Hydrology
Revitalizes and naturalizes the River in the urban
heart of the City
Diverts adequate River water for acres of riparian
habitat restoration onsite
Decreases flow velocity downstream via soft
bottom and widened channel
Cleanses and stores significant quantities of water
for community use
Detains several thousands of acre-feet of peak flow
storm water onsite
Community
Establishes new transit district stimulated by the proposed high-speed rail
station adjacent to Union Station
Activates site edges through a rich variety of 24-hour uses
Enlivens through dense mix of job and housing types
Creates sense of place and camaraderie

Results
Multi-Scale
Intervention at the macro, systemic scale should consider the micro, human scale.
Sovereign
Independent, open-minded design mandates encourage holistic visions.
Collaboration
Interdisciplinary approaches are essential to achieve comprehensive, real solutions.
Integration
Layered, multi-dimensional realities (combining water, open space, connectivity and
community) must be a key component of our future cities.
Implementation
Realization of multi-scale, integrated projects require multi-party partnerships.
Regeneration
Social vibrancy, economic health and environmental sustainability are
synonymous.
THANK YOU!
