Chattanooga Art Promenade
Connecting the city with art
River City Company and the Lyndhurst Foundation commissioned a team including Urban Design Associates and W.M. Whitaker and Associates to prepare an arts district plan for downtown Chattanooga’s riverfront area. The plan proposes a pedestrian art promenade that connects the Hunter Art Museum with the Aquarium and Chattanooga Green and new residential and institutional development on key parcels in the downtown. The plan defines three character zones along the walk and provides a creative framework for integrating art into the landscape. Development guidelines are provided for new performing arts theaters flanking a cultural square at the foot of Broad Street and residential and hospitality development on the riverfront.
