The Transportation Hub is conceived at street level as a freestanding structure situated on axis along the southern edge of the "Wedge of Light" plaza. It links the procession of green, urban spaces that extend along Park Row from City Hall Park to St. Paul’s churchyard, to the gardens of the WTC Memorial and Battery Park along the Hudson River. >>>

Developed by international design and innovation office Carlo Ratti Associati together with German engineering firm Schlaich Bergermann und Partner, and British digital design studio Atmos, The Mile is a design for a one-mile high vertical park and observation deck.

The Mile will be the world’s highest man-made construction – around twice the height of today’s tallest building. From base to apex, the structure will offer a natural ecosystem, covered by plants and greenery, inhabited by hundreds of animal species, and criss-crossed with a delicate latticework of transportation lines. >>>
