A new campaign is calling on architects and city planners to pitch redevelopment ideas for the Rio Salado and communities surrounding it.
The Phoenix-metro chapter of the American Institute of Architects has partnered with Arizona State University and the late Sen. John McCain’s office to create a competition for redevelopment of the Salt River.
The competition is part of the “Rio Reimagined” project, a vision based on McCain’s idea to redevelop the banks and riverbed of the Salt River as an untapped economic resource.
