NEIGHBORHOOD BEAUTIFICATION & ENGAGEMENT
Build Bronzeville invests in beautification of neighborhood spaces and engagement of residents because this is of critical importance in the revitalization process. Blighted spaces contribute to feelings of despair and hopelessness among residents, encourage poor behavior by all, and act as a deterrent to visits from patrons from outside the neighborhood.
Environmental improvements include initiatives for outdoor beautification like the Bronzeville Community Garden, located on the southeast corner of 51st and Calumet, 51st Street Trees, garden and bike paths, and the Wall of Peace and Love. In addition, the creation of functional green space in Green Line Farms and Greenhouse Box are sources for fresh, healthy foods for community residents and restaurant goers.

It takes a commitment from and collaboration between community members, the business sector, government municipalities, and charitable foundations to bring The Forum back to life.
