Housing developments, or projects as they used to be called, were built in the post-war period and the old boxy, brick construction style hasn't aged very well. Many are being renovated into town-house neighborhoods, Orchard Gardens and Mission Main (previously Orchard Park and Mission Hill projects) are two good examples.

Franklin Hill development, laid out around a large, barren central courtyard, is overdue for change. Local photographer Atyia has documented the first step in the process.
