This paper illustrates how to use the comprehensive legible cityscape plan to revitalize a small city. The study is in Wilmington, Ohio. In the past two decades, especially in United States, lots of small cities are facing challenges, such as absorption by metropolitan cities, declining population, loss of working lands, lack of job opportunities and inactive commercial. How to solve these problems becomes one of the most important challenges for our society. By the methods of site research and analysis mapping, a comprehensive legible cityscape plan is developed. The comprehensive legible cityscape plan in this project consists of: retail store sign design, creating sense of entrance, wayfinding signs, creating or redesigning open space, main intersection redesign, bike lane and detail design, factory redesign and wall printing. The comprehensive legible cityscape plan will make the city of Wilmington more walkable, livable and legible. Moreover, it will bring back more residents, attract more visitors and create more job opportunities. As a conclusion, the comprehensive plan makes the city more legible, and revitalizing a small city reduces pressure on large cities and makes a better livable place for local residents.
