Mitigating Inequity

This thesis establishes a design approach for Harlem Park and Sandtown-Winchester. One will understand the impacts and evolution of systemic racism in Baltimore. This thesis will show potential design interventions, their origins, and how they function. This work serves to shed light on the disparity between black communities and white communities, which in part falls on the designer. One will see the origins of inequity in Baltimore and how to help mitigate inequity in SWHP. This work aims to establish a different method of thinking for disadvantaged communities and establish the designer’s role in these communities.
