"Our project re-sources the L202 by transforming a car-oriented barrier into a regenerative corridor. Blue-green infrastructure restores ecological connectivity; collective memory and shared spaces strengthen socio-cultural identity; and adaptive reuse and sustainable mobility support climate mitigation. Regeneration emerges through ecosystem recovery, strengthening community life, and reducing traffic-related externalities."

Strategic map (1:10,000) illustrating the network of havens along the L202 and their role in reconnecting mobility, ecology, and communities at the regional scale.
Conceptual diagram showing how havens are linked by blue-green infrastructure, enabling ecological connectivity, sustainable mobility, and spaces of care along the L202.
