GGR252H1 Lecture : GGR252 Lecture 1
Document Summary
Introduction: highway barriers are absent around commercials areas, but present around residential areas! Accessibility and visibility are very valuable ! Location = space; the arrangement of land uses within a city or across a country; planned to some degree! Commercial land use vs. public sector land use: private sector (commercial) land use (e. g. , shopping mall)! Seek out the most visible and the most accessible sites! Dominant type of land use in downtown : tallest towers, most visible parts in terms of height and (under)ground level (e. g. , path), public sector land use (e. g. , hospital)! General hospitals located in suburbs, which are widely spaced from each other ! Mix of general hospitals and specialized hospitals localized in central locations, which are close together: services the people around that location! Different mandates from private sector land use! Some public sector facilities also seek out the most visible and the most accessible sites!
