Week 6 Streets

Week 5 – No Class

No class this week.

Week 4 Class Overview

Our class focused on an exercise to collaboratively design a full neighborhood using Baldwin Park as our “canvas” and incorporating a range of housing densities, places to shop, work, learn, and plan, and connecting with our neighbors in a meaningful way. Below is a link to the PowerPoint presentation overview of parks and park systems. We will review the presentation at the next class.

Reminder, there is no class next week (9/23).

Week 3 – The Dimensions of Urban Design

This week’s class covered some basics about the “kit of parts” that urban designers use to guide the assembly of a city – buildings, streets, and public spaces.

Our discussion about great streets was lively and interesting, with a comparison between Alafaya Trail, Park Avenue, Aloma Avenue, New Broad Street, and Church Street.
