Car Park Design- David tittle, Design Review
The document discusses several design reviews for car park spaces. It provides the following key lessons:
1) Car parks should be designed as public amenity spaces where cars are allowed, not just utilitarian areas. Trees and informal, curved layouts help make them feel more park-like than regimented.
2) Using varied paving materials instead of just tarmac, as well as planting, can make car parks feel like "courtyard gardens" rather than just service areas.
3) When possible, car spaces should be tucked informally between buildings rather than in straight rows to avoid dominating the space. The goal is for cars not to define the area.

Presentation: the possibilities of emptiness
This document discusses approaches to preserving and interpreting industrial heritage sites. It argues that emphasis should shift from museumification and public sector management to greater integration into the wider landscape and private sector engagement. A multi-level approach is proposed that involves planning at both the policy level to establish an integrated industrial heritage landscape approach, and at the site management level through flexible utilization of resources and diverse revenue streams. The biggest challenge is how to go about retaining, preserving, protecting and interpreting industrial heritage sites assuming they are worth maintaining.

Neighborhood Greenways
Neighborhood Greenways are a network of existing low-traffic streets that are repurposed to encourage through bicycle and pedestrian trips. The goals are to keep auto traffic below 1,000 vehicles per day to create a comfortable environment for biking, add traffic calming measures to limit speeds to 20 mph, help people safely cross busy streets, and efficiently connect people to key destinations using residential streets. Common tools used for neighborhood greenways include signs, crosswalk improvements, traffic barriers, and speed bumps. The implementation process involves identifying routes, notifying residents, and holding community meetings to discuss plans and get feedback.
Planning & Urban Design Principles for Non-Planners
Much of the development that has occurred in Wisconsin and around the nation over the past 60 years has created a feeling of sameness from community to community. Our development pattern has separated uses from one another and catered to cars at the expense of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit. The New Urbanism promotes the creation and restoration of diverse, walkable, compact, vibrant mixed-use communities built with integrated housing, employment, shops, and schools. It is a revival of the lost art of "placemaking" to raise our quality of life and standard of living by creating neighborhoods, not just subdivisions, and building main streets, not just shopping malls.

Final report ThinkBike Chicago 2010
The document summarizes a workshop held in Chicago on September 23-24, 2010 to discuss ways to make the city more bike-friendly by applying aspects of the Dutch approach to cycling infrastructure and policies. Dutch experts and local stakeholders met in teams to survey the city by bike and discuss how streets, intersections, and neighborhoods could be improved. Key recommendations included implementing the three pillars of the Dutch cycling philosophy: that cycling should be joyful, perceived as safe, and supported by high-quality infrastructure. The workshop provided new concepts and strategies to incorporate cycling as an integral part of Chicago's long-term transportation planning.

The document discusses green infrastructure and green streets as an approach to managing stormwater. Green street practices like stormwater tree trenches, curb bump outs, and permeable pavement allow stormwater to infiltrate into the ground where it falls or to be captured for reuse. Green streets provide environmental benefits like improved water quality and air quality as well as economic benefits like construction cost savings and higher property values. The document highlights examples of green street projects in New Jersey cities like Camden and Hoboken and provides resources for learning more about designing and implementing green streets.

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.
