Music Hall enjoys a key geographic location

in the urban basin and will continue to

bene�t from this changing environment.

This location puts it in proximity to existing

and emerging vibrant arts and entertainment

districts. This linkage will only grow stronger

with the implementation of the connecting

Cincinnati Streetcar Line. Stable residential

areas exist that support Music Hall and

improved areas are planned and in progress

that will tangibly impact Washington Park itself.

C I N C I N N A T I ’ S G R E A T E S T C U LT U R A L T R E A S U R E

M U S I C H A L LThe proposed revitalization and future operations of Cincinnati’s famed Music

Hall will have a considerable impact on the Greater Cincinnati regional economy.

The �rst part of this project studies the economic impact of renovation

expenditures, anticipated operations of Music Hall in 2015, as well as the �scal

impacts generated from both. The operations impact is measured from the

projected operating expenditures of the four resident companies- Cincinnati

Ballet, Cincinnati Opera, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and May Festival.

The second part details the position of Music Hall as an in�uential anchor within

its urban context. The location of Music Hall is shown in relation to other arts

institutions and to the substantial investment in the area. Changing demographic

and social indicators are illustrated and discussed relative to Music Hall.

Connectivity is analyzed between Music Hall and the existing and proposed

arts, entertainment, and cultural clusters within the area. Finally Music Hall is

understood in relative terms to other arts organizations in attendance,

revenue, and employment measures.

As the Cit y ’s center resumes i ts posit ion as a

regional entertainment, arts, and cultural destination,

Music Hal l wi l l be able to take advantage of i ts

locat ion to draw vis i tors f rom other synergist ic ar ts

and enter ta inment venues.

Music Hall is nearly at the geographic center of an

axis of the arts within the basin which stretches from

the Freedom Center to Findlay Market, and from the

Cincinnati Museum Center to the Pendleton Arts

Center. Music Hall is also integral to the seemingly

scattered arts institutions in Over-the-Rhine.

Ultimately, relative employment, revenue, and attendance

�gures indicate that Music Hall participates in and

materially supports a creative economy. I ts role in the

vibrant cultural environment makes it a critical asset

for the city and region.

A R T S C O N N E C T I V I T YThe location of art and design related retail, design

studios, art support organizations like Arts Wave,

cultural venues like Findlay Market and other related

uses capitalize upon the proximity to Music Hall and the

all-encompassing urban fabric of arts and culture. Main

Street, with its eclectic arts and design cluster, is well

known and appreciated. The 12th Street and Vine Street

area is becoming a destination for theater and design arts.

The Washington Park district with the SCPA, venues in

Memorial Hall and Music Hall, as well as the forthcoming

programming of Washington Park for outdoor entertainment,

promises to make this area a hub of activity. The important

linkage between these clusters along 12th and 13th Streets

is very clear, and will credibly strengthen as each one draws

visitors that seek experiences among the others.

N I G H T L I F E C O N N E C T I V I T YNightime arts and entertainment are key urban attractions

for the region. The existance of arts and entertainment

venues, restaurants, and bars indicates that Music Hall

already has signi�cant linkages to nearby entertainment

areas. This is particularly true concerning the Gateway

district, centered at 12th and Vine, which boasts a very

popular cluster of restaurants. Again, the Main Street

arts and entertainment area with art galleries and bars is

relatively close along 12th and 13th Streets. It is reasonable

to envision that when Music Hall is hosting robust

nightime programming and Washington Park itself is the

site of active outdoor events, that it will form the

western anchor of this three cluster linkage.

In collaboration with the Community Design Center at the University of Cincinnati, Bridging Broadway has served as the primary conduit for community engagement to collect and synthesize the concerns and aspirations of center city residents and stakeholders. This study summarizes the outcomes from three Bridging Broadway Dialogues, conducted to engage the public in identifying concerns and opportunities (“Block Walk”), creating a vision plan for the area (“Visioning”), and developing strategies for implementation (“Implementation and Management”). Bridging Broadway also initiated the Pendleton Neighborhood Development Roundtable, to more directly engage the neighborhood’s key property owners and the Pendleton Neighborhood Council. The study also incorporates case studies from other US cities, and best practices in contemporary community development, urban design and public policy.

