Some post-recession sprucing up is going on in town and we look at two projects with similar goals: to revitalize and connect Charlotte. One mixes social equity, design, sustainability and even art in a mixed-income neighborhood to the north. The other is a pedestrian walkway patterned after New York City’s High Line connecting neighborhoods around SouthEnd with Uptown. We'll take a peek at Charlotte’s future.
