Research with Gehl Institute Yields Powerful Insights

During Summer 2017, NDC was selected to participate in the Gehl Institute’s Open Call: Proposals for Public Life. We spent the summer delving into the research to explore the question, “How does programming impact social mixing in Baltimore’s public spaces?”

Take a deeper dive into the important insights from our research with the Gehl Institute.  Data (and poetry) strongly frame how space activation and cultural programming can make for more equitable places.
