Blurb: “An exceptional and increasingly scarce piece of Dayton urban planning history.
Published in 1977 by the River Corridor Committee of the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce, Riverdesign Dayton documents the ambitious effort to reimagine and revitalize the Great Miami River corridor in the heart of the city. Produced in cooperation with the Miami Conservancy District and leading architectural firms, this award-winning urban design study captures a pivotal moment in Dayton’s civic evolution.
Inside you’ll find:
• Original black-and-white photography of citizen participation and riverfront spaces
• Detailed planning maps and zone-by-zone proposals
• Concept sketches, site plans, and river access diagrams
• Early visions for Island Park, walkways, security planning, lighting, recreation areas, and mixed-use development
• A fascinating look at 1970s urban design thinking in a Midwestern city
This is more than a planning document — it’s a snapshot of Dayton’s aspirations in the post-flood, post-industrial era. For collectors of Ohio history, Miami Valley ephemera, urban planning materials, architecture enthusiasts, or anyone passionate about Dayton’s riverfront transformation, this is a remarkable archival piece.
