Saving Nashville’s Music Row through Storymaps
Track: Community Planning and Economic Development
Authors: Reina Murray, Rebecca Bice

Story maps have allowed us to provide information on the history and cultural resources at risk in Nashville’s Music Row to concerned stakeholders. The online platform provided an ideal way to overlay data gathered through surveys with layers pulled from various REST services. Compelling maps were enhanced by digital content such as audio clips, and woven together with a narrative that allowed users to learn more and make informed decisions concerning the future of this historic neighborhood.
