Executive Summary is Published for Mission Zero Corridor Project

From August 2014 to January 2015, the Georgia Conservancy gathered a team of graduate students from Georgia Tech’s College of Architecture’s Urban Design Studio, led by a team from Perkins+Will to create a framework for transforming what is now referred to as the Mission Zero^® Corridor into the highway of the future.

The framework that the students created validated enormous potential for creating a “living laboratory” on the highway that will allow the world’s best thinkers, inventors and innovators to come together and share best practices, collaborating on something that has never been done before, with the ability to replicate it around the globe.

As we release this first summary, the Foundation, the Georgia Conservancy, and key stakeholders have also formed a Mission Zero Corridor Working Group that is already identifying which strategies and tactics have immediate applicability for pilot projects on the highway.  We are also exploring those technologies that may be as Ray often said, “just around the bend.”
