Abstract:
Streetscape design is increasingly acknowledged as a tool for improving traffic safety and livability in urban settings. While traditional highway safety engineering promotes removing obstacles from and widening roadside clear zones to reduce collision potential, a contrasting framework proposes that smaller, more enclosed streetscapes may encourage slower, less risky driving and therefore improve both livability and safety. Such a strategy may have particular relevance along urban arterials, where large clear zones may be impractical because of complex adjacent land uses and where the promotion of livable spaces is an increasing focus. This study examined streetscape design and traffic safety in urban settings by assessing relationships between crash severity and streetscape design variables in New York City. A method based on a geographic information system was used for the precise capture of streetscape design measurements at the locations of more than 240,000 crashes. Logistic regression models indicated that crashes on smaller, more enclosed streetscapes were less likely to result in injury or death compared with those on larger, more open streetscapes. These results point to in-fill development and street tree planting as safety countermeasures that are consistent with additional livability goals such as walkability, high-quality design of the public realm, and provision of natural amenities.

Abstract:
Streets are an important part of a city. Streets provide city views and experiences for their users. Streetscape as a visual depiction of the urban environment can reflect the aesthetics of the urban area and improve urban visual quality. Streetscapes must be planned to provide spatial and visual comfort for pedestrians. Sustainable streetscapes can improve the quality of the environment by providing suitable paths for pedestrians and thus encouraging people to walk. Sustainable streetscape design is one of the determining factors for a city’s success. This research aims to analyze and produce sustainable streetscape designs based on functional aspects. This research uses qualitative methods with observational data collection. The functional aspects of the streetscape studied include pedestrian paths, building façades, street furniture, greenery, crossing paths, bicycle lanes, drainage, distance between buildings, and signage. The analysis was carried out descriptively. The research results show that sustainable streetscape design must be equipped with sidewalks, street furniture, greenery, lighting, bicycle lanes, interconnected sidewalks, a good drainage system, and signage arrangements.

Abstract:
People access the streets to fulfill their daily demands regardless of their gender, age, and abilities. The streetscape is an urban public space which built to facilitate the basic needs of people as social beings. Universal design accommodates the wide range of human diversity in physical appearance, perception, cognitive abilities, body sizes, and shapes. By designing for this diversity, the streetscapes are becoming more user friendly, functional and sustainable. The purpose of this study is to suggest streetscape design guideline based on universal design principles for giving proper directions of sustainable streets development. Literatures study and cases study were used as research methods. The findings indicated that the new guideline based on universal design can be suggested to streetscapes design directions on many countries.

Abstract:
The scale and proportions of “streetscape skeletons,” the three-dimensional spaces of streets defined by the massing and arrangement of surrounding buildings, are theoretically relevant to the way human users perceive and behave. Nonetheless, the dominant ways of measuring and identifying streets emphasize vehicular service and functionality. Moreover, existing built environment-based classifications have focused on recommended forms rather than characterizing the full range of existing conditions that must be accounted for in policy and understanding of human–environment interactions. To work toward a better streetscape measurement and classification scheme, this study investigated how large numbers of streetscapes could be efficiently measured to evaluate design patterns across and between multiple cities. Using a novel GIS-based method, 12 streetscape skeleton variables were measured on more than 120,000 block-length streetscapes in three northeastern U.S. cities: Boston, MA, New York, NY, and Baltimore, MD. Logistic regression models based on these variables were unsuccessful at distinguishing between cities, confirming that the variables were similarly applicable to each city and that the cities had comparable streetscape skeleton identities. Cluster analyses were then used to identify four streetscape skeleton classes that were also consistent between cities: upright, compact, porous, and open. These classes were distinct from the widely used highway functional class system, reinforcing the distinction between streetscape design and roadway functionality and thus the importance of accounting for them separately. The streetscape skeleton classes provide a digestible yet objective system for identifying prevalent streetscape designs that are appropriate for urban policy design, advocacy, and urban systems research.

