The second goal concerns urban design in which the Mid-South believes the city should focus on the characteristic development of the community giving the neighborhoods an image and a feeling of intention. (Mid-South Planning Commission 1993, 99) The plan feels the best means to do this is through creating open space with community in mind, reconfigure existing streets patterns if necessary, understand that buildings and open space together can create images of expression, both cultural and natural. The Mid-South suggests the city preserve notable landmarks of historical or architectural value to provide continuity to Bronzeville’s past. (Mid-South Planning Commission 1993, 99) The commission recommends the city use buildings on 35th St as a campus for tourists and residents as well as converting the major north-south corridors to their former boulevard design.

The third goal calls for economic development focusing on the chance for garnering self-sufficiency within the community. To do this the city must help maintain a favorable business climate in Bronzeville. To achieve this goal retail services must be integrated with other commercial and industrial activity, new manufacturing compatible with the design of the area must be created, and the opportunity for small business ownership must be enhanced.
