Crown Heights Participatory Urbanism is a community-informed design proposal for public space located in the Crow Hill neighborhood of Crown Heights. The project was started by Manuel Avila as part of the Architect-in-Residence program at SUPERFRONT.
The purpose of the project is to provide a forum for the community to rethink residual spaces created by transportation infrastructure towards a new public space network.he project is founded on the idea of creating a common ground for residents, local community organizations, business owners, and governmental entities to discuss and initiate plural public spaces in the context of a diverse emergent community in Crown Heights.
