Reclaiming the Right of Way

A Performative, Generative and Green Corridor for the City of Kumasi, Ghana

Course Urban Design Studio I Studio 2012 Studio I Global Studio Comparative Informalities I Brazil + Ghana I Sao Paulo + Kumasi Project Location Kumasi, Ghana

Description This project reveals the tremendous potential of Kumasi’s seemingly forgotten railway right of way (R.O.W.). It is a speculation on how Kumasi’s disappearing railway corridor could become a green multipurpose spine within the densifying city of Kumasi. The strategic introduction of ecological, economic and cultural improvements and opportunities could transform this corridor into a vital, performative, and empowering infrastructure, benefiting the city of Kumasi from the local to the regional scale. Issue The railway R.O.W. plays an important role in Kumasi’s urban fabric for locals using this corridor as a safe, quick and convenient pedestrian and bicycle path. This corridor connects them to important educational and economic hubs, while avoiding the congested road network. However, this R.O.W. is threatened by serious problems such as erosion and encroachments of various kinds which have started interrupting its continuity after the discontinuation of the rail service about a decade ago.

Project Team Hannah Allawi Minyoung Kim Julie Marin Eri Suzuki Instructior Prof. Richard Plunz Prof. Michael Conard Prof, Petra Kempf Prof. Geeta Metha Prof. Kate Orff Prof. Victor Body-Lawson

Strategy The key advantage of the railway R.O.W is the leverage that the Traditional Authority, the Ghana Railway Development Authority and the City of Kumasi have over ownership and usage. The R.O.W. cuts through the urban fabric of Kumasi making it an ideal place to plug in the city’s infrastructure systems and much needed public amenities. Our proposed strategy illustrates how the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (K.M.A.) could lead the revitalization efforts by providing a clear vision for this amenity, and by involving neighboring communities, commerce, industries and institutions into the reclaiming and revitalization process, without relying on external resources. The physical transformation of this corridor is expected to build equity and resilience within the city and help guide regional and national developments.

HOW COULD THE R. O. W. BECOME A MUCH NEEDED ECOLOGICAL CORRIDOR FOR FAUNA AND FLORA?

BAMBOO NURSERIES

BIODIVERSITY Kumasi’s railway R.O.W. can play an important role in water retention and landscape remediation, given its mainly low topographical condition. Landscape improvements to the corridor can begin with the planting of bio-diverse native vegetation to mark the edges of the right of way and stabilize the soil of the corridor, which is very fertile. Amongst various plants, bamboo, mango and oil palm trees can generate jobs, small scale market activities and new agro-industries that could become new economic generators. Bamboo processing can be a job creating industry that will also help prevent further loss of trees in Kumasi. Palmoil trees can be planted along the line to create a sense of continuity for the corridor and mango trees can be planted at rest stops and gathering

spots to provide shade as well as fruit. Besides providing spatial quality, these plants offer economic and ecological benefits such as fruit vending and soil remediation. This green spine will create a new identity for Kumasi and help attract further development of economic activities discussed in the next scenario.

Bamboo Nursery

A VIGNETTE OF LANDSCAPE DEVELOPMENT BAMBUSA VULGARIS

Bamboo is nature’s fastest growing woody plant, with some species achieving the phenomenal growth rate of one meter a day. Bamboo provides shade, an acoustical barrier and a wind break. A bamboo tree matures in just three years.Thereafter harvests are possible every second year for up to one hundred and twenty years.3

FLOOD CONTROL Bamboo grows well in flood plains, on river banks, and on steep hillsides. It can control landslides and prevent washouts, and thick culms keep flooded rivers within their natural courses and slow the speed of flowing rivers.2

BAMBOO NURSERY At some points in the R.O.W., rivers converge at topographically low land creating suitable places for bamboo nurseries and cultivation.

SECTION B-B: INTERSECTION RIVER AND R.O.W IN 2017

CLEANING WATER Bamboo is used in some parts of the world for cleaning sewage. It also soaks up heavy metals. It is a potential answer to polluted rivers in Kumasi.3

SOIL REMEDIATION Bamboo provides excellent erosion control because of its extensive interlocking root systems, which bind together 85% of the soil approximately one foot below the surface where it is planted.2

HOW COULD THE R.O.W. ATTRACT ECONOMIC AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENTS?

