Movement alternatives and environmental opportunities
Transportation alternatives were studied within the context of changingurban form and the possibilities that come with a new green infrastructure.
Students sought new models for recon�guring roadways to enhance functionality and environmental quality.
Reconceive site strategies for large site, highway accessed commercial redevelopment opportunities.
Alternatives for o�ce and retail site design and programming
Students illustrated novel approaches to remaking obsolete manufacturing and industrial areas for reuse as commercial, residential, and recreational centers for sustainable community life.
Community stakeholders provided guidance for students to map assets and tensions within the complex uptown communities to facilitate strategic planning.
Working with developers, and practitioners, students created new models for underserved sectors such as a�ordable workforce housing and university linked retirement communities
During 2006-2008, students worked closely with four of the Uptown Communities to envision community development alternatives that woulod support new and expanded housing opportunities within a framework of revitalized neighborhood business districts, enhanced cultural and social institutions, new recreational and greenspace o�erings for an improved quality of life.
During 2008-2010, the studio derived its focus through place-based regional economic development strategies which call for the revitalization of street and highway infrastructure as a framework for community development, economic growth, quality of life, and environmental improvements. Working with eight communities and city sta�, students envisioned alternative redevelopment models.
