Final Presentation

The final presentation is merging the result of the micro-macro scale proposals for the area, starting from the micro and finishing on the macro scale.

Starting from the microraion/neighborhood scale, the main theme is its conversion from an introvert and socially autonomous unit to a holder of public activity. However autonomy and decentralisation of the energy-water streams is the target in terms of sustainability. Mobility has a dual role. On the one hand, introducing a new tramway, perpendicular to the current radial public transport network, many accessibility issues are solved , especially in the east-west axis. But what is more important is that by placing the tram stops within the blocks, turns them into node-catalysts who will activate public activity within the block.

The Network of the microrayons comes in focus on the second part. The water streams emerging from the first part form a large scale ecological network. Additionally the barrier of the industrial patch that seperates the residential area in focus with the one to the west, next to the port is addressed. Finally access from microraion to microraion is taken into consideration with various access options.

Finally the example of the microrayon can be extracted in the greater St Petersburg scale, regarding the soviet belt, by swifting the urban-private relationships and enhancing a different connectivity and mobility pattern.
