The Walkability Enhancement Project focuses on transforming the River Avenue District of Pittsburgh into a neighborhood that supports the growth of the community through shared public spaces, job opportunities, increased walkability, and sustainable design.

The layout is centralized around the creation of a superblock from Chestnut St, S Canal Street, Warfield St, and River Ave. Inside this superblock is various mixed-use, commercial, retail/gastronomy, residential, and office buildings. These buildings help to create a self sustainable community with the new influx of jobs and housing opportunities. The new growth is driven with sustainable design in mind and is prevelant with the focus on how to capture stormwater onsite and retain it in order to decrease runoff and help with the site's ecological footprint. The superblock formation makes the site pedestrian oriented which will help to bring in a new influx of visitors to the site, and enhance the walkability through the main corridor.
