NYC Block / Future Block of Manhattan

The city of the future is one of an intricate dance, where today’s problems becomes tomorrows theatrical ensemble for addressing culture, economics, demographics, and sociospatial accessibilities. Rather than adding more to the congestion of the block, the proposal aims to create an orderly whole from the already distinctive parts of the city. The individual components symbiotically react within the block creating a self-(socio)sustained environment. As a result, the composition of these parts also promote creation of a 24/7 mix of activities within the block. 

Within the established and dominant fabric of Manhattan, lays the opportunity to  promote new ways of living in urban density that address current problems: Creation of work through mixed-zoning to address unemployment, creation of high intensity common spaces to address sociospatial inequalities, creation of varied housing  types that accommodate specifics demographics address lack of varied housing, creation of micro-neighborhoods to address marginal community interaction, creation of public infrastructure within the block to address transportation, and creation of fully-immerse university facility to address multi-use education space.
