Phoenix’s Downtown Core has experienced significant renewal. Multifamily markets have expanded significantly as people seek to live in urban environments and more than $5 billion invested in public and private capital over the past decade.

This can neglect current community members and their potential assets for placemaking.

Community members should have spatial justice and the right to representational spaces. If developers worked along with community members utilizing modest structures and open source design, co-creation in communities could help relieve displacement in cities experiencing massive development. The city should own the city.
