Ample Opportunity: A Community Dialogue
(download the report)
In In 1997, the NMR-GP team endeavored to generate an informed public
conversation regarding Nine Mile, a brownfield site in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
being developed into a mix of housing and public greenway. Brownfield
development is routinely the domain of engineers, economists and public
policy analysts who work to dissolve the brownfield "problem." Alternatively,
this artist-lead team regards brownfield development as opportunities
rather than problems. Considering brownfields as the legacy of
the industrial revolution, a cultural event that effectively privitized
America's urban rivers, streams and estuaries, the team approaches the
work as the cultural reclamation of public use, value and aesthetics.
