Urban Question
How can transportation (re)act as a catalyst for integration with the fabric of the city as well as set the stage for design and development in lower Manhattan immediately post 9/11? Long term?
Urban Answer
Access and egress for all modes of transportation for the Memorial Design and master planning beyond the WTC site including all of lower Manhattan required communicating clearly to designers and decision makers how to improve transportation infrastructure to reflect the aspirations of the project.
Immediate Response Included connecting transit to residential and business communities otherwise disconnected due to the reconstruction of the site and the West Side Highway itself. Memorial Design Beyond the Site The Region Looking beyond the site and in detail, at the site itself, clear diagrams with few words explained the issues and opportunities for redevelopment in short order to decision makers.
