Abstract:
This creative project is a rivitalization plan of the McKinley neighborhood, Muncie, Indiana. This project is focused primarily on the existing problems, as they related to the expanding urban pattern in the City of Muncie, and uses an urban design process to produce a final research paper and neighborhood design proposal incorporating social, residential, commercial, recreational, streetscape and industrial uses, public facilities, zoning traffic systems and pedestrians. In addition this project includes a design for a portion of McKinley neighborhood (located between Jefferson and Madison street, being bordered on the south by Race street). It is a case study aimed at improving the new use of housing as well as relating to harmony within this neighborhood.
