Public space, public transit, and social services have to take into account areas of need when strategizing/locating public resources. The sharp contrast in density and economic means at the threshold of the Tenderloin neighborhood coupled with the planned extension of the T-3 subway from Bay View to China Town that will physically connect to Powell BART station have created an opportunity to develop and implement a strategy for public space in the immediate vicinity. These new networked public spaces will be a resource for individuals within the local community as well as an economic generator for neighborhood businesses through tourist dollars, increased land value, and maximized use of underutilized space in a dense urban context while minimizing gentrification through surgical intervention and connective logics. Bottom up strategies are integral to not only understanding the context in which new public space will be located, but also to identify what that new public space should be. Analysis of Powell BART station and its immediate surroundings inform large scale urban mappings and help determine strategies for intervention within the built fabric that seeks to minimize demolition of existing city fabric. Street level, multi story parking lots, and vacant properties are potential locations of public space that are almost exclusively located just past this demographic threshold. While these spaces will become new destinations in themselves a systemic legibility is necessary to give these spaces coherence for navigation at the pedestrian scale. Given that the existing city grid was designed for the scale of our car centric society, these spaces are conceived of and designed with a smaller pedestrian scale in mind acting as thoroughfares and adding a density to the city grid that favors walking. Site line logic and woven connectivity from Powell BART to limited existing open space in the Tenderloin, Boeddeker Park, and back to Market Street and Civic Center BART creates a new circuit of pedestrian travel rising above and reintegrating with the sidewalk at multiple points so that travelers will be brought into the neighborhood instead of completely separate from it throughout this new system of open spaces. In the diagram below the red demarcates Powell BART station, Boeddeker Park, and Civic Center BART and the green is street level parking lots. CITY WALK: A PUBLIC PARK(ING) NETWORK THESIS: SP 2012 BY: SEAN STILLWELL The contemporary manner in which public space has been implemented is often at odds with its most important utility. The authors of the 1985 San Francisco Downtown code conceived of the downtown city fabric as an "office ghetto" in need of isolated parcels of space for white-collar workers to spend their lunch hour. By requiring new development to create privately owned public space (POPOS) on site, this code has created public spaces disconnected from the public they are meant to serve as well as each other, often inaccessible at off hours and on weekends, and mediated by the security of the building in which they are situated. Thesis Question: How can public space be implemented within the dense urban context, conceived of with a temporal understanding of the city as well as with the logics of public transit, so that it will not only foster tourist revenue by providing accessible and desirable destinations in blighted neighborhood(s), but it will also produce local resources for the community within which it is situated.
