- 11. Walkable density: 5-minute rule A mix of housing, shopping, recreation and other choices within a 5-minute walk builds quality of life and makes active transportation a viable choice for most people. David Dixon led planning for suburban Dublin, Ohio’s new downtown when he was principal-in-charge of planning at Goody Clancy
- 12. Walkable density: 5-minute rule A mix of housing, shopping, recreation and other choices within a 5-minute walk builds quality of life and makes active transportation a viable choice for most people. The Dublin plan is transforming 1,000 acres of shopping centers and similar uses into a “higher density, mixed-use downtown” organized into 5-minute walking districts.
- 13. Walkable density: 5-minute rule A mix of housing, shopping, recreation and other choices within a 5-minute walk builds quality of life and makes active transportation a viable choice for most people. More than four million SF of mixed-use development is currently in the pipeline for Dublin.
- 14. Walkable density: every street has a job • main streets (focus amenity, walkability) • primary streets (walkability, connections) • secondary streets (parking, service) Stantec’s Urban Places Group led planning for Charlotte’s Hall House site to spur downtown growth (Charlotte Housing Authority, with Perkins and Will)
- 15. Walkable density: critical mass Replace with Wei sketch 1,000 to 2,000 housing units within a 5-10 minute walk can bring a block of Main Street to life. Thresholds like these are critical to meeting meaningful density goals. More than 700 units on the Hall House site will hit a tipping point for reviving lifeless streets.
- 16. Walkable density: public benefits Use density bonuses to fund “public goods”—lively squares, transit, arts, job training and affordable housing. Planning for redevelopment of the Hall House site focused on meeting thresholds to support shops and cafés along now- lifeless streets, affordable housing, an animated public realm, and parking for nearby sites. The plan creates a new public square on the site.
- 17. Walkable density: public-realm hierarchy A multilayered hiearchy of spaces, from the most interactive to the most personal, builds community. David Dixon led planning and rezoning to guide the next chapter of growth in the Boston region’s leading innovation district, Kendall Square, while principal-in-charge of planning at Goody Clancy.

- 20. The Jane Jacobs paradox Equity is now a central issue in planning for growth. The 2010 census showed that, for the first time, more US poor live in suburbs than cities—rising more than 50% from 2000 in more than half of large US metros. SOURCE:THENEWYORKTIMES
