| dcterms.abstract | This study aims to comprehensively analyze downtown Honolulu and apply this to a redevelopment plan that focuses on revitalizing Fort Street Mall. This project aims to transform underutilized areas into a vibrant, multifunctional district incorporating residential, commercial, cultural, and recreational spaces. The main goal of this revitalization effort is to understand the main problems growing in downtown Honolulu and apply policy and design changes that can address these problems. These problems include creating mixed-use neighborhoods that balance the expansion of housing, commercial areas, and open spaces while preserving the community’s historical heritage. This plan aims to encourage pedestrian-oriented designs that enhance downtown Honolulu’s connectivity, encourage foot traffic, support local businesses, and strengthen the sense of community and ownership of public spaces.To achieve the goal of this revitalization project, the spaces between existing buildings that are not currently being used to their full potential will be addressed. Addressing this will include the development of public space design and suggest policy changes. Policy changes will address buildings by creating new restrictions and suggestions for future buildings. Green spaces will be developed within public space design, creating interactive public spaces. By reclaiming vacant buildings, activating public spaces with neighborhood markets and cultural festivals, and upgrading public amenities, the plan aims to create an inclusive design accessible to everyone. The vision of the near-term future of Fort Street Mall is to create a lively, integrated urban center that respects its history while embracing modern policies and design. Through this redevelopment, the goal is to enhance the quality of life for new residents and visiting people, | |
