▼ The purpose of this research is to identify correlations with bike station ridership for Pronto, a bike share program in Seattle. The daily number of trips and station-level trips from October 13th, 2014 to October 12th, 2015 was obtained from Pronto. Data for independent variables were from various sources. Polynomial regression models with cubic and quadratic terms are used to evaluate the relationship between weather and temporal factors on daily system-wide ridership and the effects on different types of users. Multiple linear regression models are used to investigate the effects of
built environment variables on station-level ridership in 0.25-mile, 0.5-mile, and 0.75-mile scales. The models have high goodness of fit and identify a number of variables having statistically significant correlations with ridership. Temperature and wind speed are not linearly associated with daily ridership. Rain, weekends, and holidays decrease daily ridership. Different effects of weather and temporal factors on annual members and short-term pass holders are also captured in this research. Annual members, who are less affected by rainfalls than short-term pass holders, are more likely to use Pronto on weekdays while short-term pass holders tend to use Pronto on weekends and holidays. In addition, the station-level ridership is negatively associated with job density, proximity to parks, and proximity to waterfront in all three buffers. The findings will help planners and managers to predict daily ridership, optimize bike locations, and improve bike rebalance efficiency.

▼ Since China initiated its pro-market reform in 1978, the way Chinese cities are governed has undergone a profound change. Central to such change is the fundamental revival of
urban land as economic assets, because of which making plans for future land use has become an increasingly important government function and therefore the practice of
urban planning (chengshi guihua) has begun to expand and take shape as a profession. However, with the expansion and professionalization of Chinese
planning, there is also a growing criticism against the way
urban planning has been developed into a development- and profit-driven profession. This dissertation thus aims to examine the evolutionary process of Chinese
planning, through which the key factors causing such contradictory development are identified: First, since the 1994 tax sharing reform, the government at the local level has been put under intense pressure to increase its reliance on land transfer revenue and pursue land development. Increasingly, the role of
urban planning has been limited to serving as a tool to facilitate the process, leaving other concerns largely unaddressed. Second, with the production of
urban planning now becoming a marketized activity, not only has the practice of Chinese planners become profit-driven, but more importantly, the increasing market competition has also impelled them to act in conformity with their clients' interests, even in opposition to the interests of the general public. Third, the professional development of Chinese
planning, from accreditation to licensing, is mainly under the control of the government. Although Chinese planners are allowed to connect with each other through the two long-existing professional associations - China Association of City
Planning and
Urban Planning Society of China, neither of them have been shouldered with actual responsibilities in overseeing and regulating the behaviors of their members. Based on the factors identified above, there is an urgent need for Chinese planners to advocate for an effective governing representation, only through which the profession can enforce strict adherence to self-regulation, better harness its increasingly marketized practice, and promote its further growth and professional development.

▼ This dissertation focuses on the influence of the
built environment on the geographic distribution of walking behavior and the obese epidemic. Fundamentally, obesity results from energy imbalance. The study aims to help planners understand how to change neighborhood
environment in order to reconstruct energy balance: decreasing energy intake by supplying healthy food
environment and increasing energy output by introducing physical activity supporting
environment. Neighborhood-level factors are hypothesized to influence obesity and walking behavior via exposure and access mechanisms (Feng et al., 2010; Moudon et al., 2007; Saelens and Handy, 2008). The hypothesis raises the following questions for this dissertation to answer: Does obesity cluster in space? Where and why does obesity cluster? How much walking occurs around home? What home neighborhood
built environment characteristics are indeed associated with walking? How may individuals change their walking behavior after introduction of light rail? By answering the questions above, the dissertation presents new evidence for future prevention studies: The geographic distribution of obesity is not random and related to neighborhood property value and residential density. Taking Seattle King County as an example, this area presents a north to south obesity gradient, with the northern part being less obese, richer and more densely populated and the southern part being more obese, lower income, and less densely populated. In terms of walking, the evidence that over half of walking occurs within the home neighborhood emphasizes the importance of the role of the home neighborhood in promoting physical activity. Higher residential and job density, which correlate with high street intersection, sidewalk and fitness density, would effectively support walking behavior in home neighborhoods. Also, after the introduction of light rail, people tend to walk more in station areas, which implies that rail transit may help increase the number of potential customers for retail and service near station areas. This dissertation has limitations that point to areas of future research. The circular shapes used to detect obesity clusters may not really represent the boundary of a neighborhood. In reality, neighborhood boundaries have complex shapes (Kulldorff et al., 2006; Patil and Taillie, 2004; K Takahashi et al., 2008). More research needs to be done on incorporating detection methods with neighborhood boundaries usually separated by natural obstacles such as lakes or rivers. Finally, more natural experiments with longer assessment period need to be carried out to compare walking behavior in free-living daily activities before and after interventions.

