Every Transit-oriented Development (TOD) is unique in its response to surrounding context and city-wide goals and needs. Planning TOD must consider designing inclusive communities that meet the needs of a range of age and income groups as socio-, cultural-, economic and ecological concerns are integrated with principles of sustainable planning and design. In this presentation, Marcelo shared his expertise and experience on designing previously successful transit-oriented developments in Edmonton while providing insightful direction and foresight on the working model for TOD in Edmonton, and how it can be successfully implemented and improved in the future.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

‡ To be operated by“The Light”, a specialist
digital cinema provider
‡ Flexible use for films,conferences and other
local events will ensure its long term viability
Environmental credentials
The development will feature a range of
modern environmental features to help reduce
the operating carbon footprint:
‡ Using a sustainable location which is well
served by public transport and has easy
access for local pedestrian traffic will reduce
food miles for car users – a benefit which will
be lost with any out-of-centre store
‡ A combined heat and power plant to
increase energy efficiency and reduce waste
will be incorporated
‡ Grey water will be recycled to reduce the
use of local water supplies
‡ Widespread use of wall and roof glazing will
reduce the need for artificial lighting during
the day and contributes to a reduction in
heating costs
‡ Natural ventilation will be provided to
reduce reliance on mechanical ventilation
systems
‡ Low energy lighting at night will improve
energy efficiency.

INTRODUCTIO
N
i.iii
ACHIEVING QUALITY DEVELOPMENT
Responsive Methods
During the past 10 years
there
has been an increase in the demand
for improving the urban quality
of developments
from
a range of
stakeholders. This
increase
of general interest in
the
issue
of
improving urban quality
arises because communities want better
places to
live, developers
are
pursuing a better product and local
authorities want to
be associated with better decisions.
This trend is reflected in the production of this brief through the use
of ‘responsive methods’ in
achieving quality
development (Figure
i.ii) The following methods have inform
ed the content and output of
this brief:
•
Collaborative
stakeholder workshops
that include
local
community
representatives, business
people
and
local
authority officers;
•
The
development of a
language
of design
through
the
production of an outline coding system
to
secure
base-line
urban qualities irrespective of future
changes in
the master
plan; and
•
An
acknowledgement that any
development needs
to
contribute
to
the future
profile of Ashford.

UPPER TERRACE, EUREKA PARK, ASHFORD
INTRODUCTION
i.i
UNLOCKING POTENTIAL
The combination of good transport networks, the current ability to
attract a broad range of mixed uses and the future business growth
potential of the town confirms the Government’s interest in using
Ashford as a pilot model for sustainable development.
The natural attributes of Ashford lie in its location within a
predominantly rural sub-regional hinterland with access to large
distinctive and dramatic landscapes such as the chalk down land of
the North Downs, Wealdon Greensand and Low Wealdon together
with a variety of designated Countryside Character Areas. At a local
spatial scale the landscape includes gently undulating grassland
with defined field patterns within an open aspect. Local landmarks
such as the golf course, lakes and spine road provide the Upper
Terrace site with landscape components within which distinctive
development could occur.
Sustainable Communities
The UK Government’s Sustainable Communities Programme for
the South East identifies the need to:
•
Promote smart growth and sustainable
patterns of
development, in order to maximise the benefit gained from
scarce resources and ensure quality of life for all in the
region and also for future generations;
•
Promote the location as the gateway to continental Europe
attracting a high proportion of the UK’s inward investment
and requiring infrastructure for international, national and
local travel; and
•
Protect the diverse nature and character of the South East
and high quality of its countryside, whilst respecting the
central role of towns in attracting inward investment (ODPM
2003).
The Development Brief acknowledges that these sustainable
development objectives are achievable by:
• Promoting ‘smart growth’ by using design and development
principles that can accommodate change;
• Promoting Eureka Park as a contributor to the future profile
of Ashford as an important strategic location; and
• Promoting distinctive high quality development through the
optimization of local resources and attributes.

UPPER TERRACE, EUREKA PARK, ASHFORD
INTRODUCTION
i.i UNLOCKING POTENTIAL
Global Business and Transportation Resources
The South East is the UK’s largest region covering more than 19,000
sq. km with an estimated population of about 8.1 million (13.5% of
the UK total) making up some 3 million households. Its regional
economy accounts for more than 15% of the UK’s GDP, the largest
share of any of the English regions, and providing 3.7 million jobs
(ODPM 2003).
Upper Terrace, Eureka Park is located approximately a mile to the
northwest of Ashford centre adjacent to the M20 motorway and in the
Kennington district of the borough. Ashford’s strategic importance
in the South East region is due to excellent road connections and
the International Rail Station. These can be considered as a global
resource whereby:
• Existing transportation networks provide convenient and
rapid connections to London, Paris and Brussels.
• In 2007 the high-speed rail link will secure the town’s
strategic importance as a satellite growth area for London
and a gateway to and from Europe.
• Within 60 minutes by road are the pre-eminent global and
European airport hubs of Gatwick and Heathrow, each with
capacity for further growth in freight trade and passenger
numbers.
The existing integration of Ashford into a global network provides
the town with an enviable location profile for attracting inward
investment from a range of globally orientated high-tech information
based companies, clean-manufacturing operators and ‘just-in-time’
production processes (Figure i.i).
Regional and Local Attributes
“The geographical location of Ashford has been historically a
dominant factor in the town’s development, an attribute that is likely
to shape the future of the town” (www.ashford.gov.uk 24 11 04).
The close proximity of Eureka Park to Junction 9 of the M20 and
within 10 minutes of Ashford International Rail Station means that
the Upper Terrace site can contribute to Ashford’s strategic regional
importance (Figure i.i). The importance of Ashford is recognised by
the UK Government with the town being included in: the Sustainable
Communities Plan; the Regional Planning Guidance for the South
East region; and, the Kent Structure Plan.
Ashford’s established transportation network provides the town with
a strategic regional role for employment whilst locally it has enabled
the integration of other uses such as residential, recreation and
leisure.
