The Radial City Plan

Borealis'
Cellular Structure Radial Urban Plan
In
projecting a city with a coherent urban plan in every stage of its
evolution, we require a predetermined total urban plan. In deciding
the form of such a plan, we must realize that this form is very
theoretical and in the end will always require modification
according to the demands of the geographical location and the
influence of its founding population. With this in mind, we opt for
a plan which best seems to fit our needs and purposes. We begin with
a radial plan on a two mile diameter circle plus surrounding green
belt. The radial plan is chosen, over the gridiron, as allowing
greater variety of space and flexibility for adaptation. From the
beginning the main transformation of this radial plan would be two
superimposed spirals growing out from the centre as principle
pedestrian circuits and forming one continuous main urban spine
extending throughout the entire city. Additional radial links would
give alternative transport and movement from the centre core to
outlying areas.
