TOYOTA WOVEN CITY BLOCK BECOMES MORE INTEGRATED THAN TRADITIONAL CITY GRIDS, OFFERING A MORE HUMAN SCALE ENVIRONMENT. THE 3X3 MODULE HAS EIGHT BUILDING BLOCKS SURROUNDING A CENTRAL COURTYARD WHERE PEDESTRIAN AND SLOW MOBILITY CAN WEAVE THROUGH. THE STREETS ON THE PERIMETER OF THE MODULE PROVIDE VEHICULAR ACCESS FOR LOGISTICAL, INFRASTRUCTURAL AND EMERGENCY SERVICES.
The city treats each mobility type equally, creating three different streets types. they are woven to create a 3x3 block module , 150m x 150m wide . 8•

The blue-green ecological networ k of this island masterplan promotes continuity for water, biodiver sity, and people . By encouraging greening of roofs, façades, public and private open spaces, Island A’s continuous habitat is held together by a robust blue-green networ k which is linked hydrologically and ecologically to coastal, estuarine , riparian, and inland forests. It ensures seamless pedestrian and cycling movements, and connects people to activities, programs, and origin-destination points.

Canalside parcels are planned for zero-lot-line, activated edges along 50% of their length to bring F+B, retail, and amenities to the life of the corridor.
A 30m channel accommodates two-way water taxi traffic. Stations are located approx. every 700m, with good connections to nearby transit including LRT, E-Bus, and bike-share.
2-Way Bike Paths are located on both sides of the corridor, forming the backbone of the islands mobility network. These corridors double as maintenance and EVA access along the corridor and for adjacent parcels, eliminating the need for parallel access roads.
The entire network serves a key function in collecting, cleaning and storing water for water recovery. Cleaning is accomplished via naturebased wetlands and swales, which double as recreational features.
Within the framework of circulation and water, a series of pockets are created which can be programmed in a variety of ways over time: from lawns, to forest groves, playgrounds, picnic areas, urban agriculture, or CSR programming for local businesses.
Blue-Greenways play a key role in the vision for PSI, providing avian, riparian, and amphibian habitat along their lengths. High-value mangrove habitats are located in protected estuaries at canal discharge points.

WEST BATTERY PARK CITY RESILIENCY BIG, SC APE 2020 | RFP
NORTH COVE MARINA: A POTENTIAL SOLUTION FOR 2050 AND BEYOND
The Arcadis Team sees resiliency and adaptation as exciting opportunities to not just protect, but enhance what already makes a place great. The Arcadis Team has gained deep insight working with BPCA on its sustainability guidelines, as well as Brookfield Properties on their flood protection plan. We will leverage lessons from these works as guiding principles and, working with BPCA, bring together innovation, resiliency, sustainability, and community to create a vibrant North Cove Marina that serves Battery Park City and all New Yorkers well beyond the 2050s.