AIRPORT RELATED DEVELOPMENTS

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Intersections of the railway R.O.W. and major roads provide opportunities for development of high density and mixed and commercial real estate, light industry and housing. Existing residual spaces along the R.O.W. could accommodate these new types of development as the corridor will provide multiple options of alternative transportation, increased visibility, good environment and access for new businesses, as well as direct access to other major commercial and institutional nodes of the city. Run-down industrial zones along the

corridor can be revitalized to attract new types of eco-tech industries, including new bamboo industries, that can generate

employment opportunities for the local population.

AIRPORT NEW INFRASTRUCTURES THAT THE RIGHT OF WAY CAN ACCOMODATE INFRASTRUCTURE

MARKET

The existing railway strategically cuts through the urban fabric of Kumasi making it an ideal place to implement the city’s infrastructure systems and much needed public amenities. Continuous infrastructure systems such as water, sewer and storm water management, electric, tele-communication and a trench for future utilities could be integrated underneath the pedestrian corridor. As this corridor becomes more intensively used, public amenities such as drinking water, public toilets, waste collection points, internet and information, education, training, health services, and micro financing services could be plugged into the framework to serve and empower local communities. The strategic location of the corridor makes it possible to impact a large population from all social groups.

This multi-purpose corridor can truly become a transformative, generative and performative infrastructure benefiting the future growth and development of the City of Kumasi.

Project Scope Crating a regional operative landscape strategy to revitalize the Ford Chicago Assembly Plan and surrounding industrial area in Calumet. Strategy The proposal aims to improve the quality of former industrial sites by turning slag from a by-product into a co-product of the steel manufacturing process. Slag can be used as a construction material as well as aid for filtration and phytoremediation depending on the level of heavy metal content in the soil. In this project slag samples are collected from different former industrial brownfield sites and tested to determine the optimal strategy for remediation and future use of the sites.

Generating Dialogue for Designing Resilient Cities

Moving forward from the 3.11 Earthquake and Tsunami

Course Independent Research I Spring 2012 Research Topic Comparative Analysis of Reconstruction Plans and Progress in Tohoku Region, Japan Project Location Tohoku Region, Japan Advisor Prof. Mojdeh Baratloo

Description In the aftermath of the 3.11.2011 Earthquake and Tsunami, the Tohoku region is transitioning from a short-term temporal recovery phase to a long-term permanent reconstruction phase. Following the announcement of the national (June, 2011) and prefectural (August-October, 2011) reconstruction plans and guidelines, unprecedentedly forty two municipalities along the coast of the Tohoku region simultaneously proposed reconstructions plans (October-December, 2011). Consequently, in this top-down methodology, municipalities are now tasked with implementing local strategies to their hard and soft infrastructure. Meanwhile, self-motivated / collaborative community-based projects are starting to take steps towards the recovery of the local community. Under tremendous pressure to recover and restructure cities quickly, how effectively can a reconstruction plan lead and guide the efforts of a reconstruction process? How could the top-down demands of government be balanced with the bottom-up requirements of local communities? Will the plans be able to respond and adapt depending on the changing needs of the individual, community, municipality, city, region and nation? The deliverable summarizes an independent research that begun with a visit to Tohoku region in January 2012. Following the visit, research focused on analysis and journalistic investigation into the on-going reconstruction efforts concurrently taking place in the Tohoku region which led to a comparative analysis of four different cities affected by the 3.11 Earthquake and Tsunami (Ishinomaki, Minamisanriku, Kesennuma, Rikuzentakata). These cities vary in geographic, demographic, industrial and land use conditions. Thus, the analysis gives a comprehensive understanding of the physical and legislative reconstruction framework towards a sustainable and resilient future with a focus on disaster prevention and mitigation. This research is summarized,and made public on a website (http://www.drc-tohoku.org) as a resource for those advocating for the revitalization of the physical, cultural, ecological and social realm in the Tohoku Region, as well as for the planners, architects, and urban designers who materialize solutions that will serve the community in the long run. The website will be developed further: • • • • •

Series of devastating events of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident had a huge impact nationwide; thus, the nation was in urgent need to lead the social and economic restoration starting from the Tohoku region. National Basic Guidelines were created to become “a blueprint for the Government to tackle numerous challenges in the reconstruction process based on Basic Act of the Great East Japan Earthquake Reconstruction Law No.76, 2011”. The challenges include securement of temporary and permanent housing, disposal of disaster related waste, building of necessary infrastructure and transportation systems and reviving the industry. Concepts of the reconstruction guidelines were based on the fundamentals of creating disaster resilient communities with the utmost priority given to securing human lives and minimizing damage at the next event of disaster.