▼ Urban design theorists have developed a body of knowledge about the characteristics of places that support public life. More recently, researchers have developed quantitative methods for measuring certain aspects of
urban form. However, little work has been done to apply quantitative methods to
urban design theory. This thesis proposes a new metrics for representing
urban form attributes of
urban areas that support public life. These are organized as the Lively
Urban Form (LUF) framework. The attributes measured were identified based on a review of influential
urban design theorists dealing with
urban form. The analytic framework was applied to eight study sites in Copenhagen and Seattle in order to test its ability to express
urban form differences among these sites which affect their support for public life. Discussion of results, limitations, and potential applications of the method follow.

▼ Gentrification, first noticed in the largest cities of
the United States in the 1960s, had diffused down the
urban
hierarchy by the 21st century. This new use of the
urban landscape
ushers in concerns over how revitalization of formerly disinvested
areas of the cities and the consequent in-migration of
higher-income populations has affected low-income populations.
Cincinnati is one medium-sized city that has been affected by
gentrification and the displacement of its low-income, largely
African-American population. Using Hammel and Wyly’s (1996)
gentrification criteria, it was determined that 26 census tracts in
the City of Cincinnati experienced gentrification between 2000 and
2016. Fifteen of those tracts experienced displacement of the
African-American population during this time. Logistic regression
revealed that a gentrifying tract was 4.6 times more likely to
experience displacement than a non-gentrifying tract between 2000
and 2016 indicating a possible cause and effect relationship.By
using triangulation of three data sources: U.S. census data, Google
Streetview imagery, and interviews with members of Community
Development Corporations in four gentrifying neighborhoods in
Cincinnati, this thesis explored possible reasons why two of these
census tracts experienced displacement of African-American
population and two did not. Tracts 55 (Madisonville) and 74
(Northside) were recipients of major economic investments in their
business districts by public and private corporations after 2009.
It is argued that substantial economic investment in these two
formerly disinvested neighborhoods caused substantial increases in
median housing values and median rent and led to displacement of
lower-income individuals, many of whom were African-American.
Google Streetview imagery examined change in the
built environment
in these two tracts between 2007 and 2014/16 and confirmed that
these changes corresponded with gentrification. Conversely, Tract
84 (College Hill) did not experience displacement nor did its
built
environment change much between 2010 and 2016. Tract 84, unlike
Tracts 55 and 74, had a substantial supply of high-quality housing
stock at affordable prices which attracted higher-income
in-migrants between 2000 and 2010. It appears that two separate
housing markets operating in Tract 84 keep in-migrants from
competing for the same housing opportunities as the lower-income
African-American population. Tract 19 (Walnut Hills) was further
along in the gentrification process in 2000 than its counterparts
in the other three tracts. Displacement of African-American
population occurred between 2000 and 2010 as median housing
values/median rents increased, but between 2010 and 2016,
displacement was curtailed. Most of the post- 2010 economic
investment was focused on Walnut Hill’s business district and the
renovation of vacant buildings for housing and did not result in
displacement between 2000 and 2010. Interviews with CDC members
revealed that the most poignant issue in their neighborhoods was
the provision of…

