Places

RPA's Four Corridors (4C) initiative, a collaboration with the Rockefeller Foundation and Princeton University School of Architecture reimagines the region as four corridors, the Highlands, the Suburbs, the City, and the Coast, each representing a common set of needs and opportunities. Visit the 4c site (archived version) to learn more. 

The policy recommendations of the Fourth Regional Plan will transform communities across the region. But different places have different needs and different aspirations, and some places represent particular opportunities to achieve significant, positive change.
