Urban Design & Community Context

Presentation from the 2006 Transportation Design for Communities courseModule 2Module 2 will present basic community elements and how these elements can be assessed. This session will demonstrate structural elements of conducting a contextual analysis for the social, physical and economic conditions of a community, or study area, in which the transportation initiative is situated. This multi-disciplined assessment will allow the project team and the local community to understand the complex issues related to community development, its relationship and sensitivity to roadway design alternatives, and most importantly, the expectations of the project's vested stakeholders.
