We aim to support a healthy South Park for all beings. The full removal of Highway 99 offers potential to integrate human, environmental, and economic health throughout the neighborhood. Inspired by the biodigester’s potential to convert food waste into energy and organic fertilizer, we envision a holistic, circular collective centered on a mixed-use, uninterrupted, bike and pedestrian greenway along the old highway.

Our collective works to remedy past harms and empower flexible, local initiatives of a visionary, blue-green future. Our framework uplifts resident values and voices through a focus on: community connectivity; communal affordable housing; visionary flood adaptation; naturally-treated pollution in the soils and water; material reuse and energy generation; and community food production and access.

We propose a toolkit of ‘typologies’ with modules that can be implemented and modifi ed by the South Park community as needed over time. Without prescribing changes to this unique residential-industrial neighborhood, we provide a vision for a holistic, reconnected, vibrant South Park community, now and for generations to come.
