This document reviews transportation and infrastructure improvements as a strategy for urban revitalization. It discusses how transportation projects are implemented in public spaces and often precede private redevelopment. Case studies of projects in Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale show how improvements to walkability, transit access, and aesthetics can spur redevelopment. Success is measured through metrics like increased density, mobility, and livability. Transportation investments can effectively encourage economic development when planned and executed as part of a comprehensive revitalization strategy.
This document provides a summary and analysis of the original Grandpont redevelopment scheme designed by Michael White. It begins with an introduction to the site located in Oxford, England and an analysis of the site which identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The original design scheme is then critically evaluated based on responsive environments, morphology, townscape and imageability. Some key weaknesses identified include large building blocks, lack of variety, and separation of cars and pedestrians. The document proposes 14 design actions to address issues in the original scheme by improving access points, defining private and public spaces, and allocating active and inactive edges. The amended design scheme will seek to improve on the original by employing urban design theories analyzed throughout the document.
GROWING THROUGH TRANSIT: a plan for transit oriented development in downtown ...John-Mark Palacios
This document provides a plan for transit-oriented development in downtown Fort Lauderdale centered around a proposed passenger rail station on the Florida East Coast Railway line. It begins with an introduction to the study area and context, then discusses transit-oriented development principles. An analysis of the existing conditions finds strengths in connectivity and resources but also opportunities to improve walkability and reduce car dependency. Guiding principles call for improving walkability, celebrating resources, increasing density affordably, and reducing car usage. The plan proposes a vision for the study area and site with a conceptual redevelopment emphasizing a multi-modal, mixed-use environment to better connect the area.

This document summarizes issues and opportunities for improving the Seventh and Eighth Street corridor in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. It identifies three segments of the corridor and focuses on the segment between Market and Harrison Streets, which experiences high traffic volumes, speeds, and rates of pedestrian injury collisions. The document outlines the project's objectives to improve pedestrian conditions and safety, reduce crossing distances, and upgrade the public realm and landscaping, particularly on Seventh Street as a designated "green connector" street. Tradeoffs will be required due to the limited right-of-way. Proposed design alternatives aim to balance priorities like pedestrian comfort and traffic flow.
The document outlines the goals and process of developing a pedestrian facilities plan for the City of Lebanon. The plan aims to respond to needs identified in walkability surveys, establish broad goals based on land use, and devise fair processes. The process involves analyzing land use data, creating half-mile buffers around residential and commercial areas, educational and recreational facilities, and identifying focus areas where pedestrian facilities would see the most use by connecting housing to businesses and transit hubs. One such focus area is Maple Hill to Carver Hill, where proposed sidewalk improvements would link neighborhoods to commercial areas and the Music City Star rail station.

The proposal argues that CD-21 will financially benefit Kelowna through new businesses and residents while fostering a lively community experience.
This scenario, called "Trend: Staying the Course", models a future where current growth, transportation, and environmental policies continue unchanged. New development sprawls to the edges of cities, consuming farmland. Most development depends on cars, worsening traffic. Sea level rise gradually impacts more low-lying areas. Transit investment is low, and most trips are by car. Housing and transportation costs rise as walkable areas become scarce and expensive. Obesity increases as areas are less walkable. Farmland and natural areas decline while roads and infrastructure expand.
This document provides an overview of four land use and transportation scenarios for Southeast Florida through the year 2060. The scenarios differ in how and where population growth is accommodated, prioritization of transit investments, and adaptation to sea level rise. Scenario maps show proposed walkable, transit-oriented development areas and corridors intended to concentrate growth and support multimodal transportation options. The scenarios also illustrate differences in addressing issues like climate vulnerability, residential density, and reinvestment in historic coastal communities.