Rikuzentakata reconstruction plan reflects many of the aspects of National Basic Guidelines and Iwate Prefecture Reconstruction Plan. The new scheme relocates most of the residential area to high grounds above the 3.11 flood zone. However, because of the steep topography much of the developments will have to dispersed from one another. This raises an issue of accessibility for residents and poses a difficulty for the municipality to equally serve the areas with the city’s infrastructure and services. The municipality Zone as possible in the relocation City Industrial intends to keep the existing communities settlements together as much Park Memorial Takata-Matsubaraand process to maintain the strong social ties that exist in older communities while also respecting individual situations. The plan also poses a challenge in connecting places or live, work, and recreate.

Fill

Iwate Prefectural Reconstruction Plan was assembled and published in August of 2011 to adopt national guidelines and propose a plan at Iwate prefectural scale. Though the framework of the reconstruction plan is based on the national guidelines, Iwate plan emphasizes three principles: 1: Ensuring Safety, 2: Rebuilding Livelihood, and 3. Revitalizing industries. Since much of the importance is weighed on disaster preventative community planning, Iwate’s guideline and plans propose restructuring of the existing land use/zoning and relocating and consolidating communities along the coastline to the higher grounds. Most of the low land in the geographic condition of Ria has experienced either land subsidation or liquefaction of reclaimed landfill. Due to its risk and vulnerability to natural disasters, these sites are now allocated for agricultural and recreational purposes and being evaluated to if they could be the host of renewable energy production facilities. Thus, It is no longer intended to become habitable space for the city. Industrial, civic, commercial and housing areas are shifted to higher grounds to ensure safety of inhabitants. It is evident that many aspects of the plan are based on the national guildelines. The diagrams to the right indicate how Iwate prefecture envisions a new type of community geared towards disaster prevention.

Description Propose a comprehensive urban design solution that reconnects fragmented neighborhoods created by physical barriers, socioeconomic disparity and building typology on Rockaway Peninsula.

Strategy This proposal identified the railway infrastructure that bifurcates the Rockway Penninsula as an ideal location to insert a framework that will house programs and spaces that are lacking throughout the peninsula. The framework will synergize various initiatives that are simultaneously yet separately implemented laterally along the peninsula and transversely between the beach and the bay. It is intended to help re-imagine, re-connect and reenergize Rockaway by embracing the natural environment resulting in a healthier and more prosperous community.

Bayou District

Downtown Connections: Houston, TX

Type ULI/Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Competition

Description / Issue Competition brief called for a redevelopment of a 16.3 acre site owned by the U.S Postal Services which occupies a critical corner of Downtown Houston. It presents accessibility issues but also has a potential to serve as a gateway to downtown. The competition was constructed on the grounds that the site would be purchased by several stakeholders who are committed to sustainable growth of the Houston downtown and creating a new identity to reconnect the area separated by the Buffalo Bayou to the adjacent Theater and Historic districts. The nature of the ULI Competition charged for a collaboration among team members from multiple disciplines.

Competition I Duration Spring 2012 I Two weeks Project Location Houston, TX Institution Columbia University Team Members Will Grimm 360 (Urban Design + Architecture) Eri Suzuki (Urban Design + Architecture) Kusum Ananhaiah (Urban Planning) Simone Greenbaum Gross (Urban Planning) Michael Grill (Real Estate Development)

Strategy Our proposal suggested a reconfiguration of the site to strengthen the physical connection to Buffalo Bayou / downtown and promote developments that will enhance Houston’s unique entrepreneurial spirit. This mix-use development incorporates a multi-modal transit system to maximize the accessibility and visibility of the site creating a true gateway to the City of Houston.
