Personal Statement
My Design Trust fellowship enabled me
to understand the value of open space
in community development – a
value that goes beyond its use for recreation
and greenery. Well designed housing creates
beautiful neighborhoods. Public open
space transforms neighborhoods into communities. Public open space
is a vital component in the continuing evolution of democracy in our country.
