🗺 Map of the Week: Washington, D.C. – 85th Percentile Speed, Feb 2024 This week's map shows Washington D.C.’s unique network design while showcasing 85th percentile speed on major roads. The city’s layout was planned in the late 18th century and features broad avenues intersecting at circles and squares. Unlike most cities with a grid street pattern, Washington D.C.’s network design includes diagonal corridors that create interesting junctions requiring the use of traffic circles.

"We need to see this joined-up thinking at all scales of place, co-created with the community. Often development is proposed which doesn’t work for people, or for place, or for the planet, with minimal amenity for homes, with the development leaning heavily on place and nature in the wider area to ‘prop up’ poor design." Read Susan May's blog post on People, Place, Planet for The Glass-House:
In our final edition of our People, Place, Planet: Think Pieces Susan May offers some thoughts on how we can better join up the needs of People, Place and our Planet. https://lnkd.in/e62yfaXV Urban Design Learning #WEdesign #peopleplaceplanet

Were the property lines drawn by someone spinning a wheel? 😀 A development like this scream for better understanding of urban design principles. Not only does it fail to prioritize functionality, but it also impacts community connectivity, infrastructure efficiency, and even property value. Good design isn’t just about fitting plots into a space, it’s about creating harmony for the people who live there. 📢 Let’s hope future developments learn from this masterpiece. #RealEstateDevelopment #UrbanPlanning #UrbanDesign

🏛 How do we breathe new life into old spaces? In my master’s thesis, I tackled the challenge of adaptive reuse by transforming an underutilized urban area into a dynamic knowledge neighborhood. This plan integrates riverfront development, street redevelopments, and improvements in urban character to create a cohesive, sustainable environment. 🌊 The riverfront acts as both a natural and social connector, while the redeveloped streets enhance pedestrian movement and neighbourhood identity. The result? A harmonious blend of history and modernity that fosters innovation, learning, and community. ❓ : What role do you think adaptive reuse will play in the future of urban design? #AdaptiveReuse #UrbanDesign #ThesisProject #RiverfrontDevelopment #StreetRedevelopment #UrbanCharacter #KnowledgeNeighborhood #SustainableCities
