Public Square
This is a Public Square. It was designed by FXCollaborative Architects and made for (as the client) Driverless Future Challenge. It is dated 2017. It is a part of the department.
Public Square reclaims road space as useful public space for pedestrians. A range of interlocking plug-and-play modules allows for a range of uses—from retail stands to gardens—enabling cities and communities to reimagine their streets and incrementally transform the city. Replacing just 5% of on-street parking in New York City would add the green space equivalent of one new Central Park. The modules reduce heat retention and storm-water runoff, which is critically important as cities face unprecedented storm events.