Abstract:
Promoting walking is crucial for sustainable development and fosters individual health and well-being. Therefore, comprehensive investigations of factors that make walking attractive are vital. Previous research has linked streetscapes at eye-level to walking preferences, which usually focuses on simple linear relationships, neglecting the complex non-linear dynamics. Additionally, the varied effects of streetscape factors across street segments and intersections and different street structures remain largely unexplored. To address these gaps, this study explores how eye-level streetscapes influence walking preferences in various street segments and intersections in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo. Using street view data, an image survey, and computer vision algorithms, we measured eye-level streetscape factors and walking preferences. The Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model was then applied to analyze their non-linear relationships. This study identified key streetscape factors influencing walking preferences and uncovered non-linear trends within various factors, showcasing a variety of patterns, including upward, downward, and threshold effects. Moreover, our findings highlight the heterogeneity of the structural characteristics of street segments and intersections, which also impact the relationship between eye-level streetscapes and walking preferences. These insights can significantly inform decision-making in urban streetscape design, enhancing pedestrian perceptions.

Abstract:
Urban transformation is directly related to the planning, design and use of a series of urban infrastructures, from streets to highways, from pedestrian, bicycle, bus or train lines and their connecting transport hubs to rivers, canals or harbor facilities. They play an essential role in the transformation of the urban fabric. Recent societal changes, especially in developing countries, demanding higher mobility and urban interaction, influence the used planning and design strategies to transform or extend urbanized areas by planning or renewing these infrastructures. However, its relationship to the surrounding urban fabric, more specifically the collective spaces it constitutes at the level of the streetscape, is not always an initial or integral part of providing these infrastructures. In many cases, the urban fabric is wrapped around or fragmented by these infrastructural projects, causing scale contrasts and struggle to integrate within, generating processes of misappropriation or misuse. Especially in developing contexts, new infrastructures are often planned and built in a fast way, rarely considering the qualities of the existing urban fabric. During the last decades, research on planning and design models related to the building or integrating of urban infrastructures has been developed and tested via specialised disciplinary approaches to produce insights on the relationship urban infrastructures have with the surrounding urban fabric (Secchi, 2013; Hasan, et. al. 2010; Shannon and Smets, 2009; De Maulder, 2008; Hillier, 1996;). However, additional in-depth research is needed to achieve critical insights on the relationship of infrastructures and their direct environments, starting from their constituent streetscapes - considering the level of the street that defines the perception and use by the inhabitants at an intermediate scale. This paper focuses on an ongoing research project in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), where different visions and models of urban growth are at stake (Figure 1). The recent increase of (foreign) investment in major infrastructures, changes the city's streetscapes drastically. This large scale and formal approach of installing high speed trains, Light Rail Transit's (LRT) or expanded highways and ring roads, to stimulate urban growth, contrasts with the daily routines of the proper citizens that move around by walking or by means of mini buses, both adding to the informal qualities of the city's streetscapes. Within this multi-centred capital, the location of built and planned housing projects, commercial centres, administrative or commercial high rises is studied in relation to the present infrastructural axes and questions models of proximity, accessibility and permeability.

Abstract:
As our cities grow, it is important to develop policies and streetscape designs that provide pedestrians with safe comfortable walking conditions and acknowledge the challenges involved in making urban places feel liveable and safe while understanding the critical role of streets around busy destinations. To understand these challenges at a nuanced, human level, new methods of citizen engagement are needed. This paper outlines the development and application of a new citizen perception collection method, using immersive virtual environments (IVE), coupled with an interactive emoji affective activation-pleasure grid and digital slider elements, embedded within an online e-participation survey to quantify, and rank the impact of individual (single-variable) urban design elements and safe system treatments on pedestrians’ perceptions of safety and place. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of this method for providing detailed, interrogable, scalable citizen perception data of a variety of urban street design elements and safe system treatments, which allows a statistical analysis of responses and prioritization of the most effective pedestrian-oriented interventions for maintaining or enhancing street vibrancy and liveability. Our IVE e-participation approach is an important contribution to forming a better understanding of streetscapes and provides a valuable method for urban designers and transport planners to prioritise different streetscape place and safety approaches.

Abstract:
Environmental justice research largely focuses on the allocation of public resources in terms of quantified distribution and accessibility. This study suggests that the quality of landscape equity, an important urban resource, should be evaluated as it typically appears as a combination of elements. This brings another perspective to the attention of landscape equity in addition to the provision equity: the equity in the quality and level of provision. From this perspective, this study explores the equitable role of streetscape qualities in promoting human physical, mental, and social health. Using street view images, questionnaires, artificial intelligence-based image analysis, geographic information system-based cluster analysis, and correlational analysis, the spatial distribution of health promotion streetscapes and health-influential streetscape elements were presented and compared within the scope of the Shanghai Outer Ring Road. The results disclosed an uneven distribution of streetscapes that can promote human health within research sites. Streets with poor health ratings are concentrated in the Huangpu, Hongkou, and Yangpu districts, primarily in the western part of Shanghai around Shanghai Railway Station, People’s Square, and Yuyuan Garden, where the old city centre is located. Compared with the distribution of health-influential elements, less healthy streets are more likely to be accompanied by low visibility of ‘vegetation’ and a high proportion of ‘buildings’. Streetscape design implications were then discussed in terms of providing people with equal health opportunities. Research outcomes inspired an essential quality perspective in health equity research, and it can be especially helpful when the provision and accessibility can hardly be moderated in high-density cities.

