Regenerating urban space: putting highway airspace to work
As cities are reaching critical densities of urban fabric, they face the dual problem of rising real estate values and vast areas of land in valuable locations occupied by highways and railways along with their supporting operations. Rights‐of‐way of both highways and railways, slicing through dense urban fabric, often act as barriers to growth. Further, they tend to generate edges which are problematic to use in positive ways and that physically delineate social separation. An answer to this phenomenon may be the joint development of air rights associated with urban transportation corridors by providing a means to reknit disrupted neighbourhoods and communities.
