The 2015 Panama Canal Expansion approaches and markets will begin to flood streets and trash will become an epidemic in itself. There will be no room or time to transport rubbish out of the city and will instead be burned on spot. The markets will begin to bleed into stores and throughout the streets of the city, spawning from places like canal st and eventually overtaking the likes of Lexington ave. As this flow increases so will the demand for an infrastructure that takes both goods and their respective waste into account, unlike now where the two systems behave independently. This scenario sets up an architectural response with both public and infrastructural programs intertwined in one another.
