“Nashville was founded on the west bank of the Cumberland River, and the destinies of city and river have been closely intertwined ever since” - Plan of Nashville (2005)

The built environment along Cumberland River has grown and changed over the last century and half. Once the commercial artery of Nashville, the Cumberland River lost this role to rails, highways and airport runways. Today, the city has begun to look at the river once again.
