after WWII city planning...
|
emerged the regional metropolis
: cities abandoned public systems, never extended them out to suburbs : suburban auto dependent shopping centers left the downtown centers for commercial offices. |
|
Concentric
|
concentric rings around a business center
: Type of transportation determines the pattern within each ring : Rings blend into each other : Center = Original Business Center : Ring 1 = Old Housing, factories, etc : Ring 2 = Turn of the century suburbs : Ring 3 = Post WWII – low density suburban housing |
|
Sector
|
Pie shaped wedges radiating from the center
|
|
Multiple Nuclei Pattern
|
several sub centers
: Finger plan: development occurs along transportation routes : Cluster plan: varying centers of activities : Satellite pattern: similar to cluster, but has a distinct center – usually the old city |
|
Linear
|
in a line connected by a transportation spine
: “Megalopolis” describes extensive linear arrangements of cities |
|
Rectilinear
|
streets and blocks at right angles
|
|
Radiocentric
|
circular urban form with radial bands of development. (Typical of cities that grew over time)
: Star or Finger |
|

linear form encircling an open area
|
|
Sheet

|
1. No major traffic through residential areas
2. Interior streets to use cul de sacs, curves, low volume 3. Population tbd by number of people to support 1 school 4. Focal point to be school 5. Occupy 160 acres. 10 families per acre. No child to walk more than ½ mile to school 6. served by shopping, church, etc. |
|

|

|
|
suburbs
|
garden idea as spread to US from Europe
|
|
housing types
|
Single family
Town houses became possible when densities began to exceed 5 to 6 units per acre. Two family houses – less costly than single Row Houses – 2 stories high, basements, 20 to 35 feet wide. Sound is a problem. Walk up Apartment – 3 stories in height. High Rise |
|
Densities = net or gross
|
Ratio of inhabitants to land
Net does not include streets, gross does |
|
Lower densities
|
expensive utility distribution costs
: dependent on automobile : for public transit to be effective and efficient need moderate density = 30 persons per acre. (30 persons is a high but livable density in suburban America, but common in European towns) |
|
Street Front Pattern
|
linear with houses lining the street
|
|
End On Pattern
|
Rows of units on small streets at right angles to the street. Reduces street frontage and increases lot depth.
|
|
Court Pattern
|
units face into a common open space.
|
|
Cluster development
|
dwellings are clustered, open space is common.
|
|
PUD:
|
zoning designation used to achieve the cluster development
: large developments : mixture of uses : requires phased development : Urban redevelopment and urban renewal are PUDs : reintroduce diversity and mixture |
