This report explores the relationship between urban design and transportation through a review of the literature and an analysis of case studies of small to medium sized cities of the northeastern and southeastern United States. A detailed analysis of case studies has been conducted to develop a typology of trnasportation-related design problems and solutions for small to medium sized cities. Multiple methods were employed for analyzing the relationships. These included a literature review, graphical analysis and documentation, and other methods employed in urban design. The report first presents the review of the literature on the relationship between urban design and transportation. The next section of the report presents examples of transportation design problems faced by the cities employed as case studies. This section also discusses the viable solutions to these problems. The analysis is related to the literature discussed in the first section as well as to the demographic, economic, and historic characteristics of the cities. A 'typology' of transportation-related design problems and solutions for small to medium sized cities emerges from this discussion. |
