Associate Professor, Landscape Architecture
Mallika Bose, Ph.D., was awarded a grant to engage graduate students in a community-driven design process to lay the foundation for a garden on the grounds of a Philadelphia public high school. The graduate students worked with the school’s teachers and students and a local grassroots organization to facilitate interactive sessions, distribute a survey, and create a resource booklet containing activities and information about community design. The garden now serves as a neighborhood gathering space for launching campaigns to improve conditions in Philadelphia public schools and neighborhoods.
Awarded: 2016–2017
