The City Infrastructure Project

A vision for the future of city landscapes

"Master plans," "comprehensive plans," "city plans"—it seems like every few years there's another, and both their vision and execution are key to reshaping our city toward a post-industrial future. But where to start? The many plans of old, as well as their successes and failures, give us some clarity for the road ahead. That's why Midstory is kicking off The City Infrastructure Project, aimed at understanding our city's landscape through research and design to push our city toward a brighter future. The Project kicks off with a series on comprehensive planning in Toledo—its past, present and future.
