English Woods Revitalization

Fall 2020

English Woods is a neighborhood on the west side of Cincinnati that once housed many middle income families in CMHA homes. The 1950s homes were removed in 2009 and the neighborhood was left alone and neglected. This work from Fall 2020 explores how the site could be revitalized to become a thriving community with a variety of uses.
