South Central Waterfront Vision Framework Plan, Austin, TX
As lead urban designers, McCann Adams Studio supported the City’s efforts to re-imagine this underutilized district on the southern shore of Lady Bird Lake. Prepared in collaboration with EcoNorthwest and Asakura Robinson, the Plan calls for a mixed-use district organized around an interconnected network of public open spaces and green streets. In order to incentivize orderly redevelopment of the many private properties, the Plan calls for increased density in consideration of the significant new open space, particularly along the waterfront. The Plan was adopted by City Council as an amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, known as Imagine Austin.
