 Today, most cars spend the vast majority of their time not driving, but parked. In the future, space that was once used for cars will become available. But available for what? Public Square What if we could reclaim that space for pedestrians? What if we could do that incrementally? One space at a time. Public Square is a flexible, deployable and unitized. Each square contains the infrastructure for power, water, Wi-Fi, and even smart street technology. So what would you want to see on your street? Icons pop up. A bike stand. A place to relax. A place to get food. A place to play. A place to meet friends. More green space. A garden. A restroom. More sidewalk space. A grid is repeatedly redesigned. Public Square's different units link together to create an endless variety of spaces and programs. They provide the basic framework with interlocking plug-and-play connections to let cities and communities remake their streets. Public Square allows the street to change as the city changes. A digitally rendered intersection changes as car traffic wanes. Recleaning parking space has been successful in cities across the country. But those have been mostly small-scale, local and temporary. Public Square can scale that success by using a customizable, modular system that grows to create city-sized transformations. A system of simple parts that becomes so much more than its parts. A map is shown. As we move towards a driverless future, we want to make our city greener, more walkable, more bikeable, to create a network of new public spaces. With Public Square, we can transform our city one small square at a time. A hand-drawn 3D streetscape is explored. Public Square makes for easy installation. People mill about on the tree-lined sidewalk. Expanded bike share. And share the road with cars, buses and cyclists. Well-placed loading areas. Handy utility access. Convenient drop-off. A car-free street features a bike lane and open seating areas. Integrated lighting. Enhanced street life. Embedded communication infrastructure. Retail opportunities. And a transformed public ground. Public Square gives communities a way to rethink their cities. To incrementally transform their streets. And to realize their own vision for a driverless future. Public Square. FX Collaborative.
