Project Introduction

Context, scope and design response

The project shifts the street from road-boundary management toward district-scale public-space coordination. By opening edges, clarifying pedestrian and bicycle routes, reorganizing setbacks and introducing modular seating, planting and service facilities, the renewal turns previously closed or inefficient green spaces into active everyday places connected to offices, retail, transit and community life.
