Community Workshop at the Sauganash Field House
In July 2016, the Good City Group worked with local aldermanic offices (39th and 45th wards) on a series of design charrettes that engaged the community. Residents expressed their needs, shared the history of their neighborhoods, identified architectural assets and natural landscapes. They envisioned a series of pedestrian and bike routes leading from one train station to the other, and from one landmark to the next.
The records, stories, images, and other data gathered from local institutions and community members were analyzed and synthesized into user friendly maps, narratives and systems (physical and digital), with which residents, conducted by the Good City Group, devised wayfinding solutions and guided hikes.
