This two-hour webinar introduces the urban design concept of corridor planning which focuses on the design concepts of “linkage”, “movement”, and “place-making”. Corridors are pathways that link or connect places with economic, cultural, natural, or historic features while allowing movement through both transportation infrastructure and/or natural infrastructure. This webinar explores the various scales (regional to highly local) and design intent of corridor planning. The webinar also introduces new corridor urbanism practices that introduce multi-modal mobility options and socio-economic considerations focused to improve equitable access.
