A Global Phenomenon

The BeltLine [Atlanta, GA] - By far the biggest undertaking, the BeltLine encircles all of Atlanta in a complex network of footpaths, public transit and plenty of parks.

The Bloomingdale Trail [Chicago, IL] - The most similar to the Reading Viaduct in size and vision, the Chicago version is also getting the people involved through a sponsored exhibition of community members’ photographs of the site.

Madrid Río [Madrid, Spain] - A riverside maze of parks and walkways spanning six distinct neighborhoods, Spain’s take on the project also includes facilities for everything from tennis to BMX.

Midtown Greenway [Minneapolis, MN] - The protected, bike-friendly alter ego of the midwestern city’s main drags.

Promenade Plantée [Paris, France] - The original repurposed railroad, this flower–filled cultural gem in the 12th arrondissement will look familiar to anyone who’s seen "Before Sunset."
