Strategies and Planning: Airport City Strategic Report
In a group of ten, we prepared a city-level strategic report for Newark, NJ. The focus and goal of the report is to reshape the Newark Liberty International Airport and underinvested South Ward into Newark’s Airport City - a mixed-use, economically robust neighborhood that leverages the airport’s success for the benefit of the entire city. Our report, with eight strategies from transportation connectivity to identity and culture, hope to create an airport that is “of” the city, not just “in” it.
While our work are collaborative in nature, the following showcase my work the most.
Transportation Connectivity
Airport Shuttle Service
Airport City Bridge (Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridge)
Job Creation
Supplier Diversity and Local Commerce Strategy
Weequahic Park and the Environment
Microgrid Strategy
Airport Terminals and Newark Identity
City Tours Strategy
Wayfinding Designs Strategy
Smart Wayfinding Strategy
Public Space in the Airport Strategy and Aircraft Museum Strategy
Culture + Branding Strategy
I have also included the link to the whole report here. The report contains an introduction, a brief overview of existing conditions and challenges (“Transitioning EWR to an Airport City), a strategies section, a funding and financing ection, a community engagement and participation plan, and a conclusion.
