Development Study for Community Engagement, Tennessee
The project aims to create stronger ties between St. Jude's Hospital and the surrounding communities in Memphis. By utilizing unused parking lots in nearby plots, the project seeks to break down the barriers that separate the hospital from the city. The project proposes the development of affordable housing and a cultural hub that will host a variety of programs and activities to increase community engagement. The cultural hub will be a space where community members can come together and share their experiences, ideas, and talents. It will serve as a platform for community-building activities such as workshops, performances, and exhibits. Through this project, we hope to strengthen the relationship between St. Jude's Hospital and the surrounding communities while also providing tangible benefits such as affordable housing and community programming. By utilizing unused space and working collaboratively with local stakeholders, we aim to create a sustainable and equitable model for future urban development/ rePLACE 2023
