along the urban energy meridians of the Phoenix region, canalscape would perform urban
acupuncture, bringing health and well-being to the city and its inhabitants.
While the canals offer distinctive settings for vital urban hubs, these are also emerg-
ing at street intersections and along certain arterials, particularly along the new light-rail

about what is right for here and now—not architects or planners—have been making
indelible marks on the urban and cultural landscapes of the Phoenix area.
