The way the civic infrastructure is developed in the city is by trying to accommodate the people needs in term of transportation media. Through the process of developing the best transportation places for the people many incidents happen that let to a best improvement of what it used to be before in comparison to now. The Grand Central Terminal and the Penn Station are two historically examples.
The instrumentality of Grand Central and all the open spaces that it has can serve a huge amount of people. Plus, I believed it gave a sense of scale which shows and the relationship between people and this terminal. The Grand Central has varies trains that goes to different routes some goes to north in south and some just goes to one way. This place has a massive sculpture that catch visitors’ attentions. The programmatic system welcome people to enjoy every place of Grand Central.
The Penn station design programs is like the Grand Central since this subway station also was a landmark and was designed to provide people access to more than one train line. Even though both train stations are overcrowded, the MTA transit staff are planning to do some changes improve the trains services to people.
In my opinion both trains station provides efficiency and sustainability to the NYC transportation. I think both are authentically beautiful. The story behind the Grand Central and the Penn Station is very interesting demonstrate the perseverance of a community to try to convert the chaotic transportation that New Yorkers been struggling with over many years into a perfect satisfactory movable place with less crowded.
