DVC Streetscape Redevelopment
Distrito Valle del Campestre, or DVC, is a community initiative that aims to carve out a safe, scenic, and sustainable pedestrian space for people who live and work in the San Pedro district. DVC had a plan with four goals:
– maintain residential character;
– enhance the connectivity of the street network;
– improve mobility and safety;
– increase public green space.
Hired to advance this vision with a landscape masterplan, Grain led a diverse team through over 200 hours of meetings, empowering stakeholders to shape their physical and social environments. Our plan called for pedestrian corridors to connect a fragmented city, calming traffic while creating a system of linked green spaces and defining a space between private and public. Over the course of the project, our team facilitated not only a change in landscape but a shift in the culture that encouraged both private landowners and public agencies to view the communal streetscape as a shared and valuable asset.