Abstract:
This research aims to observe the existing streetscapes feature related to walkability in the area of The People’s Housing Program in Kerinchi which serves as part of the Government Program for the resettlement of squatters and to fulfill the shelter needs of the low-income group (bottom 40%) in Malaysia. The stakeholder’s perception of the effectiveness of the existing streetscape feature will be collected and analyzed.The study employs a quantitative approach, data collection is done via on-site study and survey questionnaires. Streetscape features were analyzed from four criteria – enjoyment, safety, comfort, and accessibility. This study identified most of the respondents will spend less time walking due to lacking enjoyment (55.33%), exposed physical safety (42.30%), poor sanitation and street maintenance (54.36%),and poor walkability design for special-needs people (53.60%). The outcome of the research findings suggests several methods in improving walkability by enhancing the walking environment and facilities, implementation of the pedestrian-only zone, congestion pricing, and more active participation by governing bodies.

According to incomplete statistics, human desertification has become a huge risk of social problems and also a new focus of today’s social life. The government and residential gave efforts to find a way to solve that to avoid exacerbating the problem. According to the fact, back to earth, back to humanity, these always meet the demands of people. On this land, we have lost lot memories, and a lot about to be lost. Facing that, we could just chase it, make up, observe, and discover, till we pick up some pieces from the broken memories. Combine them on a piece of weathered gouache on paper, and then use the green to add vital principle, orange to outline the curves of memories, use balanced color to form the public space to make up the dimly face, create a new “Long Tang”.

Abstract:
There are huge demands of limited lands in Hong Kong. It is an increasing trend for Hong Kong Government to develop open space for the use of recreation activities as they found out that it is very important to the individual as well as the community. Other than recreation use, those open spaces can also served to allow air ventilation, penetration of sunlight and also act as a place for amenity and visual relief in Hong Kong. Although, these functions are very important in the high rise building environment, high density city like Hong Kong, there are many small public open spaces in urban area which are not in a good quality. They cannot function well in responsive to the context of the area, enhancing the quality of the neighborhoods and suited for the public need in the community which they turns out become not as popular as they are expected. The pocket open space in urban area is relatively small, surrounded by commercial buildings or residential buildings. They usually have a simple setting with planters and street furniture. Different activities involvement by different users in these small open spaces create a small community in the urban area and supposingly can enhance the interaction within people in the area. Considering that there are complaints from the Artists that there are not enough outdoor arts space in Hong Kong and public arts is the trend of some of the cities in other countries to enhancing the identity and culture of the urban areas, such as the King Williams ArtWalk in Otario in Canada. However, It is not popular in the urban dense space in Hong Kong. It is good to exploring a possible new way to sustain the unique culture by applying public arts platform in the urban area. The site is located around the Aberdeen Street in Central. It is an old district with new culture style but lack of solid identity and energy throughout the space. Although there are different organic developments, the streetscape is without strong characters. The following pilot project is aim to use art platform as a tools to revealing the missing link in urban context and also adding a possible new function to the open space in urban dense area as a “outdoor showroom” of arts in the city in order to vibrate the city and raise the awareness of public arts to the publics.

