URBAN REDEVELOPMENT VIA SPORTS ARENA -- CASE STUDY -- PART 2


THE ARENA DISTRICT: CONNECTIVITY IS KEY TO 
COLUMBUS’ DOWNTOWN URBAN DEVELOPMENT


The master-planned Arena District project is all about connections:

§  Its grid pattern of streets connects with the surrounding neighborhoods that have arts, shopping, entertainment and more urban development on the way.

§  Its wide sidewalks and urban architecture connects with human beings, because they enjoy the charm of a traditional neighborhood.

§  Its picturesque urban park connects the grand public spaces with the Scioto Riverfront, a once overlooked asset that now hosts citywide events and festivals.

§  Its award-winning arena connects Ohio’s largest city with major league sports and the world’s leading entertainers.

§  Its compact development connects Columbus with its future – where people can live, work and play downtown.

Case Study continues tomorrow -- June 13
