This Urban Design and Landscape Architecture proposal analyses and projects Interbay area in Seattle as a future connector between neighborhoods, enhancing social and ecological conditions of the site. By 2050 Interbay’s anthropogenic and ecological systems will complement each other, promoting social interaction with affordable options to live near downtown and consolidating a connection with the rest of the city.
