Salt Lake City, Utah: Activating Streetscapes

  • 200 South Main Street East Salt Lake City, UT, 84101 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

We all have a subconscious understanding of the quality of places from our experience, and know exactly what places are vibrant, engaging places. They are the places we want to return to again and again. But what makes some places successful and others not? An active street life is won or lost in just a few design details, which we will explore as we compare-and-contrast in downtown Salt Lake City. Join us as we discuss how urban designers shape the design of buildings and the public realm to engage people, build value, and make a place memorable.

Join us on a walking conversation with Seven Canyons Trust and the Jordan River Commission as we explore, reconnect, and reimagine our hidden waterways at the nearby Three Creeks convergence. 

We will walk the route where Red Butte, Emigration, and Parley's creeks flow underneath our urban infrastructure and into the convergence where they reach the confluence of the Jordan River. Here we will explore and reimagine the future of the site and the opportunities for it to become Three Creeks Park. 

This event is part of a national week of action run by the US Department of Arts and Culture(USDAC). The USDAC is the nation's newest people-powered department, founded on the truth that art and culture are our most powerful and under-tapped resources for social change. Radically inclusive, useful and sustainable, and vibrantly playful, the USDAC aims to spark a grassroots, creative change movement, engaging millions in performing and creating a world rooted in empathy, equity, and social imagination.
