Chicago Streetscape
A long-term vision for a commercial corridor focused on spaces for community, supporting local businesses, and integrating urban-scale sustainability strategies.
The Chicago Streetscape is a public realm project dedicated to revitalizing a neighborhood commercial corridor. This transformative initiative reimagines sidewalks as vibrant spaces for neighborhood enjoyment, fostering a lively atmosphere for all. Serving as a public amenity accessible to everyone, the Streetscape is designed to cater to a diverse, multi-cultural, and intergenerational community, providing a hub for hanging out, walking, running, meeting, and shopping. The project prioritizes safety and security to catalyze community growth. By creating safe and secure spaces, the Chicago Streetscape becomes a catalyst for economic development, encouraging residents to come together in thriving communal areas. Additionally, the design incorporates elements that honor collective memory, fostering a sense of pride and identity within the neighborhood. This architectural endeavor seeks not only to reshape physical spaces but also to promote a strong and connected community in the heart of the neighborhood.
