Study Notes
Five Development Sectors
-
Infrastructure and Land Use Development Plan: Deals with infrastructure building programs and land acquisition for public facilities, including urban renewal, redevelopment, and new urban expansion areas.
-
Environmental Management Plan: Consolidates environmental implications of development proposals, provides mitigating measures, and focuses on maintaining cleanliness of air, water, and land resources.
-
Institutional Development Plan: Strengthens local government bureaucracy's capability to manage planned growth and change, including planning, development-oriented public investment programming, and implementation.
Accessibility and Parking Design
-
Vehicular Access: Ensures accessibility for vehicles carrying disabled individuals, with direct access from site entrance to building entrance, reserved drop-off areas, and provision of ramps and grab rails.
-
Pedestrian Circulation: Ensures pedestrian walks between buildings are direct, aligned, and easily recognizable, with formal walkway designs avoided.
-
Parking Lot Design: Includes provision of parking lots in accordance with NBC requirements, with proximity to building entrances, direct access, and sufficient grading for drainage.
-
Multi-Basement Parking: Considers emptying time, carbon monoxide build-up, and exhaust system, with attention to visibility, street traffic, ventilation, and screening requirements.
Site Analysis and Planning
-
Cultural Factors: Includes existing land use, ownership, and adjacent property, traffic and transit, density and zoning, socio-economic factors, utilities, and historical factors.
-
Existing Land Use Plans: Determine areas for commercial, institutional, industrial, residential, and open space uses, based on rational use of land, natural and socio-economic factors, and compatibility with adjacent land uses.
-
Local Planning Structure: Comprises political and technical components, with planning being both proactive policy making and reactive problem solving.
Car Ownership and Urban Planning
-
Car Ownership Growth: Driven by sustained economic growth, complex individual urban movement patterns, and peripheral urban growth.
-
Factors of Dependency: Include underpricing and consumer choices, with most road infrastructures being subsidized, and car ownership being a symbol of status.
-
Automobile Dependency: Fueled by planning and investment practices that prioritize improving road and parking facilities, ignoring transportation alternatives, and imposing minimum standards through zoning regulations.
-
Congestion: Occurs when transport demand exceeds transport supply, with each vehicle impairing the mobility of others, and types including recurring and random event congestion.
-
Traffic Congestion Mitigation: Includes ramp metering and traffic signal synchronization to manage congestion.
