New York City in 2040
What would New York City look like if we removed cars from some streets, allowing more room to walk, bike, and relax?
A collection of some of my favorite before & after renderings from @betterstreetsai…
Manhattan
Brooklyn
When I view these renderings, I’m reminded of the time I’ve spent in European cities. I imagine quiet, I imagine calm. I remember how at peace my nervous system felt walking the streets of Paris. I remember Amsterdam’s crisp air filling up my lungs.
What if we had the density, spontaneity, and vigor of New York City without the fumes and the noise?
P.S. If you liked these renderings you may also like my post on greening New York City.
Allowing your imagining to move from lesser used side streets to literal freeways is a bold and wonderful move
Awesome! Love the fountain one and family art fest one in particular :D
