UNCChapel Hill Other Question five ways that TODs and PBF planning complement each other.

RESPONSE PAPER DIRECTIONS

PART 1.In your response paper, examine the synergies between transit-oriented development (TOD) and pedestrian-and bike-friendly cities (PBFs). First, describe five ways they complement each other (support each other). Take into consideration how integrating these two concepts can move cities toward more sustainable development and towards more accessibility[1]. Include examples of successful TODs we discussed in class in your answer.

PART 2. Second, think about the challenges to implementing a PBF development in Chapel Hill. Using the new vision for University Place on Estes Drive, describe three challenges to making it PBF (https://youtu.be/RnXJpz-fpYw?si=92WKMfj3-aXbz0q5Links to an external site.). Again, use materials from class to support your answer.

Allowed Materials (You can cite any of the following including the videos)

For both parts: Incorporate only course readings and course materials to back your opinion. Use the following readings, class materials, and videos (this includes videos embedded in the PPTs) to explain your answer, if they apply.

Your paper should start like this (yes, you can directly copy this and you should for Part 1):

PART 1.

In this section, I am going to discuss five ways that TODs and PBF planning complement each other. I define transit-oriented development as …… based on (reading?). I define a pedestrian-and bike friendly city as ……according to Handy.

In my response, I will also discuss how these two urban planning concepts support more accessible transportation planning as opposed to traditional mobility planning.

The first way TODs and PBF planning

The second way

The third way

The fourth way

The fifth way….

In conclusion, ….

PART 2. CHALLENGES (Below is a prompt for how to answer this part. Keep it to one paragraph per challenge. Explain why it’s a challenge and make sure to incorporate the Handy reading. You can use other readings listed above that discuss walkability and bikeability.) You don’t need an introductory or conclusion for PART 2.

The three challenges to making University Place a more PBF development are:

Challenge #1: University Place lacks……According to_______, PBF development should include…..

Challenge #2:

Challenge  #3:
