The EIGHTEENTH post in my "32 days of Case Studies in Retrofitting Suburbia" project. Case Study II.18: Historic Fourth Ward Park, Atlanta, GA, USA Can the #regreening of 17 acres of parking lots into a stormwater park trigger award-winning lot #redevelopment, building #reinhabitation, and trail building on a grand scale? That's the case that can be made by Atlanta's decision to address its combined sewer overflow (CSO) problem with a $23 million stormwater park instead of a $40 million underground tunnel. Historic Fourth Ward Park attracted the first major investment to support the Atlanta #BeltLine. By solving the site's recurring flooding problems, the park enabled the renovation of a large vacant Sears distribution warehouse into Ponce City Market, a highly successful mixed-use complex with a popular food hall. For some, however, Fourth Ward Park is seen as an example of "eco-gentrification." Is the lesson learned that we shouldn't invest in great design that integrates stormwater solutions into beautiful parks? Hardly. But we recommend that municipalities planning similar green infrastructure upgrades should anticipate the potential for displacement and get ahead of it. Team: Markham Smith Architects, HDR, Trust for Public Land, Wood Partners.

What's an invisible force that shapes cities? Zoning is the answer. These regulations dictate what gets built and where, creating unique vibes throughout a city. ️Think quiet suburbs with single-family homes or bustling downtowns with towering apartments. Zoning also impacts housing affordability and walkability. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e7H-8Geg #urbanplanning #zoning #city #cityplanning

On Monday, August 12th, Andrew Watkins and the JZMK team, alongside City Staff, presented an update on the Moraga Canyon Specific Plan with the Piedmont Planning Commission. The workshop aimed to gather support and feedback on the proposed architectural styles for the new multifamily residential development. The Planning Commission provided valuable insight and endorsed the proposed styles. Once the Administrative Draft of the Specific Plan is ready, the Commission will review the full document and offer additional feedback. Stay tuned for more Moraga Canyon updates! #CommunityUpdate #UrbanPlanning #CityDevelopment #ArchitecturalDesign #PiedmontPlanning #MoragaCanyon #SpecificPlan #ResidentialDevelopment #PlanningCommission #CityPartnership #DesignFeedback #FuturePlanning #BuildingCommunity #UrbanRenewal #NeighborhoodDevelopment #PlanningUpdates #ArchitecturalStyles #CommunityInput #CityProjects #DevelopmentPlans #PiedmontUpdates #MultiFamilyHousing #CityCollaboration #PlanningNews #DevelopmentUpdate #UrbanGrowth #ArchitecturalTrends #FutureOfPiedmont #CommunityEngagement #CityDevelopmentNews

In the realm of urban development, progress is more often than not a marathon, not a sprint, and this rings especially true for the pervasive redevelopment of the gigantic Collin Creek Mall in Plano. - Underneath the surface level facade of perceived stagnancy, work has been steadily advancing. A noteworthy milestone just reached is the construction of a substantial underground parking garage, a foundational logistical component required in large scale, complex renovations such as this. - Besides modernizing infrastructure above ground, an unsung rehabilitation effort is taking place beneath the surface - old, deteriorating culverts once hidden under the concrete sprawl are currently under restoration. Do not mistake a quiet surface to mean a lack of activity below. Much like an iceberg, the unseen element of this billion-dollar project contains the majority of the progress, and hence deserves the spotlight. These undertakings have made evident: 1. The efficacy of thorough planning in overcoming logistical challenges. 2. The integrated effort toward environmental respect by restoring the old watercourses. 3. The augmented emphasis on sustainable development principles, an intrinsic part of would-be leading urban landscapes. The next milestones poised for realization in this grand project are eagerly awaited, and they hold promises of substantial value, not only to investors but also, significantly, for community building within Plano. This project's progress is likely to have deeper implications on urban development methodologies, potentially serving as an exemplary model spelling out that underneath every successful urban redevelopment project is a meticulous blend of modernization and sustainability. #CollinCreekRedevelopment #UrbanRehabilitation #SustainableDevelopment #UrbanPlanning Final Words: Stay tuned and maintain an eye on the strides of the Collin Creek Mall - more is underway than meets the eye!

Leadership in the modern era is evolving, placing municipal leaders at the forefront of addressing local challenges related to climate change, technical specifications, and engineering challenges. A comprehensive understanding of public work, infrastructure, land use, zoning, and real estate development is now essential for those leaders. A prime example is the Mayor of Boston, who leveraged his knowledge to launch resilience plans to address rising sea levels and other climate-related issues. As experts in Grant Writing and Program Management, we at Global Urban Strategies, Inc streamline the implementation of urban initiatives that result in efficient resource utilization, ensuring we support municipal leaders by providing them with tools to continue implementing sustainable projects within their cities. #UrbanLeadership #CityInnovation #urbanplanning #placingpeoplefirst #urbanism

Our states mandate planning for transportation, but there is a gigantic gap from there to any other form of planning. Planning around transportation first will not build places that survive long term. Plan for people, and let the transportation part find it's way within that framework, that way you build a place that will endure for the long term. We need leaders who understand this, not just planners from a state transportation office. People first.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) is a widely interdisciplinary practice, and working alongside so many distinct teams within one firm—across disciplines, time zones, and typologies—has been a major work-perk over the past two years. While some jobs at large firms might narrow into a single specialty over time, I'm glad to be faced with such diverse opportunities and challenges. Recently, I've had a hand in winning work for: - new hospitals here in the US and abroad - a cutting-edge vertical manufacturing tower - a training campus for a major sports team - green economy-focused master plans - adaptive reuse and repositioning of high-rise offices - state and federal research facilities - a transformative master plan for a defunct airport - all kinds of multifamily residential buildings around the world Of course, I've lost a few cool projects in the mix but still can't wait to see what's next! #expandingpractice #transformativearchitecture #interdisciplinaryarchitecture #businessdevelopment #designstrategy

Check out this short analysis of the recently approved zoning changes in East Boston from a local land use attorney. Really interesting set of changes, especially in light of the new ‘Streets & Squares’ zoning reform that appears focused on similar changes.
After 6 years in the making, the Boston Zoning Commission voted on Wednesday to approve the Boston Planning and Development Agency's (#BPDA) recommendation to overhaul Article 53 of the Boston Zoning Code which is applicable to East Boston. The final adoption of PLAN: East Boston approved a number of map and text amendments to the Zoning Code that will update almost all of the zoning regulations that have governed the East Boston neighborhood for more than thirty (30) years. The recommended amendments received unanimous support from the Zoning Commission. These changes to Article 53 are pretty significant for property owners, developers and the community at large providing predictability and better planning for neighborhood growth allowing for more housing, mixed use and plans to address climate resiliency. Important takeaways include: • Creation of new zoning districts that will allow for an increase in the number of allowed residential units per lot; • The elimination of or increases in maximum floor/area ratios (FAR) for most neighborhoods allowing for more habitable space per lot; • No requirement for minimum lot size or lot frontage; • Increases in allowable building heights in squares and corridors; • Requirements for more site permeability and limits on building lot coverage; • Reducing (and in some cases eliminating) minimum off street parking requirements. Feel free to connect if you wish to discuss how these changes may affect your property or future project or require assistance in navigating these new amendments. #Development #EastBoston #Zoning
