Abstract
Worcester has many of the outstanding attributes that define a creative economy, but they are not well defined spatially. A wayfinding system is a way to promote Worcester and catalyze economic and social development. In this project the historical and present conditions of the Blackstone Canal were researched. It was recommended that in constructing a wayfinding system a brand is developed that is based on the core values that defined the Blackstone Canal district: community business, education, faith, and heritage.
