Our Urban Exploration trip is a one-day field trip is offered to Supporter and Sponsor level members of the Partnership to tour urban projects in other cities that can provide lessons for development in St. Petersburg. Previously, we have visited cities including Miami and Atlanta. In 2024, we visited Nashville in November to learn more about projects including Nashville’s recent successful public transportation ballot initiative, the Nashville Entrepreneurship Center, The Finery development by Hines, and the East Bank stadium project.
In 2025 we will visit New York City, specifically visiting sites including The High Line, an urban trail system that has expanded residential density, retail and reinforced the community’s sense of place by embracing a walkable system that doesn’t rely on cars to move people in and around; Stone Street, a pedestrian-only cobblestone street in the Financial District filled with restaurants and bars offering lively outdoor dining; and Bryant Park, an urban park that has transformed from a center for undesirable activity into a community hub with seasonal gardens, eateries, bars, and special activations including New York City's only free admission ice skating rink. If you are interested in joining this trip, please email Nicole Roberts at nicole@stpetepartnership.org for more details.
