EcoInnovation District
A first of its kind district plan that combines goals of both EcoDistricts and Innovation Districts
Interface Studio led this unique project focused on the Uptown / West Oakland communities in Pittsburgh to combine the goals of both EcoDistricts (focused on creating environmentally and socially sustainable communities) and Innovation Districts (designed to help promote economic growth and create business and employment opportunities).
Put together with help from thousands of residents and stakeholders, the plan includes designs for a new Bus Rapid Transit line, new and improved parks, new zoning, and alternative financing tools to help pay for stormwater initiatives, air quality monitoring, and district energy.
