The Grand Boulevard and Concourse is a huge canyon surrounded by art deco cliffs, dried up a by the constant flow of rumbling cars.
We propose to revegetate it completely and project a virtual print of Central Park all over the Grand Concourse's roofs and ground.
Since our century has to come to ends with excessive urban sprawl, it seems essential to extrapolate the existing infrastructure : by opening the roofs to pedestrian circulation, using connecting green footbridges, the roofs would become extended public place.
Future space can move on from ground level, the amenities can now be placed on the roofs too, allowing traditional public space up on the new spaces such as cafes, schools, art galleries, offices, shops, agricultural greenhouses, etc.
The boulevard will be completely reorganized around a streetcar, an effective vector of urbanization and intensification of urban traffic, conceived for pleasure and necessity due to urban activities.
The main square will be pedestrian. Road traffic divided by two.
