RE: How Does a Village Become a City?

in #urbanism7 years ago

Transportation is a huge element here, especially in India where you have dozens of "modes" of getting around. A big portion of this study was about layering easements and providing an efficient hierarchy between buildings / sidewalks / streets / highways. Here's a drawing that a transportation engineer friend of mine drew. It's brilliant in how it frames all of these transportation options as part of the same ecosystem.

We also provided density and building height plans. But organizing street networks was the biggest task. Once you have a healthy street network in place, good things will happen.
