Twin Cities > Minneapolis > University - Cedar Riverside
The University's West Bank area was an exciting urban laboratory in the
late 1960s and 1970s. Not only was the new campus expanding outwardly
from the Mississippi Riverfront almost to Cedar Avenue, but the city's
redevelopment officials envisioned a vast New Town in Town that would
have added thousands of new housing units in dozens of high-rise towers
and mid-rise blocks. At the same time, the retail street fronts
centered on Cedar and Riverside morphed into a kind of Sergeant Pepper
setting, a gentle version of counter-culture.
This futuristic
cityscape was quite impressive in model form, but would probably not
have been so great as experienced. Fortunately, this immense
development was pared down to a single, 1,299-unit complex, first known
as Cedar Square West, now Riverside Plaza.
