I only get two more days of working with this lovely human for the season. Gotta say that she is the bees knees when it comes to work wives. I am grateful to have met you on this plant lady journey. You let me be myself, are crazy supportive and encouraging and put up with my bullshit on the daily. Laughing with you is one of my favorite past times. Thank you for being you, Shebby. #cincyparks #workwife (at Caldwell Nature Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CluaLyvOfon/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lessons from Haussmann and Burnham
Some ideas that Haussmann put into his architecture plans spilled over into Chicago's plans as well and I believe some of them would work well in Cincinnati. Since both Paris and Chicago are very highly populated they figured out new transportation methods like underground trains to keep the streets more clear. This could benefit Cincinnati because then most transportation could move underground which would lessen the amount of accidents on the streets. This could also benefit us because it may draw people to the trains instead of driving to their destination which could help pollution, traffic, and gas prices. Bella Nelson
Moving public transport underground could be even more feasible for Cincinnati than many cities, because partial subway tunnels have already been constructed (during the early 1900s) beneath it. They are sealed off and in disrepair, but this infrastructure could be a starting point for revisiting the project, at least to create routes connecting the neighborhoods downtown and closely surrounding it.
(planned and built extent of Cincinnati subway tunnels)
Both Haussmann and Burnham emphasized the importance of public parks and gathering places, and Cincinnati has room to grow in these respects as well. It is already closer to Haussmann’s ideal of every residence being within 10 minutes walk of a park than most cities in the U.S., with about 88% of people in city limits living within walking distance of a green space. But certain neighborhoods, like Lower Price Hill, Camp Washington, and the core of Downtown, have disproportionately less access to public green space, and less tree cover. POC and people in low income neighborhoods also have considerably smaller park space near them than white and wealthy people. (https://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/cincyparks/news/cincinnati-once-again-ranked-top-10-city-in-the-nation-for-parks/parks-overall-trust-for-public-land-score-2022/).
Moving some commuters underground could free up space for adding foot and bike paths along roads that currently lack them, as well as expanding and creating new green space. Even planting trees or gardens along roadways would improve air quality, cool those areas during hot months, and improve storm drainage. Removing some of the demand for vehicle space could allow for this in some places without as extensive building/infrastructure demolition as Paris and Chicago underwent.

Haussmann’s plans of Chicago incorporated large bodies of water into transportation, entertainment, and attraction. The City of Chicago’s riverwalk has become a recreational spot for locals and tourists to congregate over unique restaurants, views, and events. In Cincinnati, I believe urban planners have done an excellent job in developing a multi use riverwalk along the area of Smale Park. Although the Kentucky side of the Ohio river has beautiful spots and attractions, there is more room for Haussmann’s plans to be developed.
Less than 1,000ft across the river from Smale Park, you will find Covington Plaza, a recent project designed to connect the city of Covington to the river. This alluring addition to the city is missing the 24/7 attraction that the Chicago Riverwalk holds. Covington Plaza meets the recreation aspect of Haussmann’s “Transportation, Recreation, and Economy” idea. But there is no steady income happening at the plaza unless an event is happening. Covington Plaza could further their design with tables and chairs along the plaza, that patrons could use to grab food from food trucks or restaurants along the street. Additionally, Covington Plaza could feature boat tours along the Ohio River, especially in summer months that could share information about the unique events and parks along the river. Reagan Sears
A lesson Cincinnati can emulate from Paris is destroying infected, unwanted alleyways, and from Chicago, improving their waterfronts. A week ago, I walked around Corryville and Mount Auburn with my assigned group for studio class. We found a lot of alleys in Corryville that were almost forgotten and had decomposing cracks from the buildings that made the path very narrow. The closed-off air was polluted with stale cigarettes and oil. I believe Cincinnati can do better with the alleyways to make those unwanted spaces more accessible. The waterfronts in Cincinnati are polluted with waste and dirty water. If Haussmann and Burnham were around, I honestly do not believe they would approve of this. It will catch up to the residents if there isn’t a solution. Tori Walker-Gulley

Sit and watch the sunrise. Take a moment to enjoy what is in front of you before you tackle what lies ahead.
