masterplan prelim

The adjacency plan depicts the relative relationships that I would like to explore, while I would rather eliminate the entire core, it seems in the best interest to keep certain buildings (i.e. any historic or relatively high density office spaces) for pragmatic reasons.
One of the main items I would like to explore is the relationship of the green areas to the different areas in the masterplan (i.e. large recreational area of residential area vs. small greenspace for the office/govt area). The greenspace would also serve as transitional/connections due to the roadways being converted into greenspace (major traffic would be diverted below ground with minimal interactions for street cars).
Additionally, I would purpose the museum of art to be relocated to the riverfront, for maxium accessibility and visibility in the downtown corridor.
The residential component would be high density, based on the demographic numbers from the previous posting, there is a large void of inhabitants in the downtown - I would purpose to add between 3500-4000 inhabitants in the core area.
