South Side Stories - Update

Terreform is gearing up for a trip to Chicago next month to charrette with community partners, document sites and circumstances, and finalize our proposal for mobilizing positive changes on the South Side. Our goal is to produce a series of proposals that can channel the great history, energy, and creativity of the communities on the South Side and leverage the huge impetus that the Obama Presidential Center promises to bring. Nonetheless, as concerns mount over the impacts the Center will have on neighborhood economic development, transportation, and open space among others, the time is imminent for alternative visions.  

Introducing New Terreform Team Member Amy Vogel

Amy Vogel is a sophomore at MIT studying Civil and Environmental Engineering. She is interning at Terreform in January, during MIT’s 4-week Independent Activity Period through the Externship Program, a program that matches students with alumni mentors at workplaces anywhere in the world. Amy will be launching the energy volume of the New York City (Steady) State project, which will examine NYC’s potential to be self-sufficient in energy.

Amy’s research interests include urban design, sustainability, and transportation systems. She is excited to learn about and work on Terreform’s unique strategies in modern urban design.
