Re-vision-ing the Bronx Grand Concourse: A Community-Centered Approach

A strong sense of community exists: People, Diversity, Friendliness.

People have a desire to be proud of the Concourse and see its potential.

Missed opportunities to make people proud with perceived neglect leading to apathy.

People want to participate in the Concourse's future.

A vital future depends on a healthy present: meet basic needs first.

Applying a Service Perspective for Impact

Reframe design problems as service opportunities

Understand all experiential elements in concert

Focus less on being user-centered; co-creation is critical
