ROSA PARKS SQUARE Macon, Georgia
Alex Morrison Macon-Bibb County Urban Development Authority (478) 803-2402 Although of high cultural and civic important to the citizens of Macon, Rosa Parks Square today stands as an underutilized and underappreciate urban landscape. HGOR is leading a diverse set of stakeholders in a process to define significant improvements and creation of place while maintaining the appropriate level of decorum and respect desired by all. Clear understanding of concerns and goals established through both dialogue and a listening ear led to an agreed-to set of metrics for concept evaluation, design direction and development. The process led to a strong, common vocabulary and consensus amongst all stakeholders.
