ASU Student Spotlight

ASU Urban Planning Students Create Rio Reimagined Story Map 

In Spring 2025, a passionate and energized team of graduate students from Arizona State University’s Master of Urban and Environmental Planning (MUEP) program participated in a Planning Workshop dedicated to the Rio Reimagined (RIO) Rivershed Asset Mapping project. Working with members of the Rio Reimagined partnership, the student team developed a draft asset map to support regional planning efforts along the Salt and Gila River corridor. Spanning 55 miles and encompassing six municipalities, two Native Nations, and Maricopa County, this urban geography project bridged academic theory with real-world application in GIS, stakeholder engagement, and sustainable planning.
