Glocal Grid, Future of New York Grid, Competition
The new grid extrudes into the Z axis, creating an entire infrastructural system which accounts for energy production, waste
management and data connection below ground, as well as community development and enhanced public spaces above
ground. Vertical parks are constructed on underdeveloped sites along 2nd Avenue and 10th Avenue.
