From the report:

National trends center on the “Europeanization” of urban living. Richmond needs to ride the wave and get a young dynamic person to lead the effort to “chase” this generational group. Places like Carytown, the Fan, Church Hill, Shockoe Slip, Shockoe Bottom, Maymont, Byrd Park, and Jackson Ward are places that give credence to that lifestyle. Richmond’s neighborhoods, the river, and its architecture are its greatest strengths. They need to be protected and nourished.
