Highways everywhere connect our communities but also create critical divides. This pervasive infrastructure is continuously maintained, rebuilt and expanded, yet thoughtful dialogue on highway impacts and detriments has not occurred. This Mission Zero¨ Corridor Blueprints project examines possible reinvention for the future of highways to have only positive impacts on our communities and our environments.

The Georgia ConservancyÕs Blueprints for Successful Communities program, in partnership with faculty and graduate students in the School of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a studio instruction team from Perkins+Will in Atlanta, examined the potential that may exist to transform highway corridors to roadways that have far less degrading environmental impacts. This Georgia Conservancy-sponsored Blueprints study focuses on the Ray C. Anderson Memorial Highway, from exits 2 to 18 on Interstate 85 in West Georgia.
