Gathering Places Feasibility Study

                 

Gathering Places Feasibility Study

In November of 2021, the Common Council directed the Department of City Development and the Department of Public Works to conduct a feasibility study to identify locations that can be developed into neighborhood gathering places for economic development and cultural programming. This feasibility study highlights opportunities for growing Milwaukee’s network of gathering places and proposes specific strategies for how new gathering places can be used to advance city goals for increased equity, safety, health, and economic opportunity. The Study highlights examples of existing successful local projects as well as future projects that can increase the inventory neighborhood Gathering Places in Milwaukee. 

Types of Gathering Places proposed include:  

  • Private developments that serve as gathering places

  • Gathering places on public parks and public land

  • Repurposing public streets and rights-of-way as gathering spaces
