Cleveland is repositioning its future as a dual waterfront city. Take a deep dive (pun intended!) as we reflect on the past, present, and future visions to transform our downtown into “Coastland”.
For over a year, the local chapters of the American Institute of Architects, American Planning Association, American Society of Landscape Architects, and the Urban Land Institute (AIA, APA, ASLA and ULI) have collaborated on a topic of mutual interest and significance: our waterfronts and their connections to downtown. In summer 2025, multi-disciplinary professionals from these organizations hosted “From Cleveland to Coastland” featuring a ‘design your own adventure’ exploration of Cleveland’s downtown, lakefront, and riverfront developments.
Panelists from the Urban Land Institute, Greater Cleveland Partnership, and RDL Architects will discuss the results of the adventurers’ collective experiences and expertise, offer insights on placemaking, architecture, and real estate development, and share impactful ways to transform connectivity between the shores and core.
Be sure to join the design charrette before and after the panel discussion! AIA, APA, ASLA, and ULI will solicit feedback from the audience to foster collaboration, encourage dialogue between professionals and civic leaders, and strengthen networks with the public across disciplines and allied industries.
