description: Architecture has the ability to mitigate social separation in thepublic realm. Many social groups and ministries in Roxbury have along history of being displaced and disempowered by negligence ofinfrastructure and raised property value as a result of gentrification. I propose that students and young people in the Roxbury-MadisonPark area have agency in reinstating cultural nodes throughcommunity activism and a system of mutual support. Bringing backcommunity core establishments to preserve the rich history andculture that makes up the urban fabric of Roxbury - historically thesecond largest economic centers in Boston.
