Registration is still open for tomorrow's AIAU course- Revitalizing Urban Infrastructure: Transforming Underutilized Transportation Corridors into Sustainable and Vibrant Public Spaces
Wednesday, April 16, 2025 | 2:00-3:00pm ET
This course takes a behind-the-scenes look at two groundbreaking projects-City Walk BAHM in Birmingham, AL, and The Underline in Miami-Dade County, FL. Both projects were designed to reimagine the vacant land under transportation corridors, considered a physical barrier between communities, into dynamic public spaces.
Through these two case studies, you'll gain insights into public-private partnership models, funding strategies, and community-driven and design approaches that make these projects possible. Examine how creative design solutions have transformed challenging spaces into multi-modal transportation corridors, resilient linear parks, and vibrant community destinations-improving neighborhood connections, safety, mobility, public health, sustainability, and innovation. Learn more about how the focus on health, safety, and welfare of the end users informed the design process: from the experience of the urban pedestrian to the cyclist commuter. In addition, you'll learn about post-occupancy activation, including public programming, art initiatives, and revenue generating opportunities that ensure long-term success.
