Nicollet Mall, originally a street, was redeveloped into a pedestrian mall in the 1960s to revitalize the downtown core and encourage foot traffic. The IDS Center, completed in 1973, became a landmark of the city's central business district. The skywalk system, visible connecting buildings, was developed to provide weather-protected pedestrian access throughout downtown Minneapolis, enhancing its functionality.
