Abstract Details

2020, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
One of Cincinnati’s most unique features is the abundance of rst-ring suburbs. Among them is Madisonville, a neighborhood from the early 19th century which has remained one of the city’s most densely populated areas for decades. Demographics and economic levels have uctuated continually over time to create a uniquely diversi ed community. However, in recent years Madisonville has seen dramatic changes in its business centers brought in by years of economic pressure from neighboring towns. Transplants are making room for themselves through a disruptive pattern that is bulldozing the current community. While this change can be seen as a positive economic move, ultimately the loss of community this is causing will negatively impact the neighborhood. The limited nancial means of Madisonville residents matched with the pressures of such economically imposing neighbors has made the full prevention of this disruption impossible. However, if the current residents were able to gain the means to rise with the tide of the area it is possible for them to help protect the culture of the area. Retro tting the existing homes of Madisonville can create opportunities for residents to nd savings and potentially pro ts in the face of a rising cost of living. The roots of change have already begun to segment Madisonville. Instead of working to reseal the cracks that have been made, this can be seen as an opportunity to provide means for the existing community of residents to rise up and enjoy the bene ts of the new Madisonville.
