This Interdisciplinary Qualifying Project, Urban Planning, was conducted in the Highland Street neighborhood, which has been in a state of decline over the past several years. Problems were identified within the community, data was collected through fieldwork and Worcester's Geographic Information System database was expanded. Analyses were performed from this data to suggest recommendations to Worcester Community Housing Resources for improvements to be made within the area. Recommendations addressed parking, housing stock, and police presence.
