    Making Downtown: Nicollet Mall’s Collaborative Design Response for a Vital City Center
    (2010-04-21) Fredrickson, Marisa
    Nicollet Avenue had been the heart of downtown Minneapolis’ retail district for almost a century before it was designed to be a pedestrian mall in the 1960s, and thousands of people still circulate through it daily. While the Mall received a lot of publicity and attention in the years surrounding its construction, the story for us today is fragmented. The archival material from this period of Minneapolis’ history is found in a variety of places, and the span of eleven years meant a lot of people were involved in the design process. My goal is to reassemble its history during the 1950s and 60s.
