Cities need a more human-centered urban development and art-based community engagement practices are an opportunity to make this happen. For my thesis research, I explored two gentrifying neighborhoods in Chicago and the community engagement practices which can fill gaps in the urban development process. The typical engagement in cities only involves the actual community during the design process - instead, we should take a cue from urban art movements and engagement community at all points of the process: before, after, during, and after a development project.
