The Design Trust awarded the second Photo Urbanism fellowship to Jonathan Smith for The Bridge Project. Mr. Smith undertook an in-depth photographic study of New York City's bridges, with the aim of capturing both the structures, large and small, and the spaces they command. An exhibit of photographs from the project was held in March 2005.

Through his work with Joel Meyerowitz and the World Trade Center Archive, Mr. Smith developed a fascination with the role of photography in creating a historical record. His work for Photo Urbanism forms a catalogue of New York's twelve major bridges, as well as a significant number of the city's smaller bridges, raised highways, and other elevated walkways and overpasses. In addition, he documented how the bridges connect with the land – how the parks, industries, and residential communities of New York are affected and interact with the city's transportation infrastructure, whether monumental or mundane.
