ARCH 201 Lecture Notes - Lecture 21: Urban Growth Boundary, Pink Tape, Urban Design
Document Summary
Detroit- dinosaur b/c auto industry died, or house of cards b/c economy built itself up on false framework. Know about accessibility (able to get places) vs mobility (get places quickly) Renewable cities- some have brt (light rail), some don"t-- know some have unique features. Get development right- protect urban spaces, urban growth boundary- compact, walkable cities, Get autos under control- stopping subsidizing cars, higher gas/carbon tax, location efficient mortgages. Get transit on track- tod"s, brt"s, light rails. Get planning- complete plan for metro region- urban design, etc. Funding and taxing right- funding to local entities, reduce tax differentials, regional revenue sharing. Tod- contemporary, centrally around systems of transport, from west. Tnd-focuses on block sizes, typology, more conservative-- east coast. Everyday- guys selling shirt in parking lot, repurposing/taking advantage of existing infrastructure (not creating anything new) Tactical- shaping things, changing something (ie weed-bombing, chairs where need)-- not necessarily planned. Flows into streets/sewers during high storms, diluted sewage flows into river.
