Establishing my topic...

My project, seeks to create a model of a micro-city or district that will eliminate the use of roads or highways. This micro-city, being implemented into a larger city, will instead require its residents to either walk or use sustainable forms of transportation. Though there will be no cars allowed within the micro-city, I do want to establish 2 types of mass transportation systems: 1. on the macro-scale- connecting larger city to larger city, and 2. on the micro-scale- connecting each micro-city/district within a given city. Since the use of the traditional street grid will become obsolete, a new realm of architectural form will develop with emphasis given to the pedestrian and how buildings are experienced. It is through this project and entire thesis year, that I wish to create an alternative living situation for people of different societies, that they may live in a more integrated, less harmful way.
