Reinventing Cities: From Urban Highway to Living Space

摘要

In 1974 Portland replaced its Harbor Drive with a waterfront park; in 1991 the Embarcadero Freeway in San Francisco was dismantled; in 2001 New York rebuilt the 12th Avenue where an elevated highway had stood; in 2005 the Cheonggyecheon Expressway in Seoul made way for the river hidden underneath; and between 2013 and 2017 Paris pedestrianised the Seine riverbank highway. Now Paris Metropolitan Region is launching an international design competition to rethink the Peripherique and the Grand Paris motorway network.
