Book Metropolitan America in Transition

Download or read book Metropolitan America in Transition written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes a workshop held in Arlington, Virginia, on September 9-10, 1993, focusing on the broad range of factors that influence metropolitan development patterns in the United States and the impacts of those development patterns. Jointly sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Office of the Secretary (OST) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, this workshop examined fundamental issues related to past, present, and future patterns of metropolitan development and how public policy can be formulated in full consideration of these issues. The program was built upon a one-day seminar sponsored by FHWA in August 1992 entitled "Edge City and ISTEA--So What?" at which emergence and character of large-scale, mixed-use suburban centers were discussed. The workshop had a dual focus: a) to identify the range and scope of policy issues associated with coordinated land use and transportation planning; and b) to prepare an agenda of research and program activities to advance the state of knowledge on the topic. Workshop themes included identifying emerging growth trends and assessing their impact on mobility and various other social, economic, and environmental quality-of-life aspects in metropolitan America. The workshop program consisted of four plenary sessions comprised of paper presentations followed by individual and panel discussions. Two rounds of small-group breakout sessions were conducted to further develop the issues and possible solutions. Plenary session topics included: Regional demographic and land use trends; Economic, social, and environmental dimensions of growth; Diversity of perspectives on future development patterns; and Policy development and analysis processes to support planning. By the end of the workshop, the discussions converged on a short list of key themes warranting further attention and providing the basis for recommended future research and program activities.

Book Best Development Practices

Book excerpt: The author draws upon case examples of some of today's most acclaimed developments in this book, and recommends best practice guidelines to help developers create vibrant, livable communities-and still make money. For years, Florida's planners and developers have had to deal with some of the most difficult growth management problems. Now planners and developers across the nation can benefit from the valuable lessons Florida offers on combating urban sprawl. Ewing first searched the state for the best contemporary developments, then distilled their lessons into guidelines for directing new development and assessing the quality of existing development. The 43 practices outlined in this exciting book cover four areas of development-land use, transportation, the environment, and housing. They apply to a broad range of development projects, including small planned communities, residential subdivisions, and commercial centers. The book's recommendations are based upon the experiences of successful developers and supported by empirical research. The proof lies in the compelling real-world examples Ewing highlights throughout the text. Illustrated with dozens of photographs and written in a lively style, this book is must reading for all those seeking better ways to plan and design communities. Developers will find proven, feasible land development regulations and benchmarks against which to evaluate development proposals.
