    Abstract
    One of the major challenges of the 21st century is the rapid growth of many cities
    and the decline of others.
    There are many cities like Cleveland which were built to serve a far greater population
    than currently inhabits the city. Infrastructure built for 800,000 now services
    400,000 leaving creating surplus capacity and derelict spaces; urban voids which
    have fallen into disuse. Manufacturing and shipping industries occupy valuable
    waterfront space, highways create rifts and large civic public spaces designed
    with the best of intentions create vacuums.
    Cleveland is not dealing with the issue of growth but with transformation; in its
    remaking as a place of mixed communities and neighborhoods. Understanding
    the city spatially is the first part of an exploration into devising interventions that
    can utilize existing infrastructure, reclaim and re-purpose spaces to generate new
    uses and new vitality. This thesis is concerned with identifying an opportunity and
    proposing a programmatic and spatial transformation.
