The academic program at IBEI will need interesting case studies related to placemaking and urban transformation, especially when data can be provided that demonstrates impacts. However, as the program at IBEI is still in the planning stages and has not been formally launched yet, I would prefer that you contact me directly.

Eixos would love to be in touch with other professionals with experience improving downtown urban commercial areas, whether through placemaking, business improvement districts, or other measures. Also very interesting to Eixos would be others working on addressing these issues through data.

The redevelopment of Roberto Clemente State Park in the Bronx, New York. Following severe flooding from Hurricane Sandy in 2012, we used reimagined this outdated, overly urban park. One aspect was an effort to connect the very poor, adjacent community to nature by inviting the Harlem River into the park. The 1,000 m2 "Intertidal Area" is a constructed wetland that is designed to clean water from the river, create habitat for marine and terrestrial species, provide flood protection for the park, and create opportunities for environmental education of local residents.
