Greenwich paradox: A tale of Urban Renewal

Abstract

At its core, the project proposes transforming underutilized residential backyards into a dynamic communal space, a central courtyard designed as a shared gathering hub. By revitalizing these spaces, the project addresses the community’s desire for accessible, engaging public areas that foster social cohesion and well-being. This urban scale project focuses on transforming a specific block in Greenwich, currently consisting of houses with private backyards, to include both private backyards and a communal courtyard.
