This is a great piece from Harvard Business Review and provides further support to my notion of suburban “Destination Streets”.
“Research by Lawrence Frank, Bombardier Chair in Sustainable Transportation at the University of British Columbia, looks at neighborhoods in King County, Washington: Residents in areas with the most interconnected streets travel 26% fewer vehicle miles than those in areas with many cul-de-sacs.”
Welcome to KristianKelley.net. This is my portal to discuss all things related to Real Estate Design in a thoughtful and passionate manner.
I am an Urban Planner and Registered Landscape Architect in Phoenix, Arizona. I am the owner of PlanitDesignStudio and a Planning Commissioner for the City of Chandler. “RE think” is the motto that guides this website, that is, we need to spend more time thinking about the real estate we build to make sure we get it right. I believe, for the most part, we as Designers are not living up to our potential. We need to challenge the status quo, not just to be confrontational, but to ensure the built environment realizes all of it’s opportunities.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy and please feel free to leave notes as I hope to engage in some good discussions.
