The borough of Brooklyn is predominantly residential, interrupted up to a certain point by two parallel axes, the commercial Fulton Street and the industrial, manufacturing Atlantic Avenue, both vital connections to Manhattan and Long Island.
A new urban master plan is composed for the purpose of extending those two crucial functions further into Brooklyn, into the neighborhoods of Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant. The proposal takes into account the impact these axes will have on their environment by developing the surrounding area and focuses on a strip of approximately three kilometers.
It includes various urban design actions on different scales, varying from rezoning the industrial function along the Atlantic Avenue on a larger scale, the redesign of the streetscape of both streets in relation to its scale of use, rethinking the residential area in between these two axes (circa two blocks wide) on the scale of a building block and designing the street intersections were different speeds and scales meet.
