Toward a Typology of Transportation-Related Urban Design Problems and Solutions:211 Case Studies of Small and Medium Sized Cities in the Eastern United States

摘要

This report explores the relationship between urban design and transportation211u001ethrough a review of the literature and an analysis of case studies of small to 211u001emedium sized cities of the northeastern and southeastern United States. A 211u001edetailed analysis of case studies has been conducted to develop a typology of 211u001etrnasportation-related design problems and solutions for small to medium sized 211u001ecities. Multiple methods were employed for analyzing the relationships. These 211u001eincluded a literature review, graphical analysis and documentation, and other 211u001emethods employed in urban design. The report first presents the review of the 211u001eliterature on the relationship between urban design and transportation. The next 211u001esection of the report presents examples of transportation design problems faced 211u001eby the cities employed as case studies. This section also discusses the viable 211u001esolutions to these problems. The analysis is related to the literature discussed 211u001ein the first section as well as to the demographic, economic, and historic 211u001echaracteristics of the cities. A 'typology' of transportation-related design 211u001eproblems and solutions for small to medium sized cities emerges from this 211u001ediscussion.
