The Vision

How can Chamberbrook become a place that people come TO and not just THROUGH? The Guide for Change explores the rich cultural history of the neighborhood and offers multiple ways in which the residents, associations, groups, and the city can make a collective impact. One of the most essential goals of the Chamberbrook masterplan is to empower the people of the neighborhood. This means providing the knowledge and design tools necessary to make impact. This is why this section is called a Guide. Because it not only shows the potential of the neighborhood from a live, work, and engagement perspective. But also provides instructions, resources, and costs to facilitate small scale projects for those interested in making change.

HOW TO READ THE GUIDE FOR CHANGE

The Guide for Change is organized through sites of intervention. The team identified the immediate areas of need in the neighborhood based on the feedback from the community engagement sessions. The ideas shown in the guide are not site specific, so they can apply in any other properties or streets in the neighborhood and outside of it. To clearly demonstrate the potential of Chamberbrook, we took real photos of the existing conditions and visualized ideas in them to have a clear before and after. Finally, the images point out where to locate supporting documents and instructions in the book for the strategies utilized, this to empower individuals groups interested in making change.