PLANNING: A CASE STUDY IN ABERDEEN, WASHINGTON Ashley Bennis Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Marina Alberti
Urban Design and
Planning There has been little empirical study of how emergency planners, the public at large or even scientists from different disciplines understand and use various representations of hazards to communicate risk for disaster preparedness. Yet effective communication is the critical component that helps communities understand, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. One example of this is preparing for an earthquake and tsunami event. The most common way of talking about earthquake safety to the public has been through universal deterministic models that use crisp, clear lines to designate regions at differing degrees of risk. A community outreach workshop was conducted in the coastal city of Aberdeen, Washington to understand how individuals interpret and use hazard information for short and long term
planning, using a new interactive mapping technology referred to as WeTable. Twelve residents attended and separated into groups that differed in the hazard map content they received (deterministic or probabilistic) and the
planning context for their task (asset-based or hazard-based) with responses recorded to observe patterns. There were no significant differences in the deliberations of the groups associated with the hazard map content they received. However, context influenced group deliberations, with asset-based
planning groups able to look past the initial realization of all their services being within the inundation zone to consider what their new normal might look like; whether that be completely rebuilding or establishing a new community on underused land, bordering other cities in the region. The notes from round three in each of the vulnerability-focused groups saw that the only mentioning of the long term was in contemplations of whether or not the city could, or should rebuild. Although this study can only provide limited qualitative insights, findings suggest that contrary to some fears, providing probabilistic information may not adversely affect
planning. Findings also imply that future hazard mitigation and community
planning efforts could be improved by using an asset-based approach to
planning, in order to create risk-prepared, resilient communities. Additionally, the community would benefit from incorporating interactive technology, such as the WeTable, to help participants be more a part of the
planning efforts in their cities.

▼ The number of immigrants is continuously increasing in the U.S., and their rapid weight gain over time since entering this country has become a serious health concern. Immigrant and ethnic minority women have been shown to be a physically inactive group compared to non-immigrant and non-Hispanic white women. However, the findings were based on self-reported physical activity (PA) measures and did not consider all types of PA. Studies on park use have found that ethnic minorities were observed to be more sedentary at public parks than white park users, but these were not adjusted for important covariates such as socio-economic status. By comparing Korean immigrant women and Caucasian women, differences in PA and park use behaviors between the two ethnic women groups were investigated. In addition, previous studies on the effect of acculturation on PA by immigrants have shown mixed findings, and the effect of acculturation on PA is still unclear. To explore the association between acculturation and obesity-related behaviors, Korean immigrant women's behaviors were examined. In this study, the intensity and the location of the activity were assessed by accelerometer for every 30-second epoch and with GPS devices at 30-second intervals during waking time for seven consecutive days. The participants were also asked to complete a seven-day travel diary and a questionnaire. A convenience sample of 60 Korean immigrant women and a matching sample of 69 Caucasian women in the Seattle metropolitan area showed that Caucasian women overall are more active than Korean women; they engage in more minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and of walking per day on average. Multivariate models demonstrate that there is an independent effect of race per se on physical activity among women. Regarding park behaviors, adjusted estimates indicate no racial effect on park visitation and on MVPA at parks. The differences in park-based MVPA were explained by other factors that had not been controlled in previous studies, such as perceived barriers to PA. Acculturation is negatively associated with Korean immigrant women's walking, but has null association with MVPA at parks and driving time. Their travel behavior already seems to be assimilated to that of typical Americans, but their walking has not increased to the level of their Caucasian counterparts commensurate with their acculturation. Some immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for a long time might nevertheless interact infrequently with the mainstream culture, and they are therefore less likely to assimilate to the mainstream. This study serves as a pilot to examine behavioral patterns of Korean immigrant and Caucasian women. MVPA, walking, park use, and driving behaviors can explain important aspects of their lifestyles. If expanded, its interdisciplinary framework between
urban planning and public health could contribute to policy formation to promote active living and healthy communities for minorities, immigrants, and for all groups of the population. Further…

