2022 ULI Hines Student Competition Finalist: "LINKUP OAKLAND" – Georgia Institute of Technology
February 22, 2022
Entry Title: LINKUP OAKLAND
Team Code: 2022-5122
Schools: Georgia Institute of Technology
Overview (Narrative Excerpt from Original Project Submission):
Fueled by Downtown Oakland’s long history of social inequities, racial injustice and the resultant fractured development, LINKUP OAKLAND strives to become a pilot intervention in reenforcing the dots [historically significant and culturally imbued sites for Downtown Oakland] and reestablishing the links for an equitable, inclusive and well-connected Oakland. We envision our dots to strengthen the links of historical importance, allow for cultural diversity, strive for ecological sustainability, and become an economic backbone for the whole of Oakland.
