Description

2019 Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence - Silver Medal

Buffalo Bayou Park in Houston, Texas is a 160-acre park and a critical urban green space located in one of Houston’s primary drainage ways, Buffalo Bayou, Houston’s major and most historic waterway.

Submitted for consideration to the RBA by its master planner SWA Group, this 2.3-mile-long urban park turned the under-used land underneath highway overpasses into a lush, diversely-programmed public space.

Using Buffalo Bayou Partnership’s 2002 Buffalo Bayou and Beyond Master Plan, created by Thompson Design Group, as a guide, Buffalo Bayou Park project has restored the area to a more natural and self-sustaining state, reintroduced native landscapes, and added amenities to enhance safety and convenience for visitors.
