GGR252H1 Lecture Notes - Analytic Continuation, Distance Decay, Ryerson University
Document Summary
All land uses benefit from accessibility: the optimum location is downtown. Office/retail are capable of making the most money by being located in the downtown location (e. g. , getting the most return) and able to pay for the downtown site. Footprint is smaller, so locations must be duplicated: there is a trade-off between the amount of land and the level of accessibility. E. g. , york university vs. ryerson university: this represents an economic model (e. g. , who gets the most return) All land use is subject to change: heritage destinations are a bit of a problem, e. g. , princess margaret hospital has maintained historical frontage by expanding upwards. Inner-city vs. suburban densities: differences in design, density, and accessibility are evident in: High density downtown offices and low density suburban office parks. High density inner-city residential use and low density suburban single-detached lots. High density downtown shopping centres and low density suburban shopping centres.
