Cleveland is repositioning its future as a dual waterfront city.
Take a deep dive (pun intended!) into Cleveland’s river and lakefront development and lend your experience and expertise to plans and projects that re-imagine our city’s shore-core-shore relationship.
The second event of “From Cleveland to Coastland” features a Downtown Cleveland design-your-own adventure discovery tour* followed hosted by local professional chapters of AIA, APA, ASLA, ULI and coordinated by the Greater Cleveland Partnership.
Don't delay, registration closes on 6/23 at noon.
In Fall 2024, we set the groundwork for a “design-your-own adventure” walking tour of Downtown Cleveland in June 2025, where small groups of multi-disciplinary professionals will explore, document, discuss and make recommendations for enhanced connections, wayfinding and placemaking in our collective vision to remake Cleveland as “Coastland”! We are thrilled to be one of the first events partnered with the new North Coast Yard on Cleveland’s downtown lakefront. Join us on June 26th and get exclusive access to the space and the people who made it happen.
All “Coastland” events enable collaboration, encourage discourse and feedback between design professionals and civic decision-makers as well as enhance cross-sector networking across members of our professional design organizations, student chapters and allied businesses.
Make new industry connections! Experience Cleveland’s newest outdoor space at the North Coast Yard! Win prizes! All are welcome to register with special pricing for students, under 35s and members of AIA, APA, ASLA and ULI!
