CITY WALK is a network of connected urban landscape spaces enhancing the everyday life of the city. The 2014 landscape architecture study for this 7.8 mile route culminated seven years of advocacy to incorporate CITY WALK into municipal and neighborhood planning, which is has successfully accomplished. Two principles guide the ambition of CITY WALK: connect eight Providence neighborhoods via a network of pedestrian spaces/bicycle routes and improve equitable access to urban assets.
