THE HINGE: URBAN CORE
The plan for the Hinge is focused on creating a vibrant, mixed-use city center that draws from and connects the municipal core of the city and the current industrial zone. The plan is based on several implementation concepts. The first, circulation and public passage, is focused on creating public and transparent ground levels of municipal functions interconnected with existing public assets such as pedestrian pathways and plazas. Pedestrian networks utilize passive climatological solutions to encourage year-round pedestrian use. The second, urban infill and adaptation, is focused on utilizing strategic densification by developing vacant and underutilized lots within the existing city and adapting existing urban fabric to create dense residential and commercial neighborhoods. Finally, our economic development strategy is focused on developing mixed-use structures and promoting human-scale street activity. Denser development will result in stronger continuity between commercial and residential uses in different parts of the city.
Our plan for the Hinge focuses primarily on a large-scale redevelopment of the Wedge into a mixed-use city center. Our proposal involves moving the train tracks below grade so a new train station can be built at grade with a road connection into the industrial zone, bridging the two major parts of the city. Major development and streetscape renovations along Sderot Lachish aim to turn this into an iconic street running the length of the city, from the northern development to Intel. The heart of Lachish will be in the Wedge, with mixed-use buildings contain-ing storefronts, cafes, and municipal services on the ground level and residences above. Parked cars will shield pedestrians, bikers, and diners from traffic and tree cover will shield them from the sun.
