“Landscape is a powerful ideological framework for the construction of cultural values.” – Dianne Harris (Chappell, xix)

“The best landscape architects have a gift for fulfilling social needs and expressing human values in their art.” -Sally A. Kitt Chappell

“In the real world, all communities are not created equal. Some are more equal than others. If a community happens to be inhabited by poor, powerless people of color, it receives less protection than powerful affluent white communities. Economics, politics, and race all play an important part in sorting out residential amenities and locally unwanted land uses” (Bullard, 2011, 89).

A step back...Photo Inventory


In an attempt to follow the three T's I've created a master photo inventory panel of the site as it appears today. It's important to have an overall sense of place, especially in this thesis as part of the EJ that I am trying to address is the fact that this community surrounds a former industrial site. So, these pictures tell the story of what this community lives with and looks at every day. And hopefully, they illustrate why it is so important to clean up and repurpose not only this site, but other sites like it.
