Uptown Cincinnati
Spring 2021 | BUP and BSUS Senior Capstone Project
Each city and neighborhood faces its own unique mobility needs and placemaking challenges. This project [re]visions an Uptown Cincinnati with 'mobility by choice' for people, equitable access to resources/goods and services and environmental stewardship. Uptown Cincinnati is a collection of five eclectic neighborhoods - Avondale, Clifton, Corryville, University Heights (CUF) and Mt. Auburn. Today Uptown Cincinnati is driven by education, innovation and healthcare anchored by University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Zoo and nationally ranked medical facilities including UC Health, Cincinnati Children’s and TriHealth, and home to the Innovation Corridor, a research and technology hub.
This spring semester capstone is uniquely relatable to a planning practicum with collaborative foundations. The aligned disciplines in planning, urban design, and urban studies join together to provide a more comprehensive approach to planning, design exploration and policy making. Using scenario planning concepts, this project considered the future of mobility - both physical and socio-economic - and the future of placemaking and trends for live, work and play.

How can we improve the lives of people by flipping the paradigm to focus on making local distances feel shorter by improving the quality of living and moving without a personal vehicle?

When thinking about our future needs of mobility, examining the changes and transitions that must happen over time is easier when space is defined more clearly.
