The project is part of the HUNDRED Plan, an acronym for Historic Urban Neighborhood Design Redevelopment. In 2016, residents worked with graduate students from UNLV to create a vision for what they wanted to see on the Historic Westside.

The international tile and stone show Coverings has previewed the programming for its upcoming show, which will include hands-on demonstrations, tours and other educational opportunities. A highlight of The Coverings Lounge this year will be the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) exhibit.

Huntridge Park has been fenced off since 2020, stranded in the middle of Maryland Parkway and stuck in decades of controversy. Host Sonja Cho Swanson talks with Friends of Huntridge Park co-founders Freddy Godinez and Randy Mendre about the park’s turbulent history, from its postwar heyday to repeated closures tied to safety, access, and homelessness. They lay out why some neighbors would rather keep it closed — and why that might be a mistake. Plus, a bold vision for how this forgotten green space could become a cultural hub for downtown Las Vegas again, with help from UNLV landscape architecture students.

Oslo is one of a handful of up-and-coming sustainable destinations, according to the Global Destination Sustainability Index (GDSI).  A new wave of cities, from Belfast to Sydney, is emerging to claim the sustainability leadership mantle. And in 2026, they may be worth a visit.

From Aalborg to Sydney, here are five emerging cities that are putting sustainability first. But are they worth traveling to next summer? Experts weigh in.

Anyone driving down Maryland Parkway just south of downtown Las Vegas will see Huntridge Circle Park, but they won’t be able to enjoy it. Residents of the surrounding Huntridge neighborhood want to change that by helping to reopen the long-closed city-owned park. One way they’re hoping to build up the energy is by collaborating with students in the UNLV landscape architecture program to redesign the historic but often rough space.

Behind a locked gate in the Maryland Parkway Corridor sits the closed Huntridge Circle Park, but the community-driven organization, Friends of Huntridge Park, is hoping to change that.

Future architects at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, are set to showcase their innovative ideas for the redevelopment of Huntridge Circle Park.

The vision for a park in Las Vegas is taking shape as part of a collaboration between community leaders and UNLV students. The showcase marks the first phase in a broader partnership bringing together Friends of Huntridge Park, UNLV, City Councilwoman Olivia Diaz, and the City of Las Vegas.
