HIDDEN CITY

In studying the problems of modern cities, students and professors at the Harvard Graduate School of Design are exploring some of the possible uses of artificial hills and trying to see how these might relate to the more familiar kinds of buildings. A city in which all of the major windowless services are clustered in hills may also contain service mounds accommodated the main roads and facilities for parking, one could conceive of plans which would permit the development of adjacent pedestrian areas, possibly serviced by monorails, subways, electric minibuses and moving sidewalks.
