A still of a video of an aerial view of Manhattan and its environs from about 50th street looking west, north and east above Park Avenue. On the left or west are East New Jersey’s coastline, the Hudson River, Manhattan’s grid beginning on the west side and continuing throughout the east side and the vastness of Central Park. Located below the Park are built structures including monolithic skyscrapers and Park Avenue appears to be the widest avenue and has blooming trees instead of traffic.

The Street Ahead

This is a The Street Ahead. It was produced by Driverless Future Challenge, EDG, Zaha Hadid Architects (London, UK) and EcoDeo and collaborator: WXY and DLANDstudio. Its medium is videos. It is a part of the department.

Streets cover over 80% of public land in U.S. cities. The advent of connected and autonomous vehicles (CVs and AVs) provides cities an opportunity to reimagine this public space by exploring designs that transform what has primarily been a means of conveyance into safer, more resilient, less congested, multi-modal, people-centered streetscapes. This video demonstrates how designers reimagined the street in three locations.

A digital print of a line drawing showing a three dimensional street design rendered with dark narrow blue lines. The street design focuses on cleaner mobility technologies. The view is from about a third floor window where a wide avenue is rendered using one-point perspective to the right showing distance. The opposing street has continuous tall built structures with a sidewalk for walking. One narrow lane for autonomous vehicles (AVs), one lane for walking with a notation saying, “Access for All Ages and Abilities,” one lane for people with notation saying, “More Space For People,” two tracks for autonomous light rail with a notation saying, “Affordable, Reliable and Frequent Mobility,” one lane with shelters to protect people from weather, one lane for AVs with a notation saying, “Slower Speeds, Safer Streets,” another lane for AVs with a notation saying, “Zero Emissions Vehicles,” and an extremely wide sidewalk with shelters for pedestrians.

A green, park-like promenade is depicted in-between tall, urban buildings shown in the background in subdued shades of gray. In the foreground are two children , one wearing a bright red shirt, actively playing and in motion. The promenade features a wide, grass lane with neatly laid rows of square and rectangular grey blocks. A turquoise green biycle lane is un use by two cyclists on on the left side and marked with a directional symbol. A tree with bright green leaves stands tall in a planter. Pedestrians, cyclists, and a child on a scooter are featured in the scene along with guests seated at round bistro tables on each side of the promenade. A store can be see on the far left behind the tree, and short bushes with hints of orange, pink, and purple line the promenade as it continues into the distance.
