Hill District Greenprint
Find the Rivers! is working to create an overall plan for future green space in the neighborhood. The “Greenprint” project is being led by Walter Hood of Hood Design, with team members Arup and Studio for Spatial Practice. They are working with the community to determine the best locations for parks, gardens and trails and to identify strategies for developing a system of these green spaces. The project is aimed at reconnecting people to place, and establishing visual and physical relationships between the Hill District and the neighborhoods and rivers that surround it.
The process to develop the Greenprint will analyze the Hill District’s green assets and engage residents in planning ecologically sound development (such as storm water management) and its economic and public health benefits. The Greenprint work will also help the Hill District recapture its history by creating new links to historical sites and perhaps literally unearthing fragments of its past.