Human happiness is often overlooked in urban revitalization. Many studies have proven the benefits of regular exercise for overall health and happiness. Active transportation adopted as a major form of transportation has the potential to provide similar benefits. Wichita, Kansas, like many other mid-sized, American cities, prioritizes the car over the pedestrian. Currently, the plans for Douglas Avenue, the major thoroughfare, includes only minimal bicycle infrastructure, shared lane symbols (City of Wichita 2013). Lack of focus on the pedestrian and bicyclist only reinforces the auto-dominated downtown. Douglas Avenue is a missed opportunity and needs a re-envisioned strategy based upon current needs. I hypothesized that better understanding the lived biking experience of Downtown Wichita would help me to develop design recommendations that address current streetscape issues as they occur in daily life. This exploratory study documents the experiences of a small group of people who bicycle in or through downtown Wichita on a regular basis. First, participants recorded their experience visually and verbally by using GoPro cameras during a typical bike ride. Next, each participant reviewed their video with me, clarifying their comments and the overall experience. Dominant themes included: urban environment, bicycling infrastructure, road/traffic, safety and motorist behavior. The analysis of the bike rides and follow-up reflections were mapped over each participant’s route to reveal positive, negative, and neutral experiences categorized by theme. Final design strategies for selected areas (determined through analysis of experiences) were then produced based upon feedback and streetscape best practices. Bicyclists of Wichita are faced with many stressful situations during their daily routes. I have realized that downtown Wichita has more than a design problem to fix—an entire bicycle culture must be developed. I learned that while each participant was unique, they wanted the same things: safety, a pleasurable ride, and to be respected by motorists. Not all bicyclists’ needs can be answered through design; however, this proposal can help to create a safer and more pleasurable bicycling experience in downtown. An improved bicycle network provides humans with increased health, freedom to move, encourages and strengthens social connections, and provides a resilient form of transportation.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this study was to extend the application of culture into product design with particular attention to urban stre.etscape elements (known as street furniture). Poor understanding of culture and the lack of opportunity to use culture ina practical manner within the student group were explored as the problem areas. The initial motivation for the study stemmed from a desire to encourage the integration of the non-technological aspects of the design products, in which culture was categorised. This was believed to mainly achieve by developing a Cultural-Semiotic framework, which enables and encourages design students (novice designers) to approach culture in their projects. Therefore, a hypothesis was formulated to examine the extent of the .framework: A culturally orientated framework can be developed to determine important/significant variables to produce predictable culturally relevant changes in product design in general and urban streetscape elements in partl.cuIar. '' Culture could have strong interactions with product design in several ways, due to the symbolic qualities that a design product provides. Therefore, this enables products to be studied culturally, e.g. within a designer's mind (subjective aspects of culture) or outside his/her mind (objective aspects). To develop the framework, three fieldworks as a triangulation methodology were initially undertaken. Through Fieldwork 1 the author acquired a general idea about the current cultural understanding of novice designers. Fieldwork 2, examined the cultural extent of the design courses, and the understanding of culture amongst a wider and versatile audience. Meanwhile, Fieldwork 3 looked at how novice designers could convert cultural knowledge into practice. This established the problem areas and indicated the area of focus, which was representation. Representation is the process that gives product-signs their particular meaning. Then, a number of associated models were studied and the relevant ones were used as the basis. By implementing Schwartz Value Inventory, Four semantic functions of signs and the Saussrean model of sign, the Cultural-Semiotic framework was developed. The framework could perform on the degree of cultural meaning one might want to put into a design product. The framework was examined and evaluated through a workshop and a sample project session, involVing a selected group of novice designers. The Circuit of Culture model was used as an evaluation model alongside the SOLO Taxonomy, a model that describes the levels of increasing compleXity in a student's understanding of subjects. The emphasis was on the representational qualities of products. The result confirmed the role of the framework in enhancing the cultural understanding of novice designers. It specified: • The degree of cultural insight of a selected group; • The level of objectiVity in a totally subjective issue; • A deeper understanding of culture compared to the preliminary participants; • A certain degree of confirmation of the proposed hypothesis.

Abstract:
This project proposes a new urban aquifer strategy that utilizes stormwater to create a cascading plaza and an improved 'great street' in Washington DC. A system of urban aquifers is developed beneath the surface of the street, perched atop the compacted, impermeable soils below. This set of aquifers prevents stormwater from entering the existing combined sewer and allows trees to draw water from this new groundwater source and develop expansive root systems. On the surface, stormwater flows through interconnected planters where it irrigates and is filtered by vegetation before infiltrating to recharge the aquifer. At Cascade Plaza, sloping topography intersects the aquifer, and the new groundwater seeps out of the plaza steps, turning them into a miniature cascade, by gravity and water pressure alone. It collects in a web of runnels, pools at the lowest point, and overflows in high water, mysteriously disappearing below ground again to fill an underground reservoir. In this unique ecological system, water flows both above and below ground to mitigate excess stormwater and make the street and plaza more beautiful.

Abstract:
Consonance in urban form is contingent on the continuity of the fine grain architectural features that are imbued in the commodity of the evolved historic urban fabric. A city's past can be viewed therefore as a repository of urban form characteristics from which concise architectural responses can result in a congruent urban landscape. This thesis proposes new methods to evaluate the interplay of architectural elements that can be traced throughout the lifespan of the particular evolving urban areas under scrutiny, and postulates a theory of how the mapping of historical urban form can correlate with deriving parameters for new buildings.