▼ The American elderly population is growing at unprecedented rates, six times faster than the rest of the population, and by 2050, cohorts 65 years and older will have doubled (Krout & Wethington, Eds., 2003). In a few short years, they will account for 24% of the population, yet cities have not planned for this silver tsunami. There is an urgent need to ensure the age-friendliness of our cities. This research begins with a literature review that focuses on the impact of the built environment, specifically with regards to seniors. The literature review serves a secondary role, creating an initial list of criteria around the needs of an aging population in the central city. Based on this list of built environment focused criteria, 88 potential indicators were developed and shared with 34 aging experts; professionals within the fields of aging and the built environment. The iterative survey conducted in this study suggests that there are 24 key indicators that aging experts consider the most effective in creating an age-friendly city. Indicators were chosen based on their relative measurability, sensitivity to change, and action oriented and were ranked according to the following purposes: city policy, city implementation and infrastructure, greatest number of seniors served, and city-to-city comparison.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users in the road environment, particularly in the developing world. To gain a better understanding of pedestrian crash causation, the built environment has been given much attention in the international traffic safety research. However, research of this nature is still scarce in the developing world, including South Africa. This study investigates the link between the built environment and the incidence of pedestrian crashes. The study used pedestrian crash data collected in Cape Town over a 3-year period between 2012 and 2014. The research method involved screening, geocoding and supplementing poor quality secondary data on pedestrian crashes. Moreover, the study applies a variety of analytical methods including univariate, bivariate, geospatial and multivariate analyses. Four GIS-based spatial analysis methods were used to identify clusters of pedestrian crashes within the study area. These methods include the planar kernel density estimation (KDE), the Anselin local Moran’s I, the Getis-Ord Gi* and the Optimized Hot Spot Analysis (OHA). Two modelling techniques, the Generalised Linear Modelling (GLM) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) modelling were used to relate the built environment and population variables to total; intersection; and killed and seriously injured (KSI) pedestrian crashes. For this analysis, the data was aggregated and analysed at the census suburb level. Among other results, it was found that population; land use mix; traffic signals; roundabouts/mini-circles; industrial use; four- and multi-legged intersections; and high mobility roads are associated with greater numbers of pedestrian crashes. The study also revealed that pedestrian crashes are positively related to socio-economic deprivation. In addition, spatial variations of the associations in the models were investigated and discussed. Hotspots of pedestrian crashes were identified mostly in the South Eastern regions of Cape Town which are also areas where economically-disadvantaged residents are concentrated. The presented models can be used to predict future pedestrian crashes using information that is easily available at the city level. The models are also crucial for the planning of safe walking environments which are particularly needed in South Africa and other developing countries.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Voetgangers is die kwesbaarste padgebruikers in die padomgewing, veral in die ontwikkelende wêreld. Om ʼn beter begrip van voetgangerbotsing oorsake te verkry, is baie aandag aan die geboude omgewing gegee in internasionale verkeerveiligheid navorsing. Navorsing van hierdie aard is egter steeds skaars in die ontwikkelende wêreld, insluitend Suid-Afrika. Hierdie studie ondersoek die skakel tussen die geboude omgewing en die voorkoms van voetgangerbotsings. Die studie het voetgangerbotsing data, ingesamel in Kaapstad oor ʼn drie-jaar periode tussen 2012 en 2014, gebruik.

▼ Interdisciplinary collaboration has become a key strategy in the fields of the
built environment to understand and address complex environmental and societal issues. The College of
Built Environments at the University of Washington has applied the idea of interdisciplinarity to education, offering a series of college-wide interdisciplinary studios since 2009. This study conducts a qualitative review of the interdisciplinary studios at the College of
Built Environments from 2009-2019. Through fifteen in-depth interviews with previous studio instructors, this study explores how studio instructors understand the idea of interdisciplinarity, how their understandings are reflected in the studio pedagogy, and what are the future potentials for the interdisciplinary studio in the University of Washington College of
Built Environments.

