Southside Neighborhood Plan

Birmingham, Alabama

Client

Housing Authority of the Birmingham District

Description

Southtown Court is uniquely situated within the Southside Neighborhood and adjacent to the Five Points South Neighborhood in Birmingham, Alabama. Southside/Five Points South are some of the city’s fastest growing urban neighborhoods, and home to a number of large institutional and commercial anchors including the University of Alabama at Birmingham and its medical campus (the state’s largest
employer), St. Vincent’s Birmingham Medical Campus, and Five Points South, a popular shopping and restaurant destination within the City. The planning process has captured the vision of a wide cross-section of residents and stakeholders, and is turning their goals into achievable projects and programs. Planning is being driven by community assets, responding to local needs, with the intent to lead to
visible positive improvements and results. Good planning requires personal commitment. Meetings, strategy sessions and inclusion of
neighborhood residents, churches, schools, business leaders and other stakeholders have been critical to make sure the Plan is one
that the entire community can embrace.
