Thanks to Inhabitat for pointing to map-lab's ResilienCity visionary proposal for the Boston Innovation District circa 2035... "...a new neighborhood built on greyfield and brownfield sites that will provide residences and workplaces for over 300,000 people [...] Our design proposal for Boston’s Innovation District incorporates a strategy of new canals that gives 100 acres of land back to the sea and provides for roof gardens and living walls throughout the district with the goal of re-establishing long lost ecological conditions. In total our proposal provides over 15 million square feet of green spaces for recreation and green roofs. In addition, we transform a major downtown Boston street into a pedestrian friendly boulevard modeled after the Ramblas in Barcelona. [...] We have designed ResilienCity to encourage all visitors, workers, and occupants to be active and educated about their health."Check out their overall proposal...
