We used to be good at building great streets. What changed? Today, when we build shops and offices, they rarely add up to a good place, writes Tristan Cleveland, PhD. Many urban areas are defined by empty grass and asphalt. These streets discourage people from walking or socializing, with terrible consequences for sustainability, health, and happiness. How do we fix this problem? Our latest story outlines how to make great street design everyone's responsibility.

We recently completed our Atlanta-based project, The Boulevard at Grant Park, and there are so many soulful details that brought this to life. Like all our projects, The Boulevard’s design was built on a foundation derived from our market study. Here’s what we found: Grant Park is a vibrant neighborhood, home to many young professionals and active individuals who commute to downtown or midtown for work. 

Many are residents without school-age children who take pride in their neighborhood and enjoy a refined residential lifestyle. Additionally, dog owners also make up a large portion of this group, enjoying the nearby parks and trails.

Why is this information important to our process? 

This step ensures our design and programming meet the needs of its residents, anchoring the design throughout each project phase.   We believe that vibrant communities are built on a foundation of human-centric design, and there's nothing more satisfying than seeing our spaces being lived in well. #ciddesigngroup #marketstudy #interiordesignfirm #multifamily #hospitality #residentialdesign

Ever spotted those unofficial trails cutting across grassy patches on your walks? They’re called desire lines - paths people naturally create as the shortest route, bypassing the designed walkways. Urban planners use these insights for designing more efficient, user-friendly spaces. We recently transformed a vacant lot in Detroit where locals had carved a path from the sidewalk to the alley. We then formalized this desire line with a gravel path, improving accessibility for the community. By recognizing these organic routes, cities can create spaces that genuinely align with how people move and interact. Have you noticed or walk through desire lines in your neighborhood?

Let’s Talk Downtown ! When I imagine a “Downtown.” - I see nice clean, wide sidewalks full of people - I see well cared for buildings with community art and murals - I see colourful plantings in flower boxes and hanging baskets, and ample shade trees - I see benches where people can sit and chat while having a snack - I see bike lanes and pedestrian only streets - I see open doors and merchandise on the spacious sidewalks - I see no cars parked along the side where decorative planters separate the roadway from all the traffic - In some spots I see sidewalk patios where folks can have a meal and a beverage Downtowns should be a place for people first and not seen as a storage space for automobiles. We spend so much time focused on parking spaces in front of stores. Downtowns should be colourful and comfortable spaces to walk and shop and meet friends and neighbours. A professional parking strategist once told me that parking should be located in central locations away from store fronts either behind or in nearby bulk parking areas. I wonder what your vision of “Downtown” looks like ? Placemaking is about creating inviting spaces for people not cars. Let’s reimagine our Downtowns.

HOW IS BEING DOWNTOWN LIKE A LUSCIOUS KISS? Sure, I'm hyping up downtown again. But where else do you find streets lined with giant, juicy lip-seats like this? Downtown isn't your cookie-cutter scene—it's offbeat, unexpected, and downright theatrical. It's where "absurdity" is on full display, keeping us on our toes. Novelty? You betcha. Because let's face it, there's nothing novel about another Zoom call from our kitchen tables. Pictured here is a smooch of pure, over-the-top delight. Shoutout to Miss Ricky's on Wabash for keeping it funky. __________ Torque Marketing Real Estate Marketing TORQUE is a real estate marketing agency bringing insight and awareness to the emergence of human experience, properties and the community. www.torquelaunch.com #chicagorealestate #office #commercialrealestate #architecture #realestate #realestateindustry #marketingagency #realestatemarketing #marketingagency 

Consider which is more important to you: having a tightly-knit community or having a big yard? According to HouseLogic, deciding factors generally include kids and their ages, pets, and proximity to a park. In fact, having a nearby park can add at least 8% to a community's value.
