Urban planners have long been advocating the benefits of building dense retail and housing complexes around public transportation hubs. To fully justify this idea, designers Chad Kellogg and Matt Bowles of AMLGM have proposed a mixed use transportation hub called the ‘Urban Alloy Towers’. The towers will allow commuters to have easy access to rail links leading straight into Manhattan’s midtown and downtown business districts.
The proposed structure would be developed at the intersection of the Long Island Railroad and MTA 7 Train in the New York City borough of Queens.
