Interesting! The Great Saunter event, a 32-mile grand loop walk around the edges Manhattan. Increasingly, with the completion of pathways encircling the island, this kind of trek can become more broadly enabled. (In her piece, "Great Saunter Tips from Decades of Walking Around Manhattan" Sarah Milstein mentions that more segments of established pathways around the edges are falling into place.) Terrific to see the proliferation of these kinds of events, and, in the process, communities building this kind of walking green infrastructure! https://lnkd.in/gpE-C9F5

Let’s dive into how you can design and budget for a community garden that not only beautifies your surroundings but also strengthens community bonds.

In honor of?#BlackHistoryMonth, we’re spotlighting The 345, our men’s housing program that occupies the former space of the historic 1950s-era Black-owned Danzig Motel. The building was originally built by O.T. Bell in 1959, and was one of the only operating Black-owned motels in Atlanta. In transforming the dilapidated property into The 345, we wanted to keep our focus on Westside neighborhood residents. The goal is to bolster the availability of affordable solutions for existing residents, the majority of whom are Black, who have long endured a blighted neighborhood with scarce quality housing options. “The 345 is just one example of how we are working to uncover and restore critical pillars of this community by tackling one of its most pervasive issues: lack of affordable housing,” said Bruce Deel, Founder and CEO of City of Refuge. As rents and home prices continue to rise, The 345 is one of our first iterations of our goal to create housing opportunities where displacement poses a threat to legacy residents. Since The 345 opened in May 2023, we’ve housed over 30 residents. By investing in affordable housing, we are better able to help reposition Atlanta’s historic Westside neighborhood as a thriving, vibrant, and inclusive community.?#CityofRefuge https://lnkd.in/eC4zDm4H

BALTIMORE: DRUID HILL PARK POOL NO. 2 Built: 1921 Desegregated: 1955 Drained: 1956 Public pools were common in American cities before the 1950s and most were officially “whites only”. When the Supreme Court declared segregated access to public amenities (such as pools) to be unconstitutional, cities circumvented integration by simply removing the amenities for everybody. In short, rather than integrate public pools, many cities decided to demolish them altogether. Subsequently, beginning in the 60s, there was an explosion in the popularity of backyard swimming pools in the suburbs which were, of course, mostly whites-only due to restrictive covenants and exclusionary zoning. In the name of racism and avoiding integration, American cities effectively eliminated a public good and privatised it for only those who could afford it.

The latest stage of our iterative Issues and Options is live - help to influence the vision for the Colchester Local Plan Review ???? #planmaking #localplan

Our world is quickly changing, and these changes mean the old ways of thinking about housing, mobility, and land uses no longer fit how people live. Communities must plan in a different way, and a comprehensive plan is the first step. My colleague Erin Perdu, AICP discusses new practices that can help communities in her new blog. #cities #urbanplanning #urbanplaces
