Douglas, GA Design Charrette

Douglas, GA Design Charrette

The CCDP took a team of 17 students down to Douglas, GA, for our spring design charrette. The Downtown Development Authority of Douglas requested our help in creating a cohesive vision that addressed revitalization potential, corridor enhancements, and infill housing along a 3-mile business district. In just 3 days, students representing all of CED's disciplines toured the town for the first time, facilitated a community listening session, and developed short-term and long-range concepts around streetscape improvements, placemaking, greenway enhancement, celebrating Black culture, and infill housing in historic districts. The work they were able to produce in just three days is truly remarkable and the Douglas DDA was blown away by our innovative ideas -- we hope to see some of them implemented in the future!
