The ULI Curtis Infrastructure Initiative promotes locally driven infrastructure solutions that are equitable, resilient, and enhance long-term community value. In participation with and supported by the Urban Land Institute Curtis Infrastructure Initiative, ULI Baltimore presents The Equitable Network, a proposal to build connective micro-transit infrastructure within Baltimore’s neglected neighborhoods. (Please be sure to review the Curtis Infrastructure Initiative Report completed August of 2023.)

The Equitable Network aims to build resilience within Baltimore’s “Black Butterfly,” connecting disinvested communities to Baltimore’s green infrastructure initiatives. the Green Network Rails to Trails Greenway Trail. Gaps in the existing pathways and green infrastructure led to the ideation of The Equitable Network. Given the contrasting conditions between the developed downtown and the east and west wings of the city, this project consciously prioritized site opportunities where equitable infrastructure is lacking.
