Applied geospatial analytics and 3D modeling to redevelop Reading Viaduct into an urban rail park. The site is located This is a 300 foot long, 50-foot wide section of land cut 30 feet below grade within the West Callowhill and Chinatown neighborhoods in Philadelphia. The core idea of the project was to integrate nature and innovative technology into Philadelphia’s society to inspire the regenerative growth of it’s cultural, economic, and physical environments. Our team had core sustainability metrics that involved cleaning the air, reusing water in multiple fashions, restore vegetation, and exploring bioremediation solutions. Through the use of CityEngine and ArcMap, I was successful in generating sustainability reports that provided essential data to my team to conduct sustainability metrics and obtain our goals set.
