Perspectives | DESIGNING WITH THE RIVER

We envision a Saint Paul that is The River Capital, where we bring the river back to the center of our public life and live not just by—but with—the river. Forward thinking design is central to that vision.

Join us as we engage with and are inspired by world-renowned designers. Learn about their perspectives, approaches and experiences and how they connect to and inform the Great River Passage project goals.
