Creating physical networks of social and health benefits

WPA2 : Local Code / Real Estates from Nicholas de Monchaux on Vimeo.


An ideal study to drive policy change in all major cities and regions, and could be funded by new health bill. New York City specifically lacks major developable parcels. Time to move to remnant parcels, those forgotten places that are city-owned and managed, but perhaps do not get the maintenance they deserve. The San Francisco case study in the video shows how the collection of remnant parcels that combined with environmental, social and public health data could become a network of public spaces that is designed to bring a spectrum of benefits. Combine remnant parcels with some street reclamations and wow.
