  • University Neighborhood Plan Summary
    UNIVERSITY NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN SUMMARY Description. The University neighborhood encompasses two of Cleveland’s most well known places, University Circle and Little Italy. University Circle came into being in the 1880s with the donation of 63 acres of wooded parkland to the City by financier Jeptha Wade, one of the creators of Western Union. “Little Italy.” was established in the late 1800s by Italian immigrants who settled there for lucrative employment in the nearby marble works. The dense housing in Little Italy represents the largest residential area in the neighborhood. There are a few other isolated streets of residential and student housing located in the neighborhood. The majority of the land in the neighborhood is either institutional use or park land. Assets. University is home to many institutions that are not only assets to the neighborhood but the region as well. Among the assets in the neighborhood are: • educational institutions like Case Western Reserve University, the Cleveland Institute of Art, the Cleveland Institute of Music, the Cleveland Music School Settlement, John Hay High School and the Arts Magnet School • health institutions the University Hospitals and the Veterans Hospital • cultural attractions such as the Cleveland Museum of Art, Severance Hall, the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, the Children’s Museum and the Cleveland Botanical Gardens • natural features such as Doan Brook and the hillside to the “Heights” • open spaces such as Wade Park, Ambler Park and Lakeview Cemetery

  • Cleveland, Ohio
    RED FIELDS TO green fields Parks Transform Neighborhoods and Waterfronts Introduction This booklet outlines a visionary concept to revitalize the uniquely positioned City of Cleveland, Ohio. Once a manufacturing center, Cleveland has diversified its infrastructure and is now considered an exemplar for downtown revitalization, urban renaissance, and public-private partnerships. Cleveland’s population peaked over sixty years ago in the height of industry, and populations have subsequently decreased with the decline of heavy manufacturing. The City faces continuing challenges from concentrated poverty in some neighborhoods and a market flooded with vacant properties, low property values, and underutilized commercial corridors. The current real estate crisis and flood of foreclosed properties threatens the stability of Cleveland’s neighborhoods. This crisis also offers the City an opportunity to incorporate greening into community development by transforming derelict, vacant and foreclosed properties into green spaces that will serve as recreational and social hubs. Transforming these spaces from eyesores into assets will revitalize a community constructed through a solid work ethic. By focusing new investment in areas of Cleveland characterized by underutilized commercial land and foreclosed residential property, public spaces can be developed, jobs created, land values increased, and significant economic development stimulated. In the Cleveland metropolitan area, this can be done by turning Red Fields to Green Fields. Vacant land in Cleveland has the untapped potential to revitalize the State while creating jobs. Parks Transform Neighborhoods & Waterfronts 3 Problem #1: The current real estate crisis and flood of foreclosed properties threatens the stability of Cleveland’s neighborhoods. The Status of Cleveland’s Real Estate Cleveland’s Population Decline The foreclosure crisis in Ohio is quite pronounced.

  • The Black Freedom Movement and Community Planning in Urban Parks in Cleveland, Ohio, 1945-1977
    THE BLACK FREEDOM MOVEMENT AND COMMUNITY PLANNING IN URBAN PARKS IN CLEVELAND, OHIO, 1945-1977 BY STEPHANIE L. SEAWELL DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Clarence Lang, Chair Professor Jim Barrett Professor Adrian Burgos Associate Professor Sundiata Cha-Jua Associate Professor Kathy Oberdeck ii Abstract African American residents of Cleveland, Ohio made significant contributions to their city’s public recreation landscape during the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements. Public parks were important urban spaces—serving as central gathering spots for surrounding neighborhoods and unifying symbols of community identity. When access to these spaces was denied or limited along lines of race, gender, sexuality, or class, parks became tangible locations of exclusion, physical manifestations of the often invisible but understood fault lines of power that fractured, and continues to fracture, urban landscapes. In Cleveland, black activists challenged these fault lines through organizing protests, developing alternative community-run recreation spaces, and demanding more parks and playgrounds in their neighborhoods. This dissertation considers five recreation spaces in Cleveland—a neighborhood park, a swimming pool, a cultural garden, a playground, and a community-run recreation center—in order to make three important interventions into the scholarship on black urban Midwest communities and postwar African American freedom struggles. First, this dissertation takes up spatial analysis of black activism for improved public recreation opportunities, and argues this activism was an important, if often understudied, component of broader Black Freedom Movement campaigns in the urban north.
