The Western Edge
Traversing the Agricultural Edge
Urban to rural edge typologies reflect that development is encroaching on agriculture land, the four specific sites analyzed show a similarity in this gradient.
Rural

Rural: Suburban

Proposed Conditions
Decentralized Sewage Hubs Within Boundaries of Green Belt
Current and Proposed Conditions
Urban sprawl is encroaching on the agricultural edge of the city when densification could be a way of containing the spread of population. The Green Belt is a way to retain this sprawl.
Additionally the parts of the city near the agricultual edge are not connected to the main centralized sewage system. The proposed Green Belt would contain decentralized sewage treatment hubs to address the unconnected area.

System Movement Analysis
Sewage is moved toward green belt to decentralized sewage treatment hubs. Water is moved around the Green Belt watering connected orchards. Trees are moved around the Green Belt and inward toward the city. Food from chards is moved in towards the city.
