Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this paper is to examine whether new firms are more likely to form near rail transit stations. Two relatively new light-rail systems--one in Portland, Oregon, and the other in Dallas, Texas--form the basis of the analysis. A geocoded, time-series database of firm births from 1991 through 2008 is analyzed using all firm births, firm births of various sizes, and firm births of specific industry sectors. A random effects, negative binomial model is used to examine associations between proximity to rail stations and other spatially defined variables. Results show that newly formed firms tend to cluster around stations in the Portland region but not in the Dallas region. The difference between the two regions holds for different firm sizes and different industrial sectors. In all cases, there is a much stronger association between transit proximity and new firm birth in the Portland region compared to the Dallas-Ft. Worth region. In both regions, births of larger firms tend to be associated with greater proximity to transit stations, perhaps reflecting the greater agglomeration benefits that they receive. Different planning and zoning criteria in Portland versus those in Dallas may explain the relative success of Portland in achieving clusters of new firms near transit.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comparative case study examines the Central Light Rail Line (CLRL) in Baltimore, Maryland and the Eastside Metropolitan Area Express (MAX) in Portland, Oregon. The purpose of this research was to investigate how two different light rail systems developed, what policies, programs, and organizations helped shape them, and to draw conclusions as to what enabled one light rail transit line to perform better than another. For each of the systems, the alignment and historical development were chronicled to establish the context in which each was constructed and operates. Policies, programs, and organizations that have affected the light rail systems in Portland and Baltimore were examined as well. Comparisons were made on the ridership of the lines, their effect on the value of land adjacent to the stations, and the type of policies and programs which have facilitated transit oriented development. The results of this investigation have shown that Portland's Eastside MAX performs much better when compared to Baltimore due to Portland's regional growth plan, the existence of a regional governing entity, and integrated transportation and land use policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the best transit cities in the US? The best Bus Rapid Transit lines? The most useless rail transit lines? The missed opportunities? In the US, the 25 largest metropolitan areas and many smaller cities have fixed guideway transit—rail or bus rapid transit. Nearly all of them are talking about expanding. Yet discussions about transit are still remarkably unsophisticated. To build good transit, the discussion needs to focus on what matters—quality of service (not the technology that delivers it), all kinds of transit riders, the role of buildings, streets and sidewalks, and, above all, getting transit in the right places. Christof Spieler has spent over a decade advocating for transit as a writer, community leader, urban planner, transit board member, and enthusiast. He strongly believes that just about anyone—regardless of training or experience—can identify what makes good transit with the right information. In the fun and accessible Trains, Buses, People: An Opinionated Atlas of US Transit, Spieler shows how cities can build successful transit. He profiles the 47 metropolitan areas in the US that have rail transit or BRT, using data, photos, and maps for easy comparison. The best and worst systems are ranked and Spieler offers analysis of how geography, politics, and history complicate transit planning. He shows how the unique circumstances of every city have resulted in very different transit systems. Using appealing visuals, Trains, Buses, People is intended for non-experts—it will help any citizen, professional, or policymaker with a vested interest evaluate a transit proposal and understand what makes transit effective. While the book is built on data, it has a strong point of view. Spieler takes an honest look at what makes good and bad transit and is not afraid to look at what went wrong. He explains broad concepts, but recognizes all of the technical, geographical, and political difficulties of building transit in the real world. In the end,Trains, Buses, People shows that it is possible with the right tools to build good transit.

Download or read book Redesigning Cities written by Jonathan Barnett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is recommended reading for planners preparing to take the AICP exam. Too often, no one is happy with new development: Public officials must choose among unappealing alternatives, developers are frustrated and the public is angry. But growing political support for urban design, developers' interest in community building and successful examples of redesigned cities all over the U.S. are hopeful signs of change. The author explains how design can reshape suburban growth patterns, revitalize older cities, and retrofit metropolitan areas where earlier development decisions went wrong. The author describes in detail specific techniques, materials, and technologies that should be known (but often aren't) to planners, public officials, concerned citizens, and others involved in development.
