11th Street Bridge Park’s Post

After City of Rochester , Ville de Paris 🧐😉 How remove an inner loop like a « périphérique » ? "When we were talking about this project a decade ago, it was in economic terms, pure benefit cost: Remove this highway, generate investment, benefits outweigh the costs by more than 2-to-1." Now, the conversation is "much more socially oriented. What impacts have these highways had on communities? What can be done to reverse that? How do we heal wounds and restore trust?" On top of a $75 million, 90,000-square-foot museum expansion completed last summer, 238 apartments, over 100 of which are for people making between 60% to 80% area median income, and 126-room Hampton Inn by Hilton hotel.

Jackson Redevelopment Authority in concert with partners 2C Mississippi announced an initial $1.5 million dollar green infrastructure investment in the Farish Street Historic District. Farish Street, sometimes referred to as a Black Wall Street was a center of Black business and culture in Jackson, Mississippi that thrived in spite of the challenges of segregation and racism. Many organizations and leaders of the Civil Rights Movement lived and worked there, making Farish street a symbol of Black socio-political resiliency. With the advent of integration of public schools combined with the systemic underinvestment that followed, the street began to decline. The Farish Street project was chosen by community members based on two factors, (1)the Urban Heat Island data collected for Jackson revealed that Farish Street is an extreme urban heat island, recording 10°F hotter than other parts of the city, and (2) Farish Street has historical significance.

This is an interesting take on #urbanism and #gentrification in #Houston. But it wrongly conflates the history of Joel Kotkin's Center for Opportunity Urbanism and the Kinder Institute for Urban Research -- especially the role of Steve Klineberg. These two institutions have taken separate paths in seeking to deal with Houston's urban issues. #cities https://lnkd.in/gYY23kAE

"Instead, restorative urbanism should be thought of as a concept about rebuilding community bonds through the ideas of urbanism. In essence that is what New Urbanism is about: building people-focused places that enhance community (among many other things). Restorative urbanism is complex, nuanced, and collaborative"

The architecture of the majority of the USA is, in fact dystopian since one of the most effective, healthy, and inexpensive forms of transportation is effectively architected away: #walking. The only halfway decent solution is buy your walk into a walkable community, i.e. greenways, beach trails, etc, but it requires upper middle class wealth. https://lnkd.in/dTVHz8WA

What to do with declining, vacant, and underutilized historic church buildings is an issue that many communities across the country are facing. For congregations with dwindling membership, the wall of maintenance costs is often insurmountable. Constructed in 1913, the historic St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church and its members were faced with this dilemma in the early 2000s. As a center of Tampa's Civil Rights Movement, St. Paul played host to numerous dignitaries, including Thurgood Marshall and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but the building was suffering from years of deferred maintenance. From the sale of the church in 2011, the congregation was able to move across town to a newer, smaller, and more affordable space, however, ensuring that the building's future use would preserve the building's character and legacy was vital. Ensuring this goal, Sage Partners, LLC was able to transform the historic sacred space into a Life Center, complete with an indoor play area, computer lab, and event space, while constructing an adjoining 120-unit affordable housing community. In the end, the congregation was sustained, the building's integrity and legacy were preserved, and a community need for affordable housing was met. Talk about a win-win-win!
