Urban Form and Design - Public Parks in Urban DesignAnuradha Mukherji
The document discusses the history of industrialization and its impacts on urban form and the environment. It describes how the rise of factories concentrated pollution and public health issues in cities. In response, the urban parks movement and garden city movement emerged to incorporate green space and nature into urban planning. The urban parks movement established the first urban parks like Central Park in New York to serve as "lungs" for dense industrial cities. The garden city concept proposed self-contained satellite communities that balanced urban and rural advantages through zoning, greenbelts, and mixed land uses. Letchworth Garden City in England was an early example of this planning approach.
This document provides a course review for an urban form and design planning course. It summarizes key concepts covered in the course, including Renaissance urban design principles from Michelangelo's Piazza Del Campidoglio in Rome, Haussmann's redesign of Paris, the urban parks movement led by Frederick Law Olmstead, Ebenezer Howard's Garden City ideas, Le Corbusier's modernist city planning principles, Jane Jacobs' work on urban neighborhoods, and new urbanism. It also features images related to these topics to illustrate important urban planning and design concepts discussed in the course.
The document discusses the concept of the neighborhood unit plan proposed by Clarence Perry in the 1920s. The key aspects of Perry's plan included:

History & Theory of Planning: Neoliberalism and Growth MachineAnuradha Mukherji
The document discusses the shift from conventional planning to encourage growth and development. It led cities to partner with private developers to redevelop areas like Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston into festival marketplaces catering to tourists and suburbanites. Over time, these areas shifted from local shops to national chains and lost their local identity. While initially successful in revitalizing cities, every city tried to copy this model, making such areas no longer unique. The redevelopment of Faneuil Hall is now facing pushback for focusing more on aesthetics than local businesses and diversity.

Khartoum, Sudan
02 November, 2019
Public streets in Khartoum city evolved in colonial era as a cross-grid networks, with high capacity for different mode of mobility that serve the high income people, official professionals and labors working in the administrative zone of the city. In contrast, current public streets become a source of air, waste, visual pollution and traffic congestion with law capacity for social accessibility and mobility. In addition, Irregular, dark dead-end and unpaved streets is among other reasons that makes streets a source of crimes and traffic accident.
On site observation shows that lack of appropriate sustainable plan, automobile growth, lack of eco-friendly vehicles, poor traffic management and inadequate side building architecture designs are among the reasons of current problematic situation. Traffic management analysis proves that claim, the ratios of Land Allocated to Streets (LAS), Intersection Density (ID) and Street Density (SD) indicate very low rate of street mobility and accessibility compared to other cities in developed world or even developing countries.
Rabid slum urbanization has led to uncontrolled urban sprawl, unplanned socio economic activities and a raise of different mode of mobility. On the other hand, city plans tend not to accommodate the new urban forms to enhance the sustainability of public streets, this is because streets had been planned as a pathway for private vehicles rather than a place for public good.
However, there are many embedded opportunities for tactical urbanism solutions. First, appropriate examination of social mobility and accessibility raises some long term solutions when plan for walkability and public transportation, due to the reality that public transport and walkable lanes has 12 time more capacity for mobility than car lanes, taking into consideration that 80% of trips to schools, markets, social visits and entertainment places are taken through public transportation or by walking, while most of city streets has a capacity to add 1-2 lanes at each side of the drive way. Furthermore, there is an opportunity to make streets eco-friendly place due to availability of resilient trees of Copperpod, solar energy resource and high capacity for low cost vernacular architecture and green streets designs. Nevertheless, in the time of financial resource scarcity, reaching viable public steers is obtainable through cost effective budget allocation, use of plastic road construction technology and incremental area based plans.
The addressed challenges and opportunities required a shift collaborative plan approach to create livable, ecofriendly, accessible and viable streets that would involve different city urban actors to brought a well-structured public street plan that works for public good.
This document discusses steps to transform commercial strips into mixed-use centers. It outlines zoning changes and infrastructure plans proposed by the town of Falmouth, Maine to redevelop an area along Route One. The zoning changes aim to increase density and mix of uses, while infrastructure plans involve underground utilities, improved pedestrian access, and funding through a tax increment financing district. The town seeks to create a more vibrant town center that encourages economic growth and limits sprawl.
The document summarizes a pilot program to promote mixed-use and upper-story residential development in downtown areas. It discusses challenges like regulatory barriers, lack of financing options, and perceptions that density leads to blight. The program provided development audits, model building analyses, and assistance to property owners in 3 pilot communities - Torrington, Waterbury, and Middletown. Key lessons included that mixed-use is a lost art, projects require public-private partnerships, and communities need education and technical assistance to support redevelopment. The document reviews pilot program outcomes like improved understanding of next steps and appreciation for public-private partnerships needed to achieve reuse of underutilized properties.
The document summarizes information presented at the third public open house for the REimagining Yonge Street environmental assessment study between Sheppard Avenue and Finch Avenue in Toronto. It provides an overview of the study process and design options presented, summarizes feedback received from previous public consultations, and outlines the evaluation criteria used to assess design options. Key points include that design Option 4B was preferred by most attendees as it balances the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and drivers while incorporating a landscaped median, and that there was support for integrating proposed public spaces at three locations along Yonge Street to enhance the public realm.
Capitol Hill Transit Oriented Development Open Housejseattle
The document summarizes a community forum held by Sound Transit to discuss plans for developing the area around the future Capitol Hill light rail station. It outlines proposals for the Nagle Extension to provide access for station operations and house the Broadway Farmers Market long-term. Limited underground parking was discussed for station area development with alternatives like shared parking, zip cars, bike parking, and transit incentives to reduce car usage. Next steps include further design work and ongoing community engagement.

