My friend Lizzy helped design this booklet written by Steven Litt (the architecture critic for the Plain Dealer). I was really inspired by the turnout for the party- so many people supporting the notion of a better Cleveland.
Can better design in a city attract and retain people that are financially and emotionally invested in making it great? And is it putting the cart before the horse to invest in sustainable design when a city like Cleveland is struggling so much? I live down the street from the projects, so my point A is completely different from my neighbors. Is that a positive thing, that will lead to a place that is good on different levels? Or am I being naive to think that better bicycle lanes make a better city?