This project concerns the redevelopment of the Third St Corridor, one of

Dayton’s important radial streets. At one time, Third St was an important

commercial street connecting both sides of the city to the central business

district and anchoring stable residential neighborhoods. Today, the

Eastern part of the corridor (East Third) su�ers from signi�cant blight,

vacancy, and economic decline.

Natural ecologies of place not only play a major role in determining micro

climate and environmental systems, but also in enhancing the economic vitality

of a region. Understanding and curating these urban ecologies through a a

process of careful staging and laying, rather than using a rigid plan, will generate

overwhelmingly positive results. Adaptation and hybridization have shown

enormous bene�ts in attracting capital, as well as spurring economic growth.

This hybridization also produces a positive unity in communities that are

physically divided.

This urban design project will focus on reclaiming the riverfront trough a process

based ecological approach, one that supports an ecosystem that contains both

curated human activities and the riparian zone. Additionally, it will densify the

City's downtown core through the creation of 3 city blocks; this addition will

support more social interaction through the restriction of automobile usage, as

well as �exibly programming spaces. The design process will take part in the

stages of INITIATION, DENSIFICATION, REJUVENATION and EXTENSION to address

the complex urban ecology in the City of Covington, as well as the sub-region of

Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Furthermore, the riverfront park located in

Covington will complement the newly designed and currently under construction

riverfront park located in Cincinnati.

Patrons of Urbanism

Dream + Do

Cincinnati’s private and corporate philanthropists have provided extensive bene�ts for the city’s social, civic, economic, and physical infrastructure. �e January 5th panel explored innovative ways of supporting urban projects and how to maintain and increase these investments. A crowd of nearly 200 heard invited speakers Dave Abbott (�e Gund Foundation) Beth Gottfried (Fuel Cincinnati), H.C. Buck Nieho� (Harriet R. Williams Downey Fund), and Sean Parker (Ohio Government & Community Relations at P&G). Eric Avner of the Haile Foundation moderated the panel. Attendees of the event had the opportunity to submit a grant application of up to $2500 o�ered by Fuel Cincinnati.

�e AIA keynote lecture was given by Scott Bernhard, Director of the Tulane City Center at the Tulane University, Louisiana. �e presentation exposed the impacts of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans architecture and urbanism scene. Furthermore, Bernhard presented some projects by the Tulane City Center, a research and outreach program that intends to engage architecture students and community organizations in experimental architecture projects that serve as a showcase of new technologies and alternatives for revitalizing New Orleans.

Into the Streets

Our Region Is Not Stacking Up

Keep Cincinnati Beautiful organized a cleanup drive for Short Vine in Corryville with University of Cincinnati Cincinnatus volunteers on Saturday, the 2nd of October. �e students were seen in their red volunteer t-shirts cleaning up the neighborhood around Short Vine and also spreading security awareness by surveying parked cars and leaving �yers with the cars that alerted owners of security hazards such as unlocked doors and valuables. �e students gathered a�erward with Linda Holterho� of Keep Cincinnati Beautiful at the Nieho� Urban Studio for a short summary of what they had achieved in course of the morning and the signi�cance of it. �e event was immediately followed by the unveiling of the Eco-Art Walk on Short Vine organized by Future Blooms, also a Keep Cincinnati Beautiful enterprise.

Vision 2015 and Agenda 360, Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky’s strategic community plans to transform our region, unveiled a report at the Studio that reveals challenges for every part of our metropolitan area. �is analysis is a fact -based, fact-driven comparison of our community against eleven other areas with which we compete for companies, jobs and residents. �is report provides reliable information for all community leaders in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky that will allow us to make better policy decisionsand chart regional progress over time.
