Lower Lawrenceville Planning Study
Team: Studio for Spatial Practice
Client: Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Authority
Location: Pittsburgh, PA
Date : 2008
Studio fSP led a community planning process for the Lower Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The plan is focused on guiding the revitalization of the existing mixed-use retail corridor through a combination of development guidelines, infrastructure recommendations and streetscape and open space improvements. The project also explored reconnecting the neighborhood to the Allegheny river. For the project Studio fSP led a public process to analyze, explore options and make recommendations for the district.
Since the planning was done, new businesses have continued to open in the district, plans are underway for new mixed-use development at Doughboy Square, a small park space has been constructed, and recommendations from the plan have been incorporated into long term policy documents for the future of the Allegheny Riverfront.
