San Antonio’s River North Wins International Urbanism Accolade

        On the heels of San Antonio’s River Walk extension being named the nation’s largest ecosystem restoration in an urban area, the surrounding neighborhood development of River North has just been noted as one of 12 projects from around the world to win a Charter Award from the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU). CNU, the leading organization promoting walkable, neighborhood-based development as an alternative to sprawl, commended the San Antonio River North project as a pioneer in developing mixed-use, walkable landscapes. Inspired by the art-filled niches, landscaped grottos and walkability of the River Walk, River North will transform what was a light industrial area into a thriving mixed-use neighborhood with residential, retail and office space centered around the San Antonio River. 

        Always known as a city that takes pride in its rich history, San Antonio is now being considered a city that also invests in generations to come. Discover more ways that San Antonio is making a difference at www.visitsanantonio.com or by calling 800-ALAMO-07.
