Janes Walk: Reimagining Urbanism with Emily Burnham

Reimaging Urban Renewal: 60 Years of Change in Downtown Bangor

Join local writer and Bangor history buff Emily Burnham on a tour through sites throughout downtown Bangor which show the effect Urban Renewal – the federally-funded program in the 1960s and 70s that forever changed the landscape of the city – still has on the Queen City.

Explore both mid-century and contemporary architecture, as well as what’s NOT there and what could be.

Check out Bangor’s other walks:
