Cpted And The City: The Impact Of Privately Owned Public Spaces On Crime In Manhattan, Julia Von Ferber

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Executive Summary

Parent-child community events like father-daughter dances are a celebrated tradition in many communities.

Contemporary U.S. society is made up of families that come in diverse forms and …

Park Equity Modeling: A Case Study Of Asheville, North Carolina, Anisa Young

All Theses

We note that platforms currently exist to identify the geographical areas where residents lack sufficient access to parks. However, these platforms do not yet …