This document discusses "rightsizing streets", also known as "road diets", which involves reallocating street space from vehicles to other uses like walking, biking, and public space. It provides examples of road diet projects that reduced crashes and injuries while increasing active transportation and public life. These case studies demonstrate that rightsizing streets can sometimes make roads safer with less car space, carry more people more efficiently, and slow speeds while shortening travel times by better utilizing underused car capacity. The document advocates for an approach that considers streets as public places in addition to mobility corridors in order to accommodate all users.
This document discusses "rightsizing streets", also known as "road diets", which involves reallocating street space from vehicles to other uses like walking, biking, and public spaces. It provides examples of road diet projects that reduced crashes and injuries while increasing active transportation and public life. The document advocates for a place-based approach to street design that considers the surrounding community rather than just traffic volumes. Road diets can make streets safer for multiple users and better environments for social and economic activity.
The Value of Place: Planning for Walkability in the Tigard TriangleRay Atkinson
The purpose of the Value of Place Project is to produce urban design recommendations that will improve the walkability, safety, comfort, and aesthetics of the built environment for those who live, work and do business in the Tigard Triangle.
Beach Access Plaza - Presentation at BHPOA on October 21, 2014Rose Klein
This is the report given by Hank Iori and John Signorelli on October 21,2014 at the Belle Harbor Property Owners Association meeting at PS114 in Belle Harbor, Queens, NY.
This document summarizes a panel discussion on the Grand Boulevard Initiative (GBI) which aims to revitalize the 43-mile El Camino Real corridor through collaboration between agencies and jurisdictions. The panelists discussed challenges along the corridor like existing auto-oriented conditions and jobs-housing imbalances. They explained the GBI vision is to create more people-friendly, walkable, and bikeable places along the corridor through precise plans adopted by cities. Panelists from Mountain View and San Mateo shared details of their El Camino Real precise plans which aim to prioritize affordable housing, open space, and multi-modal improvements through new development standards and guidelines.
The document discusses the concept of urban green infrastructure. It defines urban green infrastructure as the parts of a city that contribute to natural processes like keeping water and air clean and recycling waste. This includes parks, stream corridors, utility corridors, and vacant lands. These green spaces, if viewed as a single interconnected system, can help keep cities clean and provide recreational areas. The green infrastructure works with engineered systems to manage resources like energy, waste, and stormwater runoff in a balanced way, analogous to natural ecological processes.
I concept design presentation - expooilgaspegasgroupfzc
The document describes a two-day workshop to present and critique conceptual neighborhood designs for a new development in Kabul. Day 1 includes presentations of neighborhood modules and design critiques. Day 2 focuses on continuing the work session, a cultural facilities planning lesson, and reviewing an urban planning checklist. The document also provides details on proposed neighborhood designs, including street networks, open spaces, land uses, and 3D massings. The goal is to test design principles and create an exemplary model for future phases.
The document summarizes public consultation for alternatives to replace or modify the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto. It provides information on how people currently get downtown in Toronto and comparable traffic volumes. It then outlines objectives of the public consultation process and the first round of consultation, which engaged over 5,000 individuals. Key ideas presented to the public are summarized. The document also provides examples of other infrastructure projects and evaluates them based on criteria like age, costs, impacts. Finally, it outlines the development of alternative solutions for the Gardiner Expressway based on public input and lists the evaluation criteria for comparing the alternatives.
This document summarizes a presentation on the successful applications of project visualization. It includes two case studies from Connecticut: the Walk Bridge Program in Norwalk and the I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor Improvement Program. For both case studies, project visualizations were used during design and construction to facilitate collaboration, communicate plans to stakeholders, and reduce risks and costs. Visualizations allowed all parties to understand designs, evaluate construction approaches, and coordinate logistics. They also supported public outreach by illustrating planned and completed work. Overall, the document presents how visualizing projects from early stages can improve decision-making, engagement, and outcomes.

