and terraced apartments (3) are laid out within a tight gridiron
road network, allowing residents to easily access surrounding
shops, offices, transit and open space by foot or bicycle.
Community gardens (4), and a playfield (5), that doubles as
a drainage basin, provide places for public recreation. The
Brentwood Mall site (6) includes the Central Physical Plant
(7) where efficient and clean-air technology, such as fuel
cells and heat pumps, provide energy, heat and electricity
to the district. The open space to the south is maintained
as the ecological infrastructure headquarters of the site.
Here, treatment ponds (8), constructed wetlands (9), and a
solar aquatic greenhouse (10) filter, purify, and recycle
urban runoff and waste into a productive energy source.
