Case Studies

Communities across the country are reclaiming areas once lost due to the construction of highways and interstates.  The Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) highlights “Highways to Boulevards” that are transforming cities and rebuilding economies in cities through the United States.  This website provides additional resources and case studies of this in new era of accessible transportation for all.

During our first community meeting, we provided case studies about three communities – San Francisco, New Orleans, and Portland – that have or are experiencing conversations similar to ours here in Savannah.  Visit the links below to learn more.
