Linear City
A new economic spine
Linear City is bounded by parallel bundles of road and rail infrastructure. To the east, this infrastructure forms a hard edge, but softened by a programme of linear forests, edge parks, edge lakes and wetlands. To the west, parallel to Highway N° 1, only a soft edge is cultivated.
Inside the city, a dense, mainly residential development is stimulated. Some urban growth is also possible to the east, but should be contained and developed in combination with making productive use of the land: flood pockets, urban void lakes, wetlands, agricultural fields and intensified aquaculture. West of the city is a large agricultural field.
A strong east-west connection is developed in the area of the projected airport. A new river-port is envisioned which initiates an industrial platform zone further to the south, eventually connecting with the proposed new location of the harbour on the Eastern Sea.
