We have re-imagined the entire central spine of the City as a connected series of pedestrian paths, transit stations and new mixed-use developments that will greatly expand the population of the City without increasing its size or commandeering new land. The advent of mass transit and walkable communities means that one can live in the City without a car and publicly available local sources of food will drive down the costs of living dramatically in the City and in the region, making life more affordable.

The re-adaptation of the City calls for a new center to be built. Dense and connected to employment and regional transit locations by a circulator, this new center and transitway can be easily accessed by people walking or bicycling. By reinventing the spaces that lead to transit, to community destinations, and between neighborhoods, we can make these short trips hospitable, even enjoyable on streets that are converted to public pedestrian zones and green spaces.

Build A Better Burb Competition Finalist Location: Long Island, New York Client: Build a Better Burb Competition Time: 2010 Team: Tom Jost, Amy Ford-Wagner, and Will Wagenlander Program Type: Master Plan Site: 1,670 acres
Project Farmingdale is the poster child for Long Island sprawl development. Our proposal, AgIsland replaces office parks with organic farms, fed by AgTrain, a conveyer connected to processing, distribution, and rail to connect Farmingdale to all of Long Island’s dense centers where goods are sold. AgTrain conveys waste to soil-mixing and waste-to-energy plants, providing organic soils to farms and alternative energy to the community.
My Role • Refined master plan alternative. • Research and analysis of wasteto-energy case studies. • Developed sketchup model for concept design. • Prepared final graphics and outlined storyboard for submittal.
