Urban Design Associates, prepared a plan for the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County to locate two new sports stadiums, to generate maximum economic benefit for the downtown and to revitalize the central Ohio River riverfront. During a charrette and a series of public forums, urban design principles were developed to guide future redevelopment and growth. The design creates a new riverfront park and includes the National Underground Railroad Museum, a mixed-use district (now under construction), a transit center, and a restructured downsized urban highway. The riverfront (now complete) is restored as the “front door” of the city, once again a hub of activity and a place that connects people to the urban environment.
