Ms Jones’s blocks of Power


Tao Xu

Master of Landscape Architecture
Spring 2020






By acquiring vacant parcels of land, this proposal aims to create new community spaces for the residents of Englewood. The addition of vegetation and interactive spaces in these abandoned lots would allow for more green spaces and community gardens to permeate the neighborhood for a relatively low level of investment.
