Not long ago, the periphery of downtown Baltimore was marked by tower-in-the-park public housing. The HOPE VI program, introduced by HUD in 1992, enabled the redevelopment of these failed experiments into human-scaled, mixed-income neighborhoods. The then-fledgling New Urbanist movement exerted an outsized influence on the HOPE VI program and on the built environment of central Baltimore.
The tour will be led by professionals from Torti Gallas & Partners, the firm that designed three of the HOPE VI projects on the program (and many more elsewhere). CNU-DC is excited to extend its programming to Baltimore, and we hope you will jump on this exciting opportunity to explore and learn about HOPE VI from the experts.
- A bus will available for transport to and from DC's Union Station, and between the four project sites (see ticket prices)
- Baltimore meeting location: Mary Mother Lange Catholic School (200 N Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Baltimore, MD) at 10:15 am.
The tour will culminate with an opportunity to buy lunch at Attman's Delicatessen, a classic Jewish deli east of downtown.
