Public realm is simply the space between buildings, that is accessible to the public. This space consists of everyday things such as sidewalks, street trees, to critical neighborhood staples like plazas and parks. The public realm is the space that connects us and serves as the stage for a variety of activities and programs. Some public space is meant to be used and some public space is reinterpreted by visitors and community members. How we invest in public space reflects how we seek to foster connections between one another, and so this plan seeks to invigorate the public realm of the district so as to honor and reflect the key institutions that compose it.
