Abstract:
The appearance and plans for Nardin Park’s physical landscape arise as a key area of importance
to stakeholders and investors in much of the research covered in the first half of this capstone. In a community
where 47% of the land is already cleared and open, and 54% of remaining structures are publicly owned, conversations
between Nardin Park stakeholders and external organizations such as the Detroit Collaborative Design Center
and City of Detroit Planning and Development Department focused on addressing resident concerns about the
safety of their families and property, and identifying action steps for improving the physical conditions of the
community
