Civic Design & Inspired Infrastructure: Opportunity Corridor

Friday, October 30th, 2009 - 9:00am to 12:00pm

Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs Atrium
Cleveland State University
Glickman-Miller Hall
1717 Euclid Avenue
Cleveland, OH 44115

Civic Design & Inspired Infrastructure: Opportunity Corridor will examine how engineering requirements and economic development objectives can be combined with the aspirations of community stakeholders in a collaborative planning effort that succeeds on many levels. Panelists will comment on why interdisciplinary partnerships in the early planning stages and high aesthetic standards make a difference.

Major investments in bridges, highways and railroads can be driven primarily by engineering requirements, or the design process for infrastructure projects can be expanded to enhance community development, improve the natural environment, stitch together fragmented urban landscapes and add beauty to the civic realm. This symposium will explore how Cleveland can optimize the planning and design opportunity created by the aptly named Opportunity Corridor.

Panelists are:

• Moderator, Steven Litt, The Plain Dealer
• Alexandros Washburn, Director of Urban Design, New York City Planning Department
• Mark Robbins, Dean of the School of Architecture at Syracuse University
• Tom Murphy, Former Mayor of Pittsburgh & Fellow at the Urban Land Institute
• Marie Kittredge, Executive Director, Slavic Village Development
• Terri Hamilton Brown, Project Director, Opportunity Corridor
