Designed by world-renowned landscape architecture firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, CityArchRiver 2015 connects the Gateway Arch grounds with the East and West riverfronts and the region beyond. Through the creation of new spaces for events and public education on expanded museum space, additional park acreage and bicycle trails, children’s play areas, performance venues, and a lively, invigorated riverfront, locals and tourists alike will find new opportunities to learn, linger and enjoy one of the world’s most recognized icons.

RBLD designed the Illumination for the restoration of the Arch grounds, as well as the new North Gateway park, Old Courthouse Plaza, Luther Ely Smith Park, and various green space connections to surrounding City neighborhoods.
