Design Issues

  • Unpleasant and dangerous street walking experience for pedestrians.

  • Spaces for truly unwinding under nature feel inconvenient and scarce​.

  • Public furniture prioritise separation over socialisation and bonding​.

Design Features

  • Sink transportation networks below wide pedestrian streets and replace fume-emitting cars with double bike and Bus Rapid Transit lanes.

  • Pervade greenery into the urban landscape via rain gardens on the transportation level, planter box railings, natural landscapes (rolling public square), and ample roof gardens​.

  • Transform dead areas below train tracks into communal sheltered hubs that open to fresh air and sunlight via semi-outdoor social pods and a street market.
