More is More
More is finally more, not less, not a bore, it is just simply what it is - more.
More City: more life, more sun, more restaurants, more biking, more playgrounds, more choice, more connections, more play time. Less: traffic, less roads, less cutoffs, less pollution.
Re:vison dallas just concluded a competition in which it supposed: What if everything we knew and believed about design needed to change? What if we need to change along with it?
To meet our 21st century needs big and bold ideas are needed. Nature often uses fire to trigger new seeds to grow. So to must we do with our cities. Trains, rail systems, trolleys, and busses cannot be successful without first a solid walkable/bikeable foundation. Retaking our road will be the fire we need.
Stroll along the North line to visit: Kathy Trail, American Airlines Center, and The Arts District.
Bike the West line to: Union Station (Trinity railway express), Old Court house, Reunion Tower, The Trinity River project, and the Great Trinity Forest.
Walk the Upper East line for the: Dallas Farmers Market, the Swiss Avenue historical houses. Elm street and commerce street.
Open Up the Southern line: for new growth and expansion.
Take the Lower East line to visit: Fair Park, and Reunion Arena.
Cities of the future will rely upon a pedestrian connective tissue that interweave the cities’ various vibrant nodes, and links together its diverse amenities into a thriving connected base. The existence of the living road is a catalyst which creates a new thriving community among the empty parking lots, and disconnected neighborhoods. Its sole purpose it to weave together the city in an unbroken path of trails, community gardens, playgrounds and open spaces. Its effect is a denser more sustainable active city full of pedestrian accessible restaurants, bars, parks, museums and the great outdoors. Let’s start to walk our kids to school in the sunrise, play basketball at noon, and ride our bike home from work to catch barbeque in sunset.
