Smart Street Concept
The Smart Street Kiosk was designed by collaboration
between three Gateway Schools (Cooper Union, Polytechnic University
and Florida International University). Students worked together
to form a proposal to produce a system for pedestrians to access
public facilities, information, and other common needs in a compact,
accessable and efficient way. The basis of the project is the placement
of Smart Street structures at key locations, such as Rockefeller
Center and The World Trade Center, throughout New York City. These
structures encompass all of the pedestrians’ needs within
a compact area, making the streets more convenient and less cluttered.
While the citizens benefit, the city will too in that it will make
a profit from these structures with no initial investment by the
government. All money necessary to erect such structures will be
supplied by investors who also stand to make a large profit. The
concept of a Smart Street is revolutionary and promises to change
the way in which pedestrians view the streets. View student's present their design for Smart Street
