INDEX Studio: CLExHAV Report: Comparative Visions for Cleveland, Ohio + Havana, Cuba

By David Jurca

The INDEX Studio report examines the relationships between two cities-Cleveland, Ohio and Havana, Cuba. The 15-week studio took place in the spring of 2016 at Kent State University's Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative (CUDC). By comparing these very different urban contexts, the studio provided new insights into familiar places and a better understanding of the challenges facing global cities.Twelve graduate students generated proposals for a waterfront site in each of the two cities. The Cleveland site is the now-defunct Lakeshore Coal Plant, a monumental structure on a 60 acre site along the city's eastern lakefront. The Havana counterpart is the Nico-Lopez Oil Refinery, a 500 acre facility still functioning as a refinery on the southeastern banks of Havana Bay.
