THE LIVING CANAL
The Living Canal is a sustainable and transformative initiative designed to revolutionize urban streetscapes by prioritizing green stormwater mitigation, desert adaptive planting, and historical significance. By reimagining traditional road structures, the project breaks up roads to create a network of interconnected bike and walking paths, promoting easy transportation.
Our project breathes life into the buried canal beneath Cody Dr, celebrating its rich history while honoring water’s pivotal role in shaping South Central Phoenix. Our mission is to transform this buried canal into a connected living lifeline, creating shaded corridors that seamlessly weave through the community. This revitalization not only pays homage to the past but also fosters community connectivity.
