Monday, June 10, 2013. Common Garage Parking, In Practice: Part II. An article in a recent issue of the New York Times, spotlighting Charlotte in covering the trend toward less driving among younger Americans, opened. With the following paragraph:. Mauney's building may be a high-rise, but a similar common garage parking approach has effectively been adopted among new apartment buildings of the type seen here, in an example from Dallas. This is of course the notorious " Texas Doughnut. Despite the promin...

Friday, May 6, 2011. Friday Read: A History of Street Standards. During the past few weeks I've been taking advantage of the proximity of my neighborhood library. To search out published articles on topics of relevance to this blog. To follow Monday's post, I'd like to bring readers' attention to a 1995 paper. Designed to awe and impress regardless of cost or utility, often as an expression of the political power of emerging centralized nation-states). Another point is that the economic wastefulness of t...

Old Urbanist: Cross Border Urbanism: From Texas to Tamaulipas

http://oldurbanist.blogspot.com/2014/02/cross-border-urbanism-from-texas-to.html

Sunday, February 23, 2014. Cross Border Urbanism: From Texas to Tamaulipas. Although the American and Mexican urban traditions have at various times shared some fundamental similarities, including a heavy use of orthogonal grids and an apparent tendency toward single-family homes sitting on their own lots, the different manner in which these have been carried out in each country have produced strikingly dissimilar urban landscapes. Nowhere is this more evident than with the sister cities of Brownsville.

SW Ontario Urbanist: Mapping population change in Detroit by decade

http://swontariourbanist.blogspot.com/2015/08/mapping-population-change-in-detroit-by.html

Monday, 10 August 2015. Mapping population change in Detroit by decade. While I'm working on the next big post on 2000-2010 population change of urban cores, here's a post on population change in Detroit. Although Detroit has been experiencing population loss since 1950, it hasn't been occurring at the same rate each decade, and some neighbourhoods have lost more population since 1950 than others. The legend is the same as from the New York Times. The core was predominantly losing population while outlyi...

Apex Urbanism: Lockerbie Square, Indianapolis

http://apexurbanism.blogspot.com/2015/02/lockerbie-square-indianapolis.html

Friday, February 27, 2015. Lockerbie Square, Indianapolis. A pretty good example (at least for the States) of a pleasant single-family residential neighborhood with narrow-ish streets. Cut down the width by about 5-10 or so and it'd look like a Japanese neighborhood. The trees completely covering the streets are nice too. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

SW Ontario Urbanist: US MSAs urban vs suburban growth (2000-2010) - Part 4

http://swontariourbanist.blogspot.com/2015/07/us-msas-urban-vs-suburban-growth-2000_27.html

Monday, 27 July 2015. US MSAs urban vs suburban growth (2000-2010) - Part 4. In part 3 of this series. I looked at how much the urban cores of the biggest American metro areas grew between 2000 and 2010, with urban cores that were defined primarily by 1960 population densities. Partly to show how well this methodology matches up to what people would subjectively consider the urban cores, I posted images of what the boundaries were for the urban cores of the 10 biggest MSAs. Urban core net growth (ranking).

You can see why by taking a look at this one simple chart from the European Transport and Safety Council's new report Making Walking and Cycling on Europe's Roads Safer. It illustrates one of the report's key recommended policies:. You get the idea. It's ...
