Think Like A City: A Framework Plan for Remaking Places is a collaborative process between graduate students in the Master of City Design and Master of Urban Planning and Policy programs at UIC.
These students worked with the Illinois Medical District Commission, Design Workshop, the UIC Institute for Policy and Civic Engagement, and Tri-Taylor residents and community members to develop concepts, strategies, and dialogue.
Designers and Planners. Together.