What is PhotoVoice?
Your neighbors and local business owners came
together and took photos of what they consider to be
the good, the bad, and the ugly about Airport Boulevard.
They wrote brief descriptions for why the photos matter
to them and collectively decided which photos and words
might create the most compelling presentation of the
community’s interest in Airport Boulevard redevelopment.
This presentation is intended to help you continue
the conversation about Airport Boulevard with your
neighbors, church groups, employees, and anyone
else you may know.

THE BAD
20. Most of Airport
Boulevard is hostile
for pedestrians
• Road design and a
lack of coordinated
signalization increases
frustration and potential
for conflicts
Photographer: Tony Velasco
20
21. Photographer: Lisa Wright, Sebastian Wren
21
Many places along Airport Boulevard are
not pedestrian friendly, accessible
• No sidewalk/ curb cuts without sidewalks
• Still enough people use them to create a
desire line
• Need to complete the sidewalks
• Need shade
22. Complex Intersections:
Does this really feel safe and inviting?
Photographer: Melissa Anderson
22
• Incomplete crosswalks, poor
sidewalk connectivity, a train
crossing, and a second
street/intersection with
50 feet of each other.
• Yet drivers, pedestrians,
bicyclists, elementary school
children have to negotiate
this intersection.
23. Photographer: Jill Csekitz

in the dumpster by
pedestrians are dispersed
by the wind along
the boulevard
36. Businesses need to be good neighbors
Photographer: Cindy Black
36
• This used car/tire
yard pays no
attention to its right
of way
• Barbed Wire: Appears
that they are more
interested in keeping
people on foot out
than inviting people in
37. Several ghost
"towns" haunt
Airport
Boulevard
Photographers: Tiff Ting, Charlotte Harris, Bryan Dore
37
• "For lease" signs and empty storefronts should not be the norm for the
sake of the local economy and neighborhood morale
• Redesign land use and “seas of asphalt” into places that can thrive
38. Crass commercial dominates
the public interest
Airport Redevelopment should balance:
• Rampant impervious cover
• Cars stacked on top of each other
• The lack of a designated sidewalk
• The signage
• The lack of vegetation or shade
• The overhead power lines
• The misuse of public property
Photographers: John Schwoeble, Jessica Galloway, Lisa Wright
38
39. Do we really
want a place
where art
is overpowered
by clutter?
Photographer: Jenny McWilliams
39
Need to work with
public utilities to see
if power lines can be

connectivity
Photographer: Sarah Talkington
40
41. This slide says it all
Photographer: John Schwoeble
41

public use between Airport
Boulevard and the rail
road tracks
• Less than attractive
implementation of power lines,
intersection, billboard signs
• Need a commitment
to maintenance

Where to go from here?
• Get ready for the Vision Workshop in September
• Does Airport Boulevard have portions (zones) that share common
characteristics?
• How should the roadway function and how do car lanes, bike lanes,
sidewalks, trees, etc fit together in the rights of way?
• Where are the best opportunities for redevelopment?
• What are the priority public infrastructure investments?
• What else is important to you?
• To give or share this presentation with your neighbor, employee, or
church group you can get the PowerPoint at Airportboulvard.com

"Tamale House hasn't changed one bit over the last decade since I've been coming here. That's what makes it so great!" The food is tasty and affordable.
Want: family friendly, good neighbors, successful businesses
Want: Safe access for all users.
Want: design to resolve parking issues while reducing requirements for a lot of land use as parking.
This should be a model for small pockets along the greenway
Maybe allow food vendors and adjacent local businesses co-located at these transit stops, pocket parks, etc.
A row of trees on both sides of the sidewalk provides even better shade
Need to strengthen connectivity between walkways and stores/businesses.
Need these all along the corridor
Need to strengthen connectivity between walkways and stores/businesses.
Intersections are a problem
Long distance between protected crossings
No crossing at transit stops.
Poor operations and traffic flow, e.g., no synchronized signals.
Wide road, with fast moving traffic.
Poor crossing connectivity.
Auto-only design and operations.
Directly across from Tamale House, a successful local business with parking problems.
Create safe pedestrian/bicycle access under the bridge and along both sides of the Koenig bridge
Also . . . No shade!
People are tell us where they need to walk, desire lines indicate use.
We should also like at opportunities to remove/reduce billboards, Improve lighting and safety. Increase shade and remove overhead lines
When we design for parking as if everyday is Christmas, this is what we get.
There is actually a creek under this parking lot.
Is that really a sidewalk?
Participant absent
Who saw the bus stop before the Billboard sign?
Land use: warehouse building and cars, lots of cars
