Case Studies of Urban Planning/Design











 I did a mini case study on several urban planning/designs throughout the US. Through these studies I compiled a list of key aspects that each case contained and through this list I have gained a better understanding on how to achieve a sucessful urban design. I looked at two main categories in my case studies. Redeveloping Old Neighborhoods and Public Spaces. Through my studies I also found a list of recent trends surrounding this initiative:


·         A much stronger retail market
·         Historic Preservation
·         New Urbanism
·         Sustainability
·         Social Equity
·         Neighborhood Activism
