Project description and goals
The project’s intent is to turn a vacant lot into a local amenity, while simultaneously improving the environmental and human capital of the neighborhood. Goals of sustainability will be accomplished via various green design of the parking lot, such as pervious paving; while the social benefit goals involve youth participating in the beautification process of the lot.
About ReImagining a More Sustainable Cleveland:
Re-Imagining Greater Cleveland is a pragmatic, data driven strategy for the management and reuse of vacant properties in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. The initiative builds on the work began in the 2007 Re-Imagining a More Sustainable Cleveland study, which was led by nonprofit community development organization Neighborhood Progress, Inc. (NPI) and Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative.
