Urban Design | The Groves of Spire Village, Little Ferry, NJ Green Spaces Two green strips connecting north and south are the main pedestrian paths in the site. From the green strips, three large green corridors brunch out, connecting the green walls and building facades on the west of the site, next to where the vehicular thoroughfares are located, and the waterfront area on the east of the site.
Pedestrian-oriented T width of the passageways, the size of the blocks, the repeated opportunity for interaction with natural green space above and the waterfront below, and the scale of the structures are concentrated on pedestrian walkability. The curvilinar passageways are design to help people recognize their location. mouliluo@gmail.com | 11

These maps indicate statistic data in Middlesex County and Piscataway Township. Comparing these maps, we can find the consistency of low population density, high household income, and high median house value. Thus, these maps help to identify the local real estate market and to predict the market demand.
