The village of Lincoln Heights is a shrinking village located in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. It used to be a home for African Americans who were employed in the nearby industries, but now the village is shrinking due to the deindustrialization. The village is suffering from decay, poverty, and a lack of safety. This research aims to revitalize the area into a walkable community to raise property values, and thus the economic value of the village. The village manager of Lincoln Heights has tried to develop city owned parcels and vacant parcels to retain more tax revenue. I am looking to propose a walkability plan and analyze the effects based on these parcels. In the plan, the development is divided into three phases since the budget is limited. To increase the walkability in the village, I will be proposing mixed-use buildings, public transportation, recreational areas and street designs to. I will also be researching previous landmark studies that have followed a similar process. I will use network analysis and walkability scores to evaluate the plan. The results will show how the physical components mentioned above changes the village. To help implement the plan, I will give some policy recommendations to encourage small businesses, the quality of schools, and the security of the village.
