When Birmingham’s aging downtown interstate bridges needed replacement, the challenge of transforming the dark, unsafe, and underutilized space under the bridges was accepted. An active, vibrant, welcoming public space was envisioned and a robust community engagement process provided direction on a range of potential programmatic elements. City Walk BHAM is a multi-faceted linear public space, that brings people together, improves connectivity, helps build community, and is truly where Birmingham connects. Attendees will be guided step-by-step through the project’s visualization, engagement, planning, design, and implementation.
