The Better Block Project

The Better Block Project is an initiative that transforms underused or neglected neighborhoods into vibrant, walkable, and inviting communities. It typically involves temporary improvements like adding bike lanes, outdoor seating, landscaping, and improved lighting to demonstrate how thoughtful design can enhance safety, connectivity, and local businesses. The goal is to inspire communities and city officials to adopt permanent changes that foster walkability, social interaction, and economic growth, ultimately making neighborhoods more attractive and livable for residents and visitors alike.
