Physical Planning & Design Analysis Cincinnati, Camp Washington

Project Summary: A neighborhood analysis of Camp Washington was completed as part of a graduate planning course: Methods of Physical Planning & Design Analysis. Physical planning focuses on the spatial arrangement of human activities on the land along with the consequences of development patterns on the social and natural environment. Through this course, several physical planning methods were applied, including urban form, demographics, housing, density, land use, zoning, etc.

CAMP WASHINGTON a neighborhood shaped by CHANGE Historically established as one of Cincinnati’s prized industrial communities, Camp Washington was recognized by its cluster of meat packing and tool manufacturing facilities. In its prime, the neighborhood was a vibrant and compact mixed-use community with solid workforce housing and a bustling neighborhood business district. After years of deindustrialization, out-migration and urban decline, Camp Washington today is only a shell of its historic past. This poster highlights the major events that shaped the evolution of Camp Washington over time.
