structure affects function Urban design matters! Image source: Duany, Plater-Zyberk (DPZ) “driveable suburban” separated land uses low densities auto-oriented “walkable urban” mixed land uses medium/high densities transportation choices structure function vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) greenhouse gas emissions commuting congestion location-efficiency energy efficiency physical activity

retrofitting the built environment location-efficiency …places that require less time, money, and driving. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Rosslyn-Ballston Metro Corridor (Arlington, VA) “The future surrounds us… it’s just unevenly distributed.” -- Urban Land Institute
