This document explains the State of Place statistical analysis of three commercial areas in the City of Bowie, Maryland: Bowie Local Center, MD 450 Corridor, and Old Town Bowie—identified in the 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan as having economic development potential. The State of Place analysis uses algorithms to quantify the economic value of urban design, provides recommendations to raise the economic development value of these areas, and estimates the increased economic value associated with implementing urban design improvements. Only a few examples of ideal scenarios are shown herein; the City of Bowie will continue to test scenarios to achieve the ideal roster of urban design changes needed. This project was funded and managed by the Prince George’s
County Planning Department’s Planning Assistance to Municipalities and Communities (PAMC) Program.
