Stre(eat) - Productive Neighborhood Park

The aim is to create a viable, productive, resilient landscape, also creating a new environmentally productive green space that is a benefit to both nature and community. The goal is to create a space with the emerging tendency of urban food production, ecological balance and to provide recreation. Creating a neighborhood that allows urban residents the opportunity to understand natural processes, as simple as tree growth and water percolation, can aid in reconnecting individuals to natural systems and processes while strengthening the role that open space plays in the function of cities. Beyond the aesthetic, formalistic, and programmatic evaluation of urban landscapes, there is an emergent need to recognize opportunities for productive landscape. The productive landscape includes providing food from urban agriculture, pollution absorption, the cooling effects of trees or increased biodiversity from wildlife corridors.
