Document Summary
Keypoints & questions: the process of analysis. Reflect back on trashcan example- the role of problem identification. Properly formulating the question is a key skill. See the symptoms - but we need to understand the cause. Could be congestion in the core or something else. In theory, hov lanes will encourage less single driver vehicle. The impeccable science approach often not possible in a planning context even a rational sequence of inquiry. The fundamentals of inquiry: what are you studying. Congestion in downtown core: why is it a problem. Delays in travel lead to lost productivity, excessive idling impairs air quality: what concepts and models are guiding your approach. Hope that the research would yield a better understanding of the causes of congestion in the core. Having a frame is important because when someone gives you a task, a framework will give you a series of questions, it will allow you to develop a plan to tackle this.
