Radiant Riverdale was created in collaboration with Master of City Design and Master of Urban Planning and Policy students at UIC who worked with researchers and industry professionals to explore planning and design solutions for the future of Riverdale. Students also collaborated with the Riverdale Community Land Trust, Greenprint Partners and Openlands, as well as design partners – Design Workshop and SOM.
The studio is generously supported by the UIC Institute for Policy and Civic Engagement and the new UIC Center for Climate and Health Equity (CECHE).
