Medieval town
absence of geometry
: walled for defense

NRPB (National resources Planning Board)
WPA (Works Projects Administration)
PWA (Public Works Administration)
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
Ring Shaped
linear form encircling an open area
Sheet
extensive urban area without focal points, routes, or forms. (Urban or suburban sprawl)
Satellite
urban developments, each with their own core, around a major urban center.
Constellation
similar to satellite, but without a major center.
Clarence A. Perry (The Neighborhood Theory in 1929
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.
garden city
an ideal, self-contained community of predetermined area and population surrounded by a greenbelt. As formulated by Sir Ebenezer Howard,
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
