Book excerpt: This research describes the growth of the Minneapolis Skyway network and aims to determine if the growth of the system has followed a predictable path.We hypothesize that the system expanded to the places in which it was valued the most. The point accessibility of each block lying within and adjacent to the connected system for each expansion year is calculated and used to predict the expansion of the Skyway System. In order to determine how often the expansion connected the blocks with higher accessibility, a connection-choice logit model relating the probability of joining the network (in a given year) to accessibility measures and network size was employed. The results disclose that accessibility is a significant explanatory factor of network growth. In accordance with the findings from the logit model, a network-growth simulation model was then developed on the basis of the strongest-link assumption (ie for a link to be constructed, it must be ranked the highest in terms of increasing accessibility between the two blocks it connects). The results show that the simulation model performs well in predicting the sequence of skyway additions on the basis of the myopic strongest-link assumption. This suggests that although various physical, economic, regulatory, and legal factors may have played a role accessibility remains an important factor in predicting which links are connected during the growth of the Minneapolis Skyway network.

Download or read book Modeling Minneapolis Skyway Network written by Arthur Huang and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopting an agent-based approach, this paper explores the topological evolution of the Minneapolis Skyway System from a microscopic perspective. Under a decentralized decision-making mechanism, skyway segments are built by self-interested building owners. We measure the accessibility for the blocks from 1962 to 2002 using the size of office space in each block as an indicator of business opportunities. By building skyway segments, building owners desire to increase their buildings' value of accessibility, and thus potential business revenue. The skyway network in equilibrium generated from the agent model displays similarity to the actual skyway system. The network topology is evaluated by multiple centrality measures (e.g., degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality) and a measure of road contiguity, roadness. Sensitivity tests such parameters as distance decay parameter and construction cost per unit length of segments are performed. Our results disclose that the accessibility-based agent model can provide unique insights for the dynamics of the skyway network growth.

Book excerpt: On the Goethe Institut's one-year pop-up in the Minneapolis Skyway As part of the Year of German-American Friendship 2018/19, the Goethe Pop Up Minneapolis, titled Goethe in the Skyways, occupied a space in the city's futuristic-looking Skyway system--an artificial network of arcades and pedestrian bridges that was constructed in the 1960s to connect the office buildings in the city center with one another and allow people to avoid the bitter cold of winter. Despite being used and perceived as public spaces, the Skyways are all privately owned, thus symbolizing "public" life in the US, both within politics and business, and in the realms of sport and culture. In this hybrid private-public setting, Goethe in the Skyways was used as a platform for a critical examination of cultural and political controversies in the US and Europe. The publication documents the one-year cultural program.

Book excerpt: The most unique feature of downtown Minneapolis is the extensive Skyway system that links over sixty city blocks above the streets and sidewalks allowing its users to completely ignore any activity occurring below them. The system has become so prevalent it has now become the primary means of movement for pedestrians, leading to empty streets and sidewalks and a lack of welcoming and vibrant public space. What is more, most people now consider the Skyways to be public space despite the fact that they are owned and operated by private entities and the city has no control over who can use them and when they can be used. The Skyways have created a downtown that more closely resembles a suburban mall rather than the lively and diverse hubs of activity commonly found in most other North American cities. This thesis proposes a new network of public space meant to link the existing Skyway level activity to the street level. By making better and more clear connections between the two, along with designing streetscapes that are better geared for use by people rather than cars, it is believed that this new network can help create and sustain the type of street life and activity present in other downtown cores. The new network will be raised above the street level in order to allow for more direct visual and physical access to the outside from the existing Skyways and it would include direct and accessible connections between the Skyway level and the sidewalk below. It is meant to augment much-needed street level enhancements to make the sidewalk more appealing to pedestrians. The existing Skyways comprise a rather rigid system that does not respond to its surroundings; the new network will be adaptive to allow it to change along with its surroundings as the city grows and increases its density. The new network proposed in this thesis will be treated like an infrastructure that stretches across the downtown neighborhoods for the public's benefit. The Skyways fail as an infrastructure now due to its restrictive nature and the inconsistent way in which it is operated. By taking advantage of the current activity present in the Skyways and by creating clearer and more direct connections to the sidewalks, this thesis endeavors to bring people into the public realm and dramatically alter the way they live and work in downtown Minneapolis.
