Introduction

The project is a city design and feasibility study of the 45-acre Penangding District of Philadelphia, creating a solution that integrates the overall development strategy, infrastructure needs and public space. This program includes remediation of transportation systems, construction of structural overhead platforms, and the creation of a 21st century worldwide urban park that will promote the development of 2 million square feet of integrated riverbanks, creating a total value of 1.6 billion for the city. The economic benefits of the dollar. After several years of planning, the feasibility study provided for the first time a program that was embraced by all stakeholders and developed clear funding for the long-term implementation of the connection fee city centre and the Delaware River’s ambitions. The route of phased implementation.

Details

The scope of the project includes a series of explorations of development density and building volume to test the development potential of market forecasts, urban landscapes, parking capacity and public space shaping in the region. The program provides a continuous north-south corridor, through which all the construction of the area is organized, while also ensuring the continuity of the pedestrian street. This pedestrian street connects the Hill community and the southern end of the Panlanding area, along one side of the Marina Basin development, through a 12-acre central park to the Market Street Development District, where the pedestrian bridge becomes the main thoroughfare for people and vehicles. The hotel, homes, high-rise apartments and community businesses are on both sides and are connected to the riverside development area on the north side. The waterfront public space connected to the development zone is activated due to the presence of restaurants and retail stores.


Project development is based on a number of sustainability principles including economic, social, transportation, and environmental. Connecting cities and rivers, creating comprehensive, traffic-oriented, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, transforming roads and parking lots into open spaces, all of which are built in Philadelphia to be more sustainable and the greenest city in the United States Above the future map. The plan also involves the development of a new travel strategy that supports the public's choice of water taxis, buses, bicycles, and future light rails to minimize dependence on private cars. The design of the building volume in the comprehensive development plot should not only take the river landscape into account, but also control the scale of the building according to the condition of the adjacent plots, while also taking the best sunshine orientation into account. Roof greening enhances energy efficiency and beautifies the view from a high-rise building. Rainwater management is also planned to include rainwater harvesting, reuse, infiltration and roof greening systems in park facilities.

The project also proposes a series of development goals that balance the potential of the base, the landscape and the purpose of the open space. The comprehensive objectives and needs of the phased implementation are also built into the project plan and matched in the market absorption rate. The program gives a great deal of flexibility in the scale of development and stage selection, enabling it to adapt to market changes in the 20 years to the completion of the project.


Conclusions

Urban planning is not a simple technical spatial planning, it is inseparable from market rules, social orientation and urban vision.
