Architecture and Design for People
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the impact that architects and landscape architects could have in urban areas if planning and zoning laws would support creativity. One of the problems facing American cities and towns of all sizes is that of sprawl. It is seen as a natural evolution process of cities, but closer inspection reveals that it likely is not as “natural” as planners and designers would like to believe. As cities and towns across the country seek to revitalize downtown ghost towns or determine to be proactive as downtown buildings begin to become vacant, it is valid to assess whether the pattern is inevitable or whether planning and design share responsibility.
