East Carolina University was awarded a $270,605 project grant from the National Science Foundation under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) to study community dynamics of public space management and abandonment. Over a three-year period ending July 2024, the University will examine how communities manage and respond to changes in the use and disuse of public spaces to better understand the social and economic impacts. Insights from this research could help inform public policy surrounding abandoned properties and community development initiatives.
