Book excerpt: Phoenix, Arizona is consistently ranked as one of America's fastest growing cities. This growth is attributed to pervasive suburban expansion. Since the Second World War, Phoenix's population has increased by fourteen times to become one of America's largest cities. Despite this expansion, mass rapid transit was non-existent in post-war Phoenix until 2008. In the 1980s and 1990s, several proposals for mass rapid transit strategies were abandoned as tax increases required for funding were rejected by Phoenix residents. Finally, in 2000 the Transit2000 proposal that promised light rail transit and improved bus service was approved by residents. The scheme initiated the construction and planning of Phoenix's light rail system, the inaugural central line opened in December 2008 with several future expansion lines planned. The scheme also implemented a transit-oriented-development strategy for the Central City in order to densify and revitalize its urban core. Since the plan was approved, an estimated $8.2 billion has been invested in developments along the main light rail corridor. Unfortunately, as the developments attract new residents and visitors to the city centre, property costs increase threatening the displacement of the city's lower income population, a demographic most dependant and therefore most able to benefit from improvements to the transit system. With developments and improvements concentrated along the thin central line, the vast majority of Phoenix residents are unable to benefit from these changes including many of its inner city communities that are home to its most marginalized and underserved residents who are most dependant on public transportation. Beyond the limitations of the public transport system, recent immigration legislation in Arizona has also greatly affected the everyday circumstances of some of Phoenix's most underserved communities. While the policies enforce increased surveillance of undocumented migrants, they are criticized for their potential to simultaneously racially profile those of Latin American ethnicity. This has created an atmosphere of fear for both migrants and Latin Americans to the extent that many evade public space and thus only exist in the shadows, hidden and invisible from normal, typical, everyday life. This thesis examines the potential of transit and its associated development in benefitting its most underserved and undervalued patrons - minorities of income, ethnicity, and status. From examining embedded issues including designing in the suburbs, micro retail environments, ethnic enclaves, visibility and anonymity, the thesis proposes the transit-oriented-micro-development, small marketplaces that can benefit the marginalized in Maryvale, Phoenix, Arizona.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the neighborhood transformation, gentrification, and displacement that accompany more compact development around transit. Cities and regions throughout the world are encouraging smarter growth patterns and expanding their transit systems to accommodate this growth, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and satisfy new demands for mobility and accessibility. Yet despite a burgeoning literature and various policy interventions in recent decades, we still understand little about what happens to neighborhoods and residents with the development of transit systems and the trend toward more compact cities. Research has failed to determine why some neighborhoods change both physically and socially while others do not, and how race and class shape change in the twenty-first-century context of growing inequality. Drawing on novel methodological approaches, this book sheds new light on the question of who benefits and who loses from more compact development around new transit stations. Building on data at multiple levels, it connects quantitative analysis on regional patterns with qualitative research through interviews, field observations, and photographic documentation in twelve different California neighborhoods. From the local to the regional to the global, Chapple and Loukaitou-Sideris examine the phenomena of neighborhood transformation, gentrification, and displacement not only through an empirical lens but also from theoretical and historical perspectives. Growing out of an in-depth research process that involved close collaboration with dozens of community groups, the book aims to respond to the needs of both advocates and policymakers for ideas that work in the trenches.

This book was released on 2020-09-25 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Urban and Regional Planning, grade: 2.0, University of Weimar (Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism), course: M.Sc. European Urban Studies, language: English, abstract: The thesis research is divided into three main categories. Firstly, explaining "Emerging Practices" with definitions of different new trends for overcoming various challenges around the globe. Secondly, by ‘Learning lessons’ from best practices and interviewing Experts in this field and the last part of future experiments in section ‘Future Lab’ where these learnings and Challenges are demonstrated together to form recommendations for future proposals. In future Lab, Challenges which are basis of this thesis study; Learnings which are currently happening; and findings which are recommendations from expertise are collected together to form a catalog. Further integrating these key elements from catalogue help to create a new future proposal. A design model under three different criteria is made and interpret the level of integrating the key elements. Thus, in this future lab of experiments, successful recommendations are delivered to fulfill the goals and objectives of neighborhood mobility concept. TOD is a prominent solution considered to overcome major urban issues. However, different interpretations of this concept lead to difficulties in conducting TOD. Implementation of TOD is realized on different scales, varying from macro to micro. This thesis research focus on micro scale implementation which refer to neighborhood scale. With new trend of mobility, transit stations in neighborhood are rather used as mobility hubs or combined with other mobility offers. Many people are increasingly using mobility offers that best suit their situation and combine various transport modes flexible with each other. These models are called multimodal or intermodal of mobility. These mobility offers mostly sharing means of transportation like Car Sharing and Bike Sharing integrated in different ways. Furthermore, it is identified, whether the neighborhood mobility plan is serving only the residents living around this neighborhood or has effect on urban area too. To understand both the cases, two best practices in each case is explained. So, detail overview study of well operating mobility station ‘SWITCHH’ developed in Hamburg, Germany and mobility plan focusing on its residents; ‘Seestadt Aspern’ in Vienna are reviewed. To investigate the success factor, method to approach from concept level to development level and other criteria’s; expert interviews are conducted from the team of mobility concept developers.

