Alleys as the new alternative
Before looking at particular recommendations for DC’s alleys, I want to continue the post on “Alley Potentials” to go beyond DC and look at other cities and examples.
More images than writing, I hope this post provides some eye candy and inspiration for what these alley spaces and structures can become… inspiration that I am now taking to transform, reintegrate and optimize Washington DC’s alleys- a project I am calling Re-act DC.
Stay tuned for a following post on Re-act DC and specific potentials for Washington’s alleys.
