Broadway, one of New York City’s most celebrated streets, develops a special character as it wends uptown; it becomes a tree-lined boulevard unlike any other in the city, known as Broadway Malls. The malls are a collection of twenty-foot wide planted medians that separate north and south bound lanes of traffic. The 5-mile stretch, under administration by the Broadway Mall Association, contributes over 10 ½ acres of parkland to the city, 5 ½ of which is fully planted. Beyond an extensive tree canopy, each mall provides public space for sitting and socializing—offering benches to rest one’s feet after shopping or a place to meet friends for a daily dose of coffee and gossip. In  the past decades however, the Broadway Malls had become run down, and in need of a refresh, which is where Future Green came in. Rather than proposing a pre-determined plan, Future Green Studio presented a loose framework of strategies that could be phased over time and that focused on the park’s essential ecological components - soil, plants, water, and wildlife - overlaid with the element of our urban social lives. This approach, which is grounded in hands-on experience with challenging sites, builds a stronger ecological system along the entire length of the Broadway Malls while enhancing engagement with this historic parkway. While each mall has a distinct character and microclimate and planting scheme, there are six consistent design typologies the framework incorporates that are based on canopy height, soil depth, human accessibility, sun levels, and urban elements including subway grates. The typologies offered opportunity for tweaking based on the location of each mall, while also reading as a part of a larger designed system. The benefits of this renovation focus primarily on ecological gains, but have also significantly benefited the experience for human occupants in the form of pollution mitigation, increased noise buffering, heat island reduction and offering moments of rest for pedestrians.  The density of planting will be a visual cue that the Broadway Malls is a lush component of the urban forest that enhances everyday life on the upper west side of Manhattan.
