Overlay & Triage
Town design is adaptive, new work respects context
- Aging centers /sprawl do not mature independently
- Sustainable communities evolve with interventions
- Pragmatic templates accomodate auto dependence
Suburban systems retrofitted – not abandoned
- Investment and resource use remains in place
- Modest intervention demonstrates sprawl is reversible
An affirmative vision fundamental to place making
- Overlay zone districts address existing town fabric:
Applied where improved health, performance is timely - A form of curing; healing for urbanizing conditions:
Current sprawl patterns are transitional, and intensify
MODELS FOR COMMUNITY, SOCIAL EXCHANGE:
Wisdom and custom of localities provide tools for:
- Housing shortage
- Deteriorating town character
- Conservation of open land, local agriculture
- Mobility and accessibility for all ages
- Inflexible land use restrictions
