Course Details

Revitalization efforts are often challenged by neighborhood areas that are stagnant, lifeless shells of an earlier, more vital time. How do you transform these deteriorated, often unsafe spaces into vibrant and people-friendly neighborhood streetscapes, yards and gathering places? This course is a guide to engaging stakeholders and using innovative methods to create neighborhoods that are magnets for people to live, work and socialize. Bring your "place-making" challenges to this course and through a site visit, hands-on activities and place-making tools and techniques, learn how to create people-friendly, livable environments.

The class includes a neighborhood tour on either the afternoon of the first day or the morning of the second day. Wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.
