Reimagining Neighborhood Commercial Street
Design Solutions to Enhance Authentic Experience and Social Vitality

Neighborhood business districts (NBD) are hubs of social life and economic activity. Rich in historical attractions, streetscapes ideally possess an authentic quality that pumps life into the city. Unfortunately, too often this authentic experience is obscured by car dominance, safety issues, and air quality. The design proposes reframing the design of neighborhood commercial streets to prioritize people and enhance a neighborhood’s charm.
