A competition worth perusing . . .

I would encourage everyone to take a look at the entries for the Urban Voids competition.

3/4 of the "Blog on the City" proprietors submitted proposals--see Loop/8 in the Honorable Mention section and Circum-Square in Gallery 2.

As our urban cores deteriorate, especially in Cleveland, we will need strategies and tactics to transition these once active industrial/commercial/residential zones into new zones of program, dormancy, land banking, etc.

Kent State's CUDC has conducted charettes in Youngstown dealing with the shrinking city problem.
