This thesis is a case study designed to analyze the process one urban neighborhood, East Price Hill in Cincinnati, Ohio has used to revitalize a deteriorating area using the urban eco-village approach. The Price Hill/Seminary Square Eco-village is a project of the lead organization Imago and has been one of the pioneer communities of the urban eco-village movement. An eco-village is a small-scale, full-featured settlement where human activities are integrated into a supportive social environment with a low-impact way of life. As one of the first neighborhoods of Cincinnati outside of its downtown, East Price Hill possesses many civic and environmental assets to develop into a self-reliant community. This setting provides the context to fulfill the community’s vision of an ecological neighborhood. Their key objectives were to create a neighborhood that would offer an abundance of parks and greenspace, clean air and land, pedestrian-friendly streetscapes, trees, and renovated energy-efficient homes. The purpose of this case study is to provide one example of how models of sustainable development can be applied at the local level and serve as an alternative approach for neighborhood revitalization.
