Is a process that planners can employ to provide detailed guidance to the development of areas in the city. Seeks to realize the vision for an area by making the public realm more organized, aesthetically pleasing, and functional. It is the science of ‘place-making’ which enhances the value of a city and improves the quality of life of its people.

Draws together the fields of planning and transportation policy, architectural design, development economics, landscape and engineering. It considers environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic viability to create livable places of beauty and unique identity (Llewellyn-Davies, 2000).

These concerns inefficiently performing or outdated existing areas which are candidates for redevelopment. Old developments are normally found in the inner city.

This concerns still undeveloped or under-developed areas. This concerns city raw land and lightly inhabited areas. These areas are usually located in city hinterlands.

The ‘theme’ of a city (whether contrived or natural) and its public amenities suggests the character of a city.

Elements of Urban Character

Principles of Urban Design

Principles of Urban Design: Urban design does not belong to one group. Urban design should involve people, local communities and those likely to move in.

Principles of Urban Design: For places to be well-used and well- loved, they must be safe, comfortable, varied, and attractive. They also need to be distinctive, and offer variety, choice, and fun.

Principles of Urban Design: New development should conserve monuments, groups of buildings, or sites of cultural importance, and natural features, geological and physiographical formations and natural sites of national importance.

Principles of Urban Design: New development should enrich and complement existing places.

Principles of Urban Design: Places need to be accessible and integrated with their surroundings. One must be able to get around by foot, bicycle, public transport, and car - in that order.

Principles of Urban Design: Places must balance the natural (climate, landform, landscape and ecology) and the man-made environment to maximize resource conservation and amenity.

Principles of Urban Design: Stimulating, enjoyable and convenient places meet the various needs of the greatest number of users. They also mix different buildings, uses, ownership, leases, and densities.

Principles of Urban Design: For projects to be developable and well cared for they must be economically viable, well managed and maintained. This means understanding the market considerations of developers, ensuring long term commitment from the community and the local authority, defining appropriate delivery mechanisms and seeing this as part of the design process.

Principles of Urban Design: New development needs to be flexible enough to respond to future changes in use, lifestyle and demography.

Key Technical Persons/Responsible Groups in Urban Design

Steps for Thematic Area Assessment can be done by a multi- disciplinary team which includes the city, technical specialists, and community stakeholders.

Steps on Thematic Area Assessment: After the land use plan has been drafted, detailed planning can be done in particular areas such as the following: • Central business district • Heritage core• Main corridors (e.g. major commercial avenues) • Transit centers (i.e. within a given radius from a transit stop) • River/ lakeside/ seaside zones• New development areas

Thematic Area Assessment: Context is the area’s character and setting. It is natural as well as human: the forms of settlements, buildings and spaces, ecology and heritage, location, and the routes that pass through it. A thorough appreciation of the overall site context is the starting point for designing a distinct place (Llewellyn-Davies, 2000).

What is SNAP

Please familiarize. The following presents checklists for the assessment of various elements. Under Step no.2. Assess the context of the area or community.

Thematic Area Assessment: One of the principles of Transect- based planning is that certain forms and elements belong in certain environments. For example, an apartment building belongs in a more urban setting, a ranch house in a more rural setting. Some types of thoroughfares are urban in character, and some are rural. A deep suburban setback destroys the spatial enclosure of an urban street; it is out of context.

These are Zoning Categories of Transect-based planning. except one.

Under Zoning Categories of Transect-Based Planning: ____consists of lands approximating or reverting to a wilderness condition, including lands unsuitable for settlement due to topography, hydrology or vegetation.

Under Zoning Categories of Transect-Based Planning: consists of sparsely settled lands in open or cultivated state. These include woodland, agricultural land, grassland, and irrigable desert. Typical buildings are farmhouses, agricultural buildings, cabins, and villas.

Under Zoning Categories of Transect-based planning: consists of low density residential areas, adjacent to higher zones that some mixed use.

Under Zoning Categories of Transect-based planning: Consists of a mixed use but primarily residential urban fabric

Under Zoning Categories of Transect-based planning: consists of higher density mixed use buildings that accommodate retail, offices, row houses and apartments.

Under Zoning Categories of Transect-based planning: consists of the highest density and height, with the greatest variety of uses, and civic buildings of regional importance.

Under Zoning Categories of Transect-based planning: consists of Civic Buildings and/or Civic Spaces appropriate to each Transect Zone.

Under Zoning Categories of Transect-based planning: consist of areas with buildings that by their Function, Disposition, or Configuration cannot, or should not, conform to one or more of the six normative

In which step under Thematic Area Assessment, Visual surveys consist of sets of photographs of buildings, streets, sidewalks, shopping centers, parks, and/or other examples of a region’s built or natural environment. The images are then shown to residents at public workshops and stakeholder’s meetings.

Step no.__ under Thematic Area Assessment, Is an example of a point system of evaluating existing neighborhoods in urban areas and proposed infill redevelopment projects in accordance with Smart Growth principles, resulting in Smart Neighborhoods.

Please familiarize below Criteria for SNAP used to guide the development of smart neighborhoods.

Step no.__ under Thematic Area Assessment, Vacant lands are classified according to topographic and drainage characteristics and availability of improvements near such vacant lands.

Under Step No.6 Vacant lands may be classified as: Prime lands & Marginal lands, Ang tanong, which one has • 0-15% in slope• close proximity to water, sewer and other utility lines• These vacant lands are suitable for industrial, commercial, residential, and other urban uses

Under Step No.6 Vacant lands may be classified as: Prime lands & Marginal lands, Ang tanong, which one has • over 15% in slope•Under Step No.6 Vacant lands may be classified as: Prime lands & Marginal lands, Ang tanong, which one has • over 15% in slope• subject to flooding• unsuitable or uneconomic to develop

Step no.__ under Thematic Area Assessment, The study of the quality of the urban environment and of man-made structures (residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional) is aimed at identifying the so-called urban renewal area.

Urban renewal actions are of two types: which one says the improvement or restoration of identified blighted areas

Urban renewal actions are of two types: which one says the clearance and rebuilding of areas which are in more advanced stages of blight.

The land values goes into an investigation of the structure of land values, upward or downward graduations and trends of change in these values. Actual market values are arrived at only by extensive and costly studies which may not be practicable in most situations.

Most directly related to the amenity considerations involved in land use planning. Aesthetic features are determined on the basis of perceptual considerations– as these are observed in such terms as beauty, pleasantness, sense of spaciousness, and historical value.

Bonus: Record significant paths and vantage points from which the city/ municipality can usually be perceived.
