The document discusses the Better Block project in Denver which aims to temporarily transform public spaces to demonstrate how pedestrian infrastructure, art, culture and businesses can improve areas. It does this through low-cost demonstrations using pop-up shops, street furniture and activities for one day. The goal is to inspire permanent changes. It also highlights the positive impacts of a previous Better Block project in Dallas, noting how it led to a coffee shop opening, more local shopping, and renovations that increased property values and community use of public spaces.

Recreation spaces
This document discusses public recreation spaces, including definitions of public space, recreation, and various typologies of open spaces. It provides examples of successful open spaces like Chor Bazaar in Mumbai, noting factors like location, accessibility, and how they integrate different social and cultural groups. Benefits of open spaces discussed include social, health, and urban design impacts. The document argues that streets can also serve as public places when designed to facilitate community and different types of interactions between people.
What a Difference a Place Makes
Place matters for health! A growing body of research over the last several decades has shown the connections between place and health. From obesity and chronic disease to depression, social isolation, or increased exposure to environmental toxins and pollutants, a person’s zip code can be a more reliable determinant of health than their genetic code.
In 2016, Project for Public Spaces compiled a report of peer-reviewed research that found key factors linking pubic spaces and peoples’ health. And public spaces are more than just parks and plazas – our streets represent the largest area of public space a community has!
This webinar will introduce participants to the placemaking process, the research behind the findings linking place and health, and how to envision streets as places – not just their function in transporting people and goods, but the vital role they play in animating the social and economic life of communities.
New Urbanism: Just... performs...better
New Urbanism (NU) is an approach to urban planning and community design that promotes walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods as an alternative to low-density, automobile-dependent development. The document outlines the history and principles of NU, from traditional communities (Community 1.0) to modern sprawling suburbs (Community 2.0) to NU principles emphasizing connectivity, mixed uses, and multimodal transportation (Community 3.0). Research shows NU neighborhoods reduce driving and transportation costs compared to auto-oriented suburban development.
Public Realm In Cities
This document discusses the public realm in cities. It defines public realm as shared communal space like parks, plazas, pathways, and streets. Public spaces influence city form and function through daily community interactions. The aim of public realm is for individuals to experience place together as a community, either directly or indirectly participating in public life. Examples of public realm components discussed include streets, parks, plazas, and art in public spaces. Properties like imageability, accessibility, meaning, continuity, choice, and flexibility are important to planning and designing liveable public spaces.
Urban open spaces
This document discusses different types of urban open spaces and their importance. It describes parks, greens, playgrounds, plazas, squares, streets, and waterways. Parks are natural areas for recreation surrounded by the city on one side and open land on others. Greens are smaller open spaces surrounded by the city for recreation, with lawns and trees. Playgrounds are open spaces designed for children near residential areas with equipment and sand. Plazas and squares are civic spaces surrounded by buildings for events, with pavement and optional trees. Streets connect spaces and can be pedestrian paths. Waterways include natural and manmade bodies of water providing recreation and habitat. Good open spaces have qualities like distinctiveness, accessibility, safety,

#76 Good Urbanism – Fronting the Public Right of Way - BohnProject for Public Spaces & National Center for Biking and Walking
This document summarizes a presentation on good urbanism and fronting the public right of way. It includes:
1) An overview of the presentation given by Dr. Suja Lowenthal on the City of Long Beach's process to create a downtown plan through extensive community visioning and input. This resulted in design principles and an increased focus on walkability.
2) A description of the Long Beach visioning process led by Michael Bohn, which included community workshops and comparative city studies to create a vision statement and preliminary design concepts.
3) The presentation was part of a larger event on good urbanism and fronting the public right of way, with the third presenter being Stephanie Reich fromActive Living Redwood
This document discusses tools and strategies for promoting active living through community planning and design. It outlines how land use, transportation, parks and recreation can encourage walking, biking and physical activity. Specific policies and projects are mentioned, including complete streets, traffic calming, safe routes to school and compact development. Resources for additional information on active living and community design are provided.
Public Realm as Sustainable Design
The document discusses the public realm as sustainable design. It defines the public realm as any accessible space like parks, plazas, and streets. Historically, public open spaces became integral to city planning in the 1800s-1930s as a reaction to overcrowded cities. Sustainable design considers social, economic, and environmental factors. Examples of sustainable public spaces given are Central Park in New York and parks in Sydney post-Olympics. Rating systems can be used to measure sustainability but should not override good design. Equal access to green space improves quality of life.

