It involves building local knowledge about how to care for projects, putting systems in place to support green space—building policy, creating a workforce— and changing expectations about what urban green space should look like. These changes require multidirectional vision that recognizes the past processes that created vacant land and infrastructure problems, sees the present issues of physical maintenance requirements and community needs for stabilization, and looks forward to changes that will be necessary to support building healthier, resilient neighborhoods.","PeriodicalId":417666,"journal":{"name":"Vacant to Vibrant","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122231662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the way that cities have developed, and the way parts of them were demolished, have shaped the location and form of vacant land. Historical context sheds light on the physical and social attributes of vacant lots that will affect the success of urban greening projects. Urban greening projects are deeply personal features of a community that touch many residents in some way—they bring people together, build health, and build wealth. For this reason, understanding a location’s history is a critical first step to developing reuse strategies for vacant lots by informing approaches to community engagement, project site selection, and design.","PeriodicalId":417666,"journal":{"name":"Vacant to Vibrant","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134316934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For green stormwater infrastructure projects, an objective of scaling up is achieving measurable reductions in stormwater runoff, such as reducing total volume or peak flow, which is critical for sewer and stormwater systems. For urban greening projects, the purpose of scaling up is to achieve measurable effects on human health, property values, crime rates, and the environment. For vacant land reuse projects, scaling up means stabilizing home prices and slowing outward migration, foreclosure, abandonment, and demolition. For projects such as Vacant to Vibrant that sit at the intersection of stormwater management, urban greening, and vacant land use, any of these outcomes could be goals for scaling up.","PeriodicalId":417666,"journal":{"name":"Vacant to Vibrant","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128383295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It reduces expenditures for vital services such as air filtration, stormwater management, and temperature regulation.1 Urban green space adds value to nearby properties, increases commerce, and reduces violent crime. It improves human health outcomes2 by reducing stress,3 encouraging exercise,4 and reducing illness and death from respiratory disease. The Vacant to Vibrant project was inspired to bring these benefits to areas where they could assist with neighborhood stabilization.

There were permits to obtain, timelines to coordinate, and agreements to draft to formalize leases, contractors, and community partners. Construction began in fall 2014, in the third year of the project, and extended through spring 2015 (see appendix). The extensive preparatory work of selecting sites and creating detailed agreements paid off in this next phase of the project—once ground was broken, installation proceeded relatively smoothly. No costly surprises were hidden under the soil surface of parcels, and no major incidents disrupted work. This translated to projects that were built to specification, within the expected time frame, close to original budgeted costs (table 4-1).","PeriodicalId":417666,"journal":{"name":"Vacant to Vibrant","volume":"6 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133111423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
