The Center for Active Design has recognized the Greenbridge Master Plan as a winner in its first-ever Excellence Award competition. This competition highlights projects across the nation that promote healthy physical activity through the design of buildings, streets and neighborhoods. The awards recognize the key role that design plays in addressing obesity and chronic disease, with each winning project exemplifying the implementation of Active Design guidelines.
Greenbridge is a 100-acre HOPE VI community development that replaced existing 1940's era housing with a varied mix of housing types and open spaces. The end result is a culturally diverse neighborhood with services at its heart and an innovative network of open spaces, parks, pocket parks and trails that encourage exploration. The Greenbridge Master Plan represents a truly walkable community that encourages healthy activities and eschews car dependency.
