This week, the Minneapolis Downtown Improvement District (DID) recognized Joseph Favour, associate professor in practice for the Landscape Architecture department, for his work with Tom Oslund Associates on projects responsible for creating a greener downtown. The Greening and Public Realm Awards pay tribute to community greening champions in over a dozen categories, recognizing property owners, businesses, and community groups who have created and maintained public green spaces that enhance Minneapolis.


Favour's projects were awarded: "Best Parking Lot Greening" for a demonstration project to enhance an existing parking lot by removing paving and adding a mix of native and ornamental plantings; "Best Streetscape Greening" for a residential building with raised boulevard tree planters along Washington Avenue and Park Avenue; and "Best Restoration" for work on a redesigned plaza for the Minneapolis Community and Technical College.