Abstract:
AbstractA significant portion of the cycling experience is influenced by the streetscape, and this impact varies throughout the year. The temporal dynamic of streetscape has been neglected in most previous studies, including urban public mobility route choices. This paper examines the correlation between dockless bike sharing and streetscape as well as spatial elements in different seasons using a large amount of GPS bike trajectory data collected by LIME. The study shows that: (1) DBS volume is significantly influenced by seasonal streetscape factors such as roads, cars, sidewalks, tree, and vegetation color; (2) How significantly these seasonal factors affect DBS volume differs in summer and autumn; (3) In both summer and autumn models, non-seasonal factors like mixed land use score, street network connectivity, etc., are significant. Some non-seasonal factors only impact the DBS volume in one season; (4) When adding subjective perception to models of both seasons, model explanatory does get improved very slightly.

Abstract:
AbstractRecently, many new studies emerged to apply computer vision (CV) to street view imagery (SVI) dataset to objectively extract the view indices of various streetscape features such as trees to proxy urban scene qualities. However, human perceptions (e.g., imageability) have a subtle relationship to visual elements which cannot be fully captured using view indices. Conversely, subjective measures using survey and interview data explain more human behaviors. However, the effectiveness of integrating subjective measures with SVI dataset has been less discussed. To address this, we integrated crowdsourcing, CV, and machine learning (ML) to subjectively measure four important perceptions suggested by classical urban design theory. We first collected experts’ rating on sample SVIs regarding the four qualities which became the training labels. CV segmentation was applied to SVI samples extracting streetscape view indices as the explanatory variables. We then trained ML models and achieved high accuracy in predicting the scores. We found a strong correlation between predicted complexity score and the density of urban amenities and services Point of Interests (POI), which validates the effectiveness of subjective measures. In addition, to test the generalizability of the proposed framework as well as to inform urban renewal strategies, we compared the measured qualities in Pudong to other five renowned urban cores worldwide. Rather than predicting perceptual scores directly from generic image features using convolution neural network, our approach follows what urban design theory suggested and confirms various streetscape features affecting multi-dimensional human perceptions. Therefore, its result provides more interpretable and actionable implications for policymakers and city planners.

Abstract:
Abstract Among contemporary Asian cities, Hanoi stands out as having one of the longest histories. Any understanding of Hanoi’s distinctive built environment requires the exploration of its dynamic evolution across periods marked by diverse external influences. Logan (1994) pointed out that: the Hanoi townscape was not the product of chance forces, nor even merely the result of architectural and town planning fashions changing over time; rather each of the successive political regimes set out deliberately to impose on Hanoi its own set of beliefs about the way that urban centres should function. Each regime proceeded to design buildings, streetscapes and whole districts to demonstrate those beliefs, and, by so doing, also to demonstrate its mastery of the city and its people.

Abstract:
The escalating intensity and duration of heat and flood events in cities increase the importance of green infrastructure design that responds to climate change challenges. The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate the potential of a rapid precinct scaled design approach for street tree planting choices that enables simultaneous assessment of visual impact and environmental performance factors including shade quantification and flood responsiveness. This chapter describes a street tree design decision support system (DDSS) drawing from advances in computational botany, entertainment industries, light engineering, and hydrology modelling. The DDSS is tested at both street and precinct scale using two case studies with results demonstrating the feasibility of rapid scenario assessment of tree placement and species selection. The DDSS allows the streetscape street tree design process to integrate the consideration of changing climatic challenges alongside community aesthetic preferences and provides an extensible framework for designing more resilient and comfortable urban spaces.

Abstract:
The research seeks to produce insights on the spatial configuration of collective spaces where large scale infrastructure propels urban transformation. Focusing on the meaning, character and programmatic qualities of urban spaces in transformation as outcomes of fluctuating processes, it deals with complex spatial forming dynamics of urban streetscapes: the non-traditional conjugations of spaces, boundaries and territories. These spaces foster unexpected notions of proximity, territoriality, permeability and critical boundaries, investigated by means of specific parameters manifesting and interacting in time. This can help upgrade the design of architecture and urban projects to innovative techno-cultural practices and improve their integration in the urban fabric; urgent matter within the hyper-complex conditions of contemporary urban realities. The case of Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes in Barcelona, where a car-oriented open-space based on a variety of spatial manifestations turns into a formalized urban centrality, is used to unveil the complex convergence of streetscapes and urban infrastructures in contemporary urban transformations.

