Cameron Square Site Plan
 While reconstituting a street network as a physical framework for a mixed-income neighborhood on the site of a deteriorated public housing, Oakwood Shores also carefully revives Chicago housing traditions such as the six-flat, shown here.

 This project redevelops land owned by the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) to replace troubled public housing buildings with a new mixed-income community. The site design reestablishes the street grid and alley system to restore the neighborhood back to its traditional character offering pedestrian-oriented streets. Parking is generally located at the rear of buildings, screened by structures and obscured from view. Clearly defined public and private spaces offer room for activity while reinforcing a sense of ownership and responsibility in taking care of the neighborhood. Two existing parks are now connected by Langley Boulevard when completed, drawing them into the neighborhood.
