We are team of planners with diverse expertise and former experiences: architecture, urban studies, economics, engineering, and environmental science. Designing smart cities should consider both technology and society at the same time. Members from science and engineering areas provide knowledge about smart technology and implementation. Others from liberal arts and social science area contribute social context of technology in smart cities.

L.E.A.P. represents for “Livability”, “Empowerment”, “Accessibility”, and “Play”, respectively. Recognizing both challenges and opportunities posed by the heterogeneous land-use and built character, multi-modal transportation systems, diverse demography, and natural resources and hazard landscape, we defined four visions to guide our design.

Blending low-impact development and hazard mitigation with environmental sensing, sustainable energy systems, and resilient infrastructure.

Offering resources for greater freedom in shaping interactions with each other and the built environment, because what makes urban experience truly dynamic is

often spontaneous, not pre-programmed.

Utilizing responsive networks and infrastructure to improve the safety, efficiency, and equity of transportation systems, regardless of mode of travel or physical ability.

Bridging the digital divide and maximizing the potential of collective intelligence and creativity

through partnerships, skill workshops, open data, community participation, and co-creation spaces.

Since the redevelopment of the High Line in 2005, West Chelsea has garnered intensive growth and demand in residential and commercial uses. Defined by the High Line that dissects the space and surrounded by warehouse-turned-galleries, burgeoning boutiques, historic residences, and major attractions, the Project Site is a unique transition zone among the varying uses and built forms in the neighborhood.
