Description

A mostly abandoned railroad right-of-way. An abandoned railroad viaduct. Underutilized transit assets near a rail station. These all are examples of spaces that were brought to life through vision and ingenuity. The transformations range from a network of soccer fields to a hugely popular urban multimodal trail, from greenways that connect neighborhoods to re-envisioning transit stops. Hear about programs that have worked to activate underutilized places, reconnect communities and create more people-centric infrastructure. Get firsthand insights about what it takes to build support from the community, partner with public agencies and municipalities, and what comes after the place is activated.
