Redeveloping Urban Brownfields: Integrating “Creative Class” Neighborhoods Near City Centers

NAGEL, PETER, II

Abstract Details

2007, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
Many cities once known for their thriving industrial cores are now left with only brownfields. With many of these areas having prime location, often being nestled near downtowns and transportation routes, they can become a destination for the emerging “creative class” via new live/work communities. These redevelopments can seek to reverse urban decay and suburban flight by catering to today’s large population of young professionals, and these former derelict sites can once again bring vitality, youth, and economy back to the American city center. Using a site in Milwaukee as my study area, I will begin by researching by researching brownfield remediation strategies as well as “urban village” precedents. This will then lead into several areas of the project being designed in detail, with “social spaces” being the key. Upon implementation of this thesis, this site can once again become a unique area in the city of Milwaukee.