Abstract:
Over the last decade, a new generation of city design paradigms has emerged as a result of advancing technology. Communication and sharing technologies are now a driving force in defining new spatial development. Traditionally, urban public spaces have ensured the functional operation and resource sharing of a city, with streets, plazas, and parks playing a crucial role in supporting cultural and socio- economic functions. New sharing economies allow a process for underused resources to be easily shared or transferred to others for greater benefits to an urban community. However, these sharing economies and technologies can also dramatically redefine urban public space. As part of smart city development, designers are questioning the social, cultural and economic effects of a shared economy on the use and experience of public space, including the function and configuration of individual plazas, parks, and streetscapes. At this stage it is not yet clear how sharing economies will change the activities and formation of space in city parks, streets and plazas. Beginning with a robust examination of relevant literature, we explore the potential impacts that sharing economies and smart technology may have on the way urban public spaces are generated, used, and altered. If space in cities is a continuum from the most public along a street, to the most intimate within our homes, this spectrum can be made ambiguous by new technologies and business platforms in a sharing economy. At the public end, streetscapes will change as autonomous cars and sharing technologies alter parking, drop-off zones and driving lanes. Sharing economies may also increase, clarify, or confuse POPS (Privately Owned Public Spaces). At the extremes of the public/privacy spectrum, we study how sharing models such as AirBnB may change the nature of our living rooms, streets and neighborhoods.

Abstract:
In the city of Detroit, policy interventions, public life and urban design are intertwined. Civic spaces that are uniqueto the Detroit landscape have evolved overtime in response to political momentum (or lack thereof) and design directions, informing and informed by community leadership and human use. This paper will track the evolution of three central types of urban spaces in Detroit, documenting morphology alongside contemporaneous social, economic and cultural contexts that intersect with urban space. This research and documentation seeks to link the braided narratives of design, policy and community experience in the historical development of three spatial typologies – commercial corridors and streetscapes, the vacant lot as neighborhood landscape, and the changing site of the community center from civic structure to repurposed residential space – all of which are central tourban form and public life in the city. This work is couched in a larger narrative of urban development and design in an industrial legacy city, including histories of racist policy, deep disinvestment and outmigration that have had a profound impact on the spatial experience of residents in the city. This past has also informed the role of design in the formulation of iterative public spaces. Research methods include: archival research of news clippings, city policy, urban photography, and drawings; graphic documentation and analysis of typological change over time; and testimony from community leaders and designers. The paper seeks to overlay political and social trajectories with design evolution of urban spaces and their role in community life and thus account for the complexities the built environment unique to Detroit overtime. The resulting documentation will tell the story of changing urban spaces in a political and social context and in relationship with public life in the city of Detroit.

Abstract:
Over time I have seen various attempts, both successes and fail-ures to ‘save’ Detroit. Some of the late-20th Century development projects were intended to save the city, such as John Portman’s Renaissance Center downtown on the river. However, the devel-opment trend in that era was to turn their backs on the urban landscape, razie historic buildings and vibrant neighborhoods: the developers lacked a sensitivity to the existing urban context. They could not see the potential value of robust communities and a walk-able urban streetscape; they were trying to save Detroit. Before defining Save-As, let’s define what Save-As is not. The issue with saving Detroit is partly that those doing the saving often presume to know what the city needs, and worse, turn their backs on the communities and the citizens who live and work there. As we know when working on a computer, there is an option for saving a project you are working on without destroying the previous version. It is called Save-as. Urban visionaries understand that if we re-vision Detroit through a contemporary design lens, if Saved-As, we have the opportunity to merge modern urban design strategies with the strengths of the existing framework, such as Detroit’s communities, culture and beautiful architecture. In doing so, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for urban-dwellers as well as the surroundings, benefiting through economic growth and vibrant neighborhoods. In this context, Save-As is therefore about retaining what works–and building up from there. As an educator, I feel that this is an important distinction for students to understand: to not try to save Detroit. The current Detroit riverfront now boasts a renovated Renaissance Center: thankfully there is no more concrete berm. The riverfront now consists of walkable and vibrant public spaces. One of my hunches in this research is that successful projects like this retain less of an emphasis on saving as they do in Save-As: creating a hybrid urban landscape of the best aspects of the what–is now–with what could be, socio-politically and eco-culturally.
