The Pruitt-Igoe Bee Sanctuary is a proposal for the City of St. Louis to transform the urban forest where the Pruitt-Igoe housing development once stood into a public space that cultivates community through urban agriculture and beekeeping. Drawing parallels between the depleting population of bees and shrinking cities, this interdisciplinary project aims to reignite the conversation about urban abandonment and creative strategies for addressing it.
