Notes de l'éditeur
- Session presentation by Bruce Chamberlain at Greater&Greener2015, An International Urban Parks Conference in San Francisco, CA. My name is Bruce Chamberlain, a landscape architect and urban designer for more than 25 years. I am currently the Park Fellow with the Minneapolis Parks Foundation and formerly the Assistant Superintendent for Planning with the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board and Vice President of Hoisington Koegler Group, a Minneapolis urban design practice.
- Successful cities have powerful, form-giving characteristics that, through time, establish their identity, their experience, and sometimes, their fortunes.
- In Minneapolis, the linear park system called the Grand Rounds gave form to the city’s original development pattern 130 years ago and endures today as the primary experiential identity of the city.
- The Grand Rounds encompasses and interconnects the city’s greatest natural assets – seven major lakes, five golf courses, Minnehaha Creek, and most of the city’s stretch of Mississippi River.
- It includes 50 miles of interconnected parkways and trails, weaving together 7,000 acres of parkland and many recreational attractions It drives over 15 million annual park visits It has contributed to recent national rankings like: Top park system (TPL) Best bike city (Bicycling) Top-10 fittest city (Men’s Health) Most playful city (Sperling’s Best Places) Top-3 greenest city (Travel + Leisure) Healthiest city (Forbes) In its breadth and influence on the life of a city, the Minneapolis Grand Rounds is unique in America.

- However, there is a critical segment of the Grand Rounds that has proven elusive: the Mississippi River as it travels through the northern half of the city Industrial past Working class Little public access None of those magical destinations that exist elsewhere in the city Like many working rivers, in a time of land use transition

- So the MPRB did what it’s done a handful of other times in its 130-year history – it launched a bold, generational initiative Called RiverFirst
- In public/private partnership To transform the upper river from private to public land To create compelling, interconnected riverfront parks To leverage parks as catalysts for redevelopment To create innovative development and operating models
- Power of partnership between MPRB & Minneapolis Parks Foundation
- Linkage between Minneapolis’ RiverFirst & Saint Paul’s Great River Passage 25 miles of continuous public riverfront ecological and trail connectivity
- river recreation as competitive signature for Twin Cities
