Louisville is a city of bridges. San Antonio’s riverwalk is world renowned. Seattle has water planes and salmon-jumping locks. New Orleans has airboats. Baltimore has sophisticated floating wetlands. There are so many other communities with impressive boardwalks and ferries to local islands. We could go on and on, but it’s this water-focused infrastructure that creates unique community identities. The concept begs to ask, what is Nashville’s unique riverfront identity? 

During PechaKucha Vol. 49: Bridges, Barges, and Boats, presenters will share stories, projects, and dreams for how Nashville can set itself apart on, over and around the water.
