Description
Linear landscapes—streets, utility corridors, trail systems, waterfronts—are some of the hardest spaces to design but often have the most impact on community and ecological health and well-being. Panelists will share how framing linear landscapes through curation, choreography, and culture yields exceptional design solutions for these spaces.

Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes:
1. Distinguish between elements of continuity that unify a linear landscape at a macro scale and elements of distinction that honor the unique characteristics of each micro-environment along a corridor.
2. Recognize ways that linear landscapes can create new relationships and common ground between stakeholders that are spatially and culturally distinct.
3. Understand how spaces and places are experienced differently by users depending on their mode of movement.
4. Learn about keeping the design vision alive while navigating complex multi-jurisdictional and inter-agency contexts that frequently occur as linear landscapes cut across boundaries.
