Revitalization through Placemaking
The Problem:
Open Space
Rec Space
Cecil B. Moore Ave. - Girard Ave.
The Site:
Residents lack adequate access to developed green space. Open lots with significant potential are neglected and accumulate trash. These spaces lower the value of the surrounding properties and have a negative mental impact on the community
Activate the space by constructing a PARK.
Corner of Broad St & Master St
The Solution:
The Why:
Contact with the natural world improves physical and psychological health
Parks and open spaces increase the value of neighboring residential property and has a similar effect on commercial property value
City parks make inner city neighborhoods more livable by offering recreational opportunities and providing a place where people can feel a sense of community
Access to parks has been linked to reductions in crime and reduced juvenile delinquency
