Optimizing Urban Structure: Toward an Integrated New Urbanist Model
Submitted by logannash on Tue, 07/07/2009 - 3:16pm
Description:
Urban structuring must optimize access, exchange, retail, ‘Movement Economy’, and public transport from neighborhoods to regions and their centers. But modern impediments include America’s ‘Functional Classification’ road system, retail orthodoxy, and fragmented “neighborhood units” following the 1929 Perry diagram. After clarifying the challenges, presenters will propose urban structuring solutions including case studies and diagrams, followed by lively debate. Warning: children and small dogs may be frightened!
