Abstract

The view from Libby Hill Park in Richmond's Church Hill neighborhood has been identified as an endangered view, and the possibility of new development changing this view has increased in recent years. This plan explores what this view means to the identity of the neighborhood and the city and identifies ways to preserve the view while promoting development. The plan also identifies ways to make the park more accessible and open to all residents to increase its value to the city of Richmond, VA.
