12.2008 DESIGN PROPOSALS for Upper King Street & Industrial Park

Here you will find our most recent design for King Street and the neighboring Industrial Park.  The plan is extensive and incorporates a variety of different ideas, including a walkable mixed-use King Street, integrated and walkable neighborhood districts, a series of parks, gardens, and natural preserve which link together to form a green belt for the city.  On axis from Jackson Street School, in the center of King Street, you will also find a public plaza.  Like all of our proposals, this design is intended as a long-term goal for the city of Northampton in providing its citizens with the best and most sustainable life possible.
