DescriptionUrban, post-industrial landscapes across the United States are in desperate need of reimagining. The existence of hundreds of thousands of brownfields around the country, many abandoned and dilapidated, presents an opportunity for repurposing parts of our most culturally significant cities for exciting new uses. This thesis looks at how landscape design could be used to re-envision a brownfield site in Trenton, New Jersey. The design site, part of a larger, 100-acre greenway proposal known as Nottingham Way, is a 12-acre property which lies at the intersection where today’s East Trenton neighborhood was first conceived. The final product, Nottingham Way Ecological and Arts Center Park, is the product of a comprehensive design process which examined research and data through five criteria lenses. Once collected, the information was layered together and critically analyzed to highlight useful patterns and relationships. After the narrative of site and neighborhood was clear, design solutions to the site’s various challenges were developed. The result is a model for remediated and revitalized landscape transitioned into a public space. Designed as a local and regional park, it also serves as an ecological sanctuary and artist hub, with opportunities for passive recreation and trail connections to the surrounding greenway systems.