Book excerpt: Transit-oriented development (TOD) seeks to maximize access to mass transit and nonmotorized transportation with centrally located rail or bus stations surrounded by relatively high-density commercial and residential development. New Urbanists and smart growth proponents have embraced the concept and interest in TOD is growing, both in the United States and around the world. New Transit Town brings together leading experts in planning, transportation, and sustainable design—including Scott Bernstein, Peter Calthorpe, Jim Daisa, Sharon Feigon, Ellen Greenberg, David Hoyt, Dennis Leach, and Shelley Poticha—to examine the first generation of TOD projects and derive lessons for the next generation. It offers topic chapters that provide detailed discussion of key issues along with case studies that present an in-depth look at specific projects. Topics examined include: the history of projects and the appeal of this form of development a taxonomy of TOD projects appropriate for different contexts and scales the planning, policy and regulatory framework of "successful" projects obstacles to financing and strategies for overcoming those obstacles issues surrounding traffic and parking the roles of all the actors involved and the resources available to them performance measures that can be used to evaluate outcomes Case Studies include Arlington, Virginia (Roslyn-Ballston corridor); Dallas (Mockingbird Station and Addison Circle); historic transit-oriented neighborhoods in Chicago; Atlanta (Lindbergh Center and BellSouth); San Jose (Ohlone-Chynoweth); and San Diego (Barrio Logan). New Transit Town explores the key challenges to transit-oriented development, examines the lessons learned from the first generation of projects, and uses a systematic examination and analysis of a broad spectrum of projects to set standards for the next generation. It is a vital new source of information for anyone interested in urban and regional planning and development, including planners, developers, community groups, transit agency staff, and finance professionals.

Download or read book Microdevelopment written by Nira Granott and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-09 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microdevelopment is the process of change in abilities, knowledge and understanding during short time-spans. This book presents a new process-orientated view of development and learning based on recent innovations in psychology research. Instead of characterising abilities at different ages, researchers investigate processes of development and learning that evolve through time and explain what enables progress in them. Four themes are highlighted: variability, mechanisms that create transitions to higher levels of knowledge, interrelations between changes in the short-term scale of microdevelopment and the crucial effect of context. Learning and development are analysed in and out of school, in the individual's activities and through social interaction, in relation to simple and complex problems and in everyday behaviour and novel tasks. With contributions from the foremost researchers in the field Microdevelopment will be essential reading for all interested in cognitive and developmental science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban form and transportation systems are closely related; each influences the other in different ways. This thesis explores this relationship, with a specific focus on systems for mega-cities in China, to pursue a new micro scale active mobility network supporting current shifts toward transit-oriented development, as a criticism for the past massive urban expansion in automobile development mode, and as an example for sustainable urban life in relation to transit development mode. The test field of this thesis is Shenzhen, a city that developed in an automobile-dependent mode and now aims to shift towards a transit-oriented development mode. Through city form analysis and transit-oriented city mapping studies, several typical urban forms of the city and the transportation characters of metro system are highlighted. Four typical urban form areas, which are connected by metro system, are selected as examples in the city for further design guideline initiative. Active mobility network is not only functioned to solve the last mile problem, connect citizens from public transit to destinations, but also a platform providing various new street life, for its flexibility, low-cost and low energy consumption. Contrasting to the wide and monotonous impression of roads in Chinese mega cities, such a network advocates for separate lanes with dedicated urban activities and speeds and a flexible surface that can adapt to changes in demand. The strategies of the four selected sites are four different solutions for active mobility networks related to internal resolving, density, service and recreation, with generations of various physical space and forms in different urban scenarios. These four typologies can be treated as typical examples for active mobility in Shenzhen, as important urban intervention operations, and references to other similar areas.