Placemaking, Innovation, and Planning: Dublin 8kieran rose
The document discusses placemaking and innovation in Dublin 8, known as the Liberties. It notes that improving quality of place is crucial for economic success and attracting investment. Significant progress has been made through new parks, public realm improvements, and resolving derelict sites. However, further improvements are needed, such as completing greening strategies, improving key vacant and dilapidated sites, adding street trees and bike stations. Recommendations include prioritizing redevelopment of large vacant sites, removing traffic lanes from High Street, and improving pedestrian connectivity throughout the area. Overall, the Liberties has great potential as a center for innovation but requires additional public domain upgrades to realize its economic and social benefits.
The document discusses brownfield sites, which are abandoned or underused former industrial and commercial properties that may be contaminated. Redeveloping brownfields has several advantages over developing undeveloped greenfield sites, including utilizing existing infrastructure, receiving government funding for cleanup, productively reusing idle properties, and cleaning up contaminated land. Brownfield redevelopment requires environmental assessment and remediation of contamination, which can involve capping contaminated soil. Federal and state funding helps pay for assessment and cleanup. Developers are also protected from full liability for pre-existing contamination through brownfield legislation. Examples of successful brownfield redevelopments in Southwestern Pennsylvania are provided.
The document proposes transforming a 3km stretch along Toronto's waterfront by converting an existing elevated highway into a new mixed-use neighborhood called THE GAR. It involves reconfiguring the landscape around the highway to incorporate public spaces, parks, and new development. The proposal aims to reconnect disconnected neighborhoods by creating a continuous public space network and improving north-south connections across the rail corridor. It outlines phases to gradually reduce reliance on the highway by adding pedestrian and transit routes over time.
The document examines land use and development opportunities for Schermerhorn and Livingston Streets in Brooklyn. Currently, the area is dominated by parking lots and garages that do not create an appealing streetscape. There are opportunities to convert these spaces into more pedestrian-friendly areas with trees and greenery. The area contains municipal buildings, commercial offices, academic institutions, and some residences. City plans call for rezoning to build new Class A office buildings to attract companies and higher-paying jobs. Residential and retail development is also planned to accommodate population growth. Improving public transit access and below-ground transfers could increase ridership through the area.
This document proposes improving urban resilience and housing renewal in Junglighat Colony, Port Blair. It discusses the history of the area and damage from the tsunami. The proposal is to develop the 38.1 acre area into an urban sub-node with smart, climate resilient buildings and a population with diversity in age, income, class and creed. This would catalyze commercial and institutional development. Key conditions include environmental and geological studies, establishing maximum sea level rise, and building a sea wall and marine drive for protection from future tsunamis at an estimated total cost of 953.53 crore rupees.
Daniel Power graduated from the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment with a Master of Landscape Architecture in 2012. He has experience with several redevelopment and planning projects focused on sustainable and community-driven design. One project involved remediating and redeveloping a former industrial site in Saginaw, Michigan into a business park that incorporates the site's history and ecology. Another analyzed variables influencing landscape care in vacant Detroit neighborhoods to identify opportunities for stabilization. A third provided a regional ecological analysis and conceptual designs to guide sustainable neighborhood development in legacy cities. Additionally, Daniel designed an accessible athletic complex and nature trail for Saline High School that celebrates the site's cultural and environmental context.
The document provides details on the proposed masterplan for redeveloping the Seafield site in Edinburgh. It includes an analysis of the existing site and context, as well as proposed land uses and elements for the new development called "The Tide". The key elements proposed include a lighthouse auditorium as a focal point, residential and commercial dock-style buildings, restaurants and bars, a watersports center, and community gardens. The development aims to create a mixed-use destination for leisure, living, and working that capitalizes on Edinburgh's tourism industry and reputation for the arts.
The document describes 4 scenarios for future growth and development in Southeast Florida through 2060:
1) Trend/Business as Usual - Development continues at urban edges, leading to traffic issues and loss of farmland. Sea level rise impacts low-lying areas.
2) Plan 1/Exurban Expansion - Development is pushed further out, causing more farmland and environmental land loss in northern counties. New highways are built but don't solve traffic issues.
3) Plan 2/Strategic Interventions - Not described.
4) Plan 3/Next Gen Region - Not described.
The document provides maps and descriptions of the Trend and Plan 1 scenarios. It notes
Irish Hills Ranch is a proposed horizontal mixed-use TOD project in San Luis Obispo, California. The project offers a mix of uses ranging from office, retail/restaurant, residential, conservation/open space, and parks.
This document summarizes the existing conditions and development potential of three districts - the Commercial Bayfront, Library, and Old Town districts - that are part of the Eureka Waterfront Specific Plan area. In the Commercial Bayfront district, which includes the waterfront north of 1st street, over 50% of the land is currently vacant or underutilized, providing significant potential for new development and jobs. The Library district is primarily residential but also contains some small offices and the Humboldt county library. Both districts' development is governed by the local coastal program and general plan, which designate land uses and floor area ratios to encourage a mix of uses while maintaining neighborhood character.
This document provides comments from the Sierra Club Loma Prieta Chapter on the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Diridon Station Area Plan in San Jose, California. The Sierra Club expresses concerns about impacts on land use, transportation, air quality, greenhouse gases, biological resources, and hydrology. Specific recommendations are provided in each of these six areas. Key recommendations include focusing the plan more on housing near transit rather than intense commercial development, reducing parking and emphasizing pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure to reduce car traffic, and restoring riparian corridors to reduce flooding risks.
