Course Details

Learn how to quickly analyze what’s going on in a neighborhood during a block walk. What can the housing stock and businesses tell you? The people on the street and the streetscape itself? Hone your observation skills and take home a system to analyze what you see and how your assumptions can color your observations. This course includes a site visit where participants take part in a block walk, perform an analysis and discuss their findings in terms of neighborhood revitalization. Participants will come away with a practical how-to guide for conducting a block walk in their own communities.

The neighborhood tour requires fairly extensive walking. Wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. We often have lunch during the neighborhood tour, bring cash.
