HECTOR urban design

Detroiters are vocal about things they don’t want in their neighborhoods. Articulating what they do want is much harder. Future neighborhood plans may want to borrow from the Cody Rouge plan —it's the best example of doing it right. outliermedia.org/cody-rouge-det…

American Planning Association @APA_Planning has recognized the Cody Rouge & Warrendale YOUTH-CENTRIC Neighborhood Framework with the 2023 National Planning Excellence Award! Here's to healthy and imaginative futures on Detroit's Far West Side! hectorurbandesign.com/cody-rouge-war…

📣 Big announcement! We are thrilled to share the winners of the 2023 #APAawards! These four recipients shared stunning master plans, transformative change for their communities, innovative infrastructure, and more! Learn more about the plans of the year: bit.ly/3CFNWgi

@StreetsDept @nate_file @PhillyInquirer Philly teens not only need spots to be themselves, they deserve major roles in imagining, critiquing & making spaces for themselves & community! whyy.org/articles/reima… @seamaac @muralarts @PhilaParkandRec

Philly’s public space is underfunded. Thank you to @nate_file for inviting me to think about how this effects younger Philadelphians for today’s @PhillyInquirer. We need to champion public space. inquirer.com/news/public-sp…

The renovation of Mifflin Square Park is set be completed by early 2022 and will feature a new sprayground, two separate play areas and include squishy safety surfacing and seating areas. @cjaramillo reports. whyy.org/articles/1-5-m…

Last week, our Community Leaders Fellowship Program participants learned about zoning and planning for stormwater. A huge thank you to Damon Rich of @HECTORdesigns for an engaging discussion on ways New Jersey's planning and development laws can be useful in advocacy work!

Today's #archiveshashtagparty is #ArchivesSustainability We have a lot of archives about sustainability in Newark's environment like this guide to the Riverfront you can read here ow.ly/zR4q50Jmxx7

Did you know: The #MorrisCanal was built from 1825 to 1831 to transport Pennsylvania coal. The “Mountain Climbing Canal” stretched 102 miles across #Warren, #Sussex, #Morris, #Passaic, #Essex & #Hudson counties - youtu.be/LLKiP_zLSP0

granite markers arrived on site!

Fascinating look at one of the people redesigning our diverse Mifflin Square Park. twitter.com/nicflatow/stat…

“It really frustrates me that equity and community process[es] are put in the same sort of box when an equitable process is very different than a general community process.” — Nola Miguel, GES coalition @amilkman @NextCityOrg nextcity.org/daily/entry/wh…

@EricWBunch @HOET_Landscape But with its view of the KCMO skyline could look like Newark's riverfront
