Improving Downtown Appearance and Viability

چکیده
The principles of design discussed here are far from new, and a debt to prior authors is fully acknowledged. Among those I have found most helpful are Raymond Unwin (Town Planning in Practice, 1908), Werner Hegemann (Civic Art, 1922), and Gorden Cullen (Townscape, (1961). The insights of more contemporary practitioners such as Doug Kelbaugh (Common Place, 1997), Peter Calthorpe and William Fulton (The Regional City, 2001), and Mark Hinshaw (True Urbanism, 2007), have also been instructive. Those insights have been helpful whether they are of the “New Urbanist” mode or other traditional design approaches less bound to geometric solutions, as they all share a desire to promote walkability, rich mixtures of uses, and strategically positioned public spaces.
