recommended to explore the stages of adoption in the planning and design process; the relationship between the two key factors of strong leadership and collaborative relationships; and the potential influence of other factors in the adoption of innovation in the planning and design process including leadership, passion, funding, private sector involvement, and the transformative potential of a project.
