MCP Capstone

Our Master of Community Planning (MCP) program engaged with the community of Price Hill on Cincinnati's west side to re-envision their neighborhood business districts, in collaboration with Price Hill Will and the City of Cincinnati. The capstone work presents five visions for more vibrant, inclusive and healthy business districts.

MCP Thesis

This year's MCP thesis measures potential access to primary healthcare by car and by bus in Cincinnati. This comparison can help provide a more holistic view on geographic access and can also help with identifying disparities that could have otherwise been overlooked.

MLA Capstone

The MLA graduating work reimagines Rubbertown, a post-industrial neighborhood along the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky. Projects study low-impact development, environmental preservation, and trails, parks and gateway design.

BSUS/BUP Capstone

Our Bachelor of Urban Planning (BUP) and Bachelor of Science in Urban Studies (BSUS) program joined forces to create strategies for [re]building community with affordable housing in OTR, outlining six strategic visions based on future scenarios that anticipate short and long-term changes in socio-economic conditions.
