Dallas Connected City Challenge: Hyper Density Hyper Landscape

As part of the winning team for The Connected City Design Challenge, JLP+D collaborated with Stoss and SHoP Architects on Hyper Density Hyper Landscape, a design proposal for three new neighborhoods with new cultural attractions, transportation infrastructure, and public spaces on 176 acres of underutilized land near downtown Dallas. The design connects two essential Dallas assets - the Trinity River Corridor and a revitalizing urban core - and incorporates high-density mixed-use development with lush green spaces and natural features. JLP+D provided industry sector growth projections, real estate and economic analysis, and programming and project phasing recommendations. By proposing vibrant new neighborhoods and resilient ecological features on underutilized urban land and among disconnected investment nodes, the plan builds on development momentum, strengthens connections between downtown’s best assets, and reinforces the relationship between the vibrant city life and the unique natural heritage of Dallas.
