SLICE THE MARKET

Overtime the market has grown out over the existing railroad tracks. Current investments to revitalize the railroad requires informal settlements to relocate.

DISPLACE SETTLEMENTS

Since the dismissal of the railray a decade ago, there has been a large amount of informal settlements, both residental and market functions. The return of the railroad will disturb these settlements and more structured living arrangements will be proposed. SMALL COMMERCIAL / MIXED-USE

REPLACE SETTLEMENTS

More adequate and sufficient housing / mixed use buildings are proposed to restimulate activity along vacant corridor and provide housing for the displaced settlements.

BRIDGE THE CITY

Bridge the city severed by the railway corridor.

CATALYST

The proposed commercial urban agriculture center will redefine the center of the city as not only a thriving market place but also a source for major goods and resources.

FUTURE PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPE

The under-utilized space in the railroad corridor can overtime become a major food artery through the city.
