The document provides a history of Santa Fe, New Mexico from its founding in the late 16th century to recent redevelopment projects in the 2000s. It focuses on redeveloping Saint Michael's Drive and outlines the project objectives, which include collecting and integrating data on the area, identifying local issues and preferences through surveys, establishing indicators to assess current and future designs, and visualizing the impacts of design choices. Survey results found a lack of community spaces, poor pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and a need for more entertainment and retail. Common themes from the charrette and surveys were incorporated into indicators to guide redevelopment, such as increasing trees, bikes lanes, parks and on-street parking.
The 7th Five Year Plan aimed to continue accelerating economic growth while reducing poverty and income disparities. Key goals included decentralizing planning, generating employment, improving agriculture production, and expanding infrastructure like electricity and irrigation. The Planning Commission, led by Rajiv Gandhi as chairman, expected employment and poverty reduction rates to increase significantly. Investments in education, health, and technology were also prioritized to develop human resources across India. The plan aimed to finance development through modest domestic savings and investment while maintaining a sustainable debt ratio. Its overall goal was removing poverty and building a self-reliant modern society through effective implementation and improving productivity.
The document summarizes the findings of a community design charrette held in Starkville, Mississippi in February/March 2011. It notes that the primary trade area population is expected to grow modestly by 2015 but is currently leaking $60.7 million in sales annually. Several recommendations are provided to better connect customers to downtown Starkville and capture more regional traffic, including launching an aggressive marketing strategy highlighting Starkville's successes. Key areas and districts are identified for potential development, along with infrastructure, civic, and branding strategies.
The document summarizes an AIA SDAT process to develop recommendations for strengthening the Court Avenue corridor in Jeffersonville, IN. A team of 6 professionals toured the area, held stakeholder meetings, and brainstormed designs over 3 days. They heard feedback that the corridor feels neglected, unsafe for all users, and empty after 5pm. The team analyzed growth opportunities based on demographics, economic factors, and urban design. Their presentation outlined designing a healthy corridor with best practices for mobility, including pedestrian safety treatments, bike infrastructure, stormwater management, and phased improvements. Immediate next steps included developing an action plan and applying low-cost safety measures.
"Strengthening the City's Civic Spine: The Future of Court Avenue," is the final presentation of the American Institute of Architects Sustainable Design Assessment Team to the community of Jeffersonville, Indiana. A national team of volunteer professionals worked with the community through a 3-day public process to produce a community-driven strategy for the area.
This document discusses the economic benefits of placemaking and complete streets. Placemaking creates great public spaces that improve quality of life and economic development by attracting businesses and talent. Complete streets that accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists and public transit alongside vehicles make communities more livable and boost economic indicators like property values, retail sales, and development. Case studies show projects that converted roads to be more multimodal generated hundreds of millions in economic output and private investment. Walkable communities with good public spaces are shown to have higher property values.