Design Matters: Six Questions, Many Answers
Six questions. So many answers! Meet national leaders from three collaborative design disciplines -- American Institute of Architects, American Society of Landscape Architects and American Planning Association -- and see how each tackles the same six questions. Hear how they meet similar design challenges but with different values and priorities for why design matters. A series of three questions will be addressed by the panel to begin the discussion, and then the audience will expand the conversation by posing additional quesitons and issues that they face.

Jan Gehl. Liveable Cities for the 21st Century
This document discusses people-oriented city planning strategies proposed by Jan Gehl, an urban design professor. Over decades of research, Gehl has advocated for prioritizing public spaces and public life in cities. His work shows that cities that focus on pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation over private vehicles create livelier, more attractive, and sustainable urban environments where people are more active and social. Examples of "reconquered cities" like Copenhagen demonstrate how urban design changes have successfully shifted priorities from cars to people.

Plan East Tennessee (PlanET) is a regional partnership that conducted a 3-year planning process to address challenges around jobs, housing, transportation, the environment and community health for a 5-county area in East Tennessee projected to grow by 300,000 people over 30 years. A health impact assessment examined scenarios for accommodating this growth and found that concentrating development in existing cities and towns as well as new mixed-use centers would be healthier than dispersed or highway-oriented growth. Recent progress includes expanding parks and trails, brownfields redevelopment, and increased collaboration between planning and public health organizations, though ongoing challenges include developing infrastructure affordably across urban and rural divides. Public health experts argue that factors like urban design, zoning, access toHousing Opportunity 2014 - Intergenerational Living: Housing and Communities ...

The Next Big Thing: Workshop Outcomes
The Next Big Thing Urbanism Workshop was an initiative to take previous design and community development efforts of Glass House Collective to the next level.
During a two-day intensive design workshop, over 100 workshop participants proposed ways to improve Glass Street while maintaining a realistic attitude about both big and small moves that, collectively, could begin to enhance the prospects for the neighborhood and its citizens.
Teams were asked to consider how improved urbanism could have a positive impact on various aspects of the neighborhood, including business viability, quality public spaces, access to services, improved housing options, increased public safety, and opportunities for the community to engage and contribute.
Designs needed to leverage the variety of assets that already exist in the community including physical places, existing businesses, individuals, organizations, previous accomplishments, and sections of the built environment.
What resulted were dozens of creative, realistic, and scalable urban revitalization tactics for improving residential, commercial, and public space within a 5 minute walk radius surrounding historic Glass Street, each contributing to the revitalization effort already underway. Designs specifically addressed implementation within 1 month, 1 year, 3 year time frames, prioritizing lighter, quicker, and cheaper techniques.
While not all the proposals generated will be implemented as designed, they will be the basis of successive small neighborhood workshops to explore specific concepts, projects, and implementation tactics reflecting the residential, commercial, and public space needs of the Glass Street community. Glass House Collective will work with the neighborhood to adapt designs, ultimately using a bunch of little things to create the next big thing on the street.
Using the lenses that Glass House Collective sees their work through, the Outcomes of The Next Big Thing Urbanism Workshop have been organized into three categories:
• Here Because We Love It Here, proposals focused on Creative Placemaking
• Bringing Life Back to Glass Street, proposals focused on Feet on the Streets
• The Next Big Thing, proposals focused on New Partnerships
Not all proposals developed during the workshop are included in this document; however, those that most closely meet the mission of Glass House Collective have been compiled and described in the pages that follow. The appendix lists all project proposals from each team.

Manufactured housing provides affordable housing for about 18 million people in 8 million homes, though over 20% of units were built before 1976 standards. Exclusion through zoning and stigma in communities persists. Manufactured homes cost around half as much per square foot as site-built homes, due to precision construction with little waste. Replacing older pre-1976 manufactured homes with new energy efficient models can save homeowners $1800 annually in utilities and reduce carbon emissions by 2.25 tons per year, while also improving health issues.Housing Opportunity 2014 - In Pursuit of the Good Life: The Role of Housing i...
