b'Hakata Port Our aim is to fully integrate the city and Hakata Port through the introduction of new public spaces, cultural facilities and transport networks. Activated by mixed-use precincts, the new The Public Waterfront public waterfront will extend Fukuoka to the harbour edge. A new city centre that compliments the existing business centres is created beside the raised freeway and on reclaimed land that extends the city further into the harbour. This fronts a new domestic ferry terminal and acts as a catalyst for other development around it. The raised roadwayis retained and harnessed as the viaduct for a new suspended train system that connects this new precinct to the rest of Fukuoka. Some existing large buildings that act as a barrier between the city and the Cynthia Herkrath harbour are removed, and a landscaped axis is created that visually and spatially connects Rossana Ho the existing central city to the water. The space below this viaduct is landscaped as a quiet Li Sidi and open space and is part of an expanded green network that adds to the limited amount of Jin Yuxiang public outdoor space that is currently available in the city. Additional parkland is provided as a small headland park and as a large cultural park on the western edge of the peninsular.Distance from city centres : Tenjin and HakataLack of connection to mass transit network133143Urban design framework Access to waters edge is limited and undesirableMUDD 24 - Urban Gateways | Urban Networks - Fukuoka Fukuoka design 8pt.indd 20 26/11/2019 5:06:58 PM'
