This report evaluates the implementation of the Neighborhood Planning for Community Revitalization (NPCR) project and presents the major lessons learned in the first 5 years of the NPCR's existence. During the past five years, 161 applied research projects have been completed by 70 neighborhood organizations working with 120 students from 10 academic institutions in the Twin Cities area. These projects focus on neighborhood planning and project implementation. Following an introduction, the sections are: (1) "Building Neighborhood Capacity"; (2) "Building Academic Capacity"; (3) "Special Projects"; and (4) "Lessons Learned about NPCR." An appendix lists NCPR projects completed from 1993 through 1998. (SLD)
