This book was released on 2020 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006, Austin City Council adopted a new subchapter into the city’s Land Development Code, Subchapter E: Design Standards and Mixed Use. Through this process, the City established the vertical mixed-use overlay zoning district and applied it to most land parcels along the city’s core transit corridors. The new rules lead to the development of vertical mixed-use projects along these corridors, many of which contain ground floor retail spaces with residential units above. This study seeks to understand the factors that led to this new development and evaluate the performance of their ground floor retail spaces. This study surveys 19 vertical mixed-use developments containing ground floor retail spaces along segments of Austin’s South Lamar Boulevard, South Congress Avenue, East Riverside Drive, North Lamar Boulevard, and Burnet Road. Using a rubric created based on best practice research, developments along these corridors were assessed to evaluate retail performance at the project, corridor, and city scales. Insights from this research are presented in hopes of understanding the current state of ground floor retail along Austin’s corridors and informing future action
Book Synopsis Retail Spaces in Mixed-use Developments by : James Adam Lee
Download or read book Retail Spaces in Mixed-use Developments written by James Adam Lee and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time of breakneck development in Seattle, mixed-use developments are seen as a way to provide increased housing options for the city’s newcomers, concentrate and strengthen existing commercial corridors, and protect surrounding historic single-family development. However, while planning theory suggests that ground-floor retail in mixed-use developments plays a crucial role activating neighborhood public spaces, in practice, retail vacancies in newly-built developments are dragging down Seattle’s commercial districts and contributing to public unease over the pace and nature of development. The study below evaluates eight separate mixed-use developments, completed between 2007 and 2017, for characteristics contributing to either occupancy or vacancy on their ground floors. The findings indicate that retail vacancy results from an imbalance in the incentives between the City, the developer, and the business community. These three actors, together the three main stakeholders in mixed-use retail development, each pull on the building process in different ways and must cooperate if new properties are to be successful.

Book excerpt: A lively and provocative history of the contested landscapes where the majority of Americans now live. From rustic cottages reached by steamboat to big box stores at the exit ramps of eight-lane highways, Dolores Hayden defines seven eras of suburban development since 1820. An urban historian and architect, she portrays housewives and politicians as well as designers and builders making the decisions that have generated America’s diverse suburbs. Residents have sought home, nature, and community in suburbia. Developers have cherished different dreams, seeking profit from economies of scale and increased suburban densities, while lobbying local and federal government to reduce the risk of real estate speculation. Encompassing environmental controversies as well as the complexities of race, gender, and class, Hayden’s fascinating account will forever alter how we think about the communities we build and inhabit.
Book Synopsis What's Next? by : Jonathan David Miller

Book excerpt: After decades of what felt like infinite resources and vast wealth pools available to fuel the consumption-based U.S. economy, we now face a mindset of shortage. We all know the history--government-supported mortgages and freeways, affordable automobiles, cheap gas, and post-World War II industrial expansion all underwrote the exodus from "cramped" urban neighborhoods to spacious single-family suburban homes. Car models were a talisman for individual success, and public transit turned into an afterthought in suburban agglomerations. Proximity to anything didn't matter when you could drive easily to almost everywhere. And exhilarating mobility over long distances enabled more people to own more land--and build larger houses--at the ever-expanding suburban fringe. Employers sought to build suburban office islands, set apart from housing, retail, and transit. That's over. What's next?
