Higher volumes of transportation of commercial goods, coupled with the growth of urban spaces both increases the need to bring these goods to cities, but also pushes infrastructures that provide them further away. Grand centralized transportation nodes have moved away from urban spaces because of their square footage requirements.  In New York, the Hudson River docks lining along the west side of Manhattan slowly moved to the exterior of the city eventually becoming Port Elizabeth in New Jersey. Here we propose an interstitial infrastructure that deals with the centralized yet exterior location of transportation nodes such as Port Elizabeth and highly dense and continuously growing urban spaces.