▼ Vehicle emissions are the most contributory source of
urban air pollution in the major metropolitan areas in Europe and the US, so much recent research has focused on transportation-related air pollution (TRAP). However, air pollution in Shanghai is now becoming much more serious than in most of the US, the result of both motorization and industrialization. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is to be blamed for the worst pollution in recent years. The record shows that the density of PM2.5 is hovering around 400 micrograms per cubic meter, an almost unthinkable level. These days, the elderly and children are required to stay indoors and some air flights are cancelled. The economic success of Shanghai is counterbalanced by health concerns and the negative economic impacts associated with air pollution. This study focuses on TRAP-PM2.5 and aims to explain how air quality differs within the region and where the vulnerable populations (adults over 65 and children under 14) live. This study uses two methodologies to assess the changes and dispersion of PM2.5 produced by the growing traffic volume between 2003 and 2009. Methodology 1 (TRAP by Year) aims to examine the shifting total amount of PM2.5 emissions produced by the transportation sector over time. It is calculated with annual vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT) and related fuel consumption by vehicle types. Methodology 2 (TRAP by Location) focuses on the daily transportation-related PM2.5 emissions across subareas in Shanghai. It is calculated via traffic density. Census, traffic and air pollution data, GIS Geostatistical tools, the Gaussian Dispersion Model and the Kringing Interpolation Tool are used to analyze PM2.5 dispersion in the Inner City and the suburbs of Shanghai. The Shanghai TRAP-Spatial Health Hazard Priority Area (TRAP-SHHPA) scoring method is then developed to highlight the more polluted subarea locations where the vulnerable populations are concentrated. The findings show that policies to restrict motorcycles and heavy trucks outside the central districts and the imposition of cleaner emission standards help to reduce the concentrations of PM2.5 in the city center. However, the study also shows that PM2.5 concentrations in suburban areas, primarily residential areas, are increasing.

▼ The urban population of cities world-wide is steadily growing, causing pressure on land use for different purposes, such as residential, commercial, or recreational use. A growing urban population will also create new public health challenges, especially due to the epidemic increase of Non-Communicable Diseases. Creating opportunities for and increasing physical activity in public open spaces could represent a crucial resource to tackle health problems of urban residents. This multiple case study explores the strategies and approaches of two case cities (Malmö and Copenhagen) in connection to planning for physical activity in public open spaces and the collaborative efforts behind it. The empirical material for the study consists of 9 interviews with professionals connected to urban planning from the municipalities of Malmö and Copenhagen. The collaborations between urban planners and other actors were analysed using collaboration theory. Various barriers and facilitators of collaboration were identified, as well as findings which can suggest more fruitful collaboration.

▼ This thesis investigates the concept of ecocentrism and how an emerging ecocentric worldview might uniquely shape the
built environment. This thesis is particularly interested in the role of sacred space in
urban development, and how the notion of sacredness, unique to an ecocentric worldview, might affect various aspects of the
built environment. These issues are explored in two basic parts. First, three basic worldviews are discussed\u2014the pre-modern worldview, the modern worldview, and the emerging ecocentric worldview – specifically on the topics of nature, space, and the city. Second, a qualitative research study of three ecotopian' communities is presented – Village Homes in Davis, CA; Dancing Rabbit near Rutledge, MO; and Arcosanti near Cordes Junction, AZ. An 'ecotopia' is a community that is founded with the intention of harmonizing the
built environment with the natural
environment. For the study, individual interviews were used to gain the perspective of residents, asking specifically about significance, shared values, sacredness, and how these topics are reflected in the
built environment. Finally, findings from the fieldwork were used to extrapolate a theoretical process by which these communities become to be seen as sacred by residents, as well as a compilation of generalized
built environment design themes. This research finds that residents of the 'ecotopias' consider their community to be significant places. Residents highly value being near to the natural world, and consider nature to have intrinsic value. They also value community life and expressed that individuality is critical to healthy community. The
built environments of these communities express these shared values in many ways. Residents generally consider a sacred experience as a melding between self, community, and the natural world, and feel that their community facilitates these experiences more than a conventional
urban environment. This thesis concludes that the residents' sense of sacredness reflects the concept of 'self-realization' described in contemporary deep ecology literature, and that this 'self-realization' is facilitated by many aspects of the
built environments of the ecotopias. In this way, the ecotopias demonstrate many aspects of sacred space in a contemporary ecocentric context.

▼ Comprehending and promoting well-being has been regarded as a key goal in academic research and policy making given its significant role in creating and maintain healthy, productive societies. As urban planners focus on designing and maintaining living environments, they have the potential to enhance the well-being of residents and provide opportunities for all to flourish. It is therefore critical for planners to understand how the built environment influences well-being. Despite the theoretical importance in linking planning to subjective well-being (SWB), the attention to SWB in planning is relatively recent. There remain significant gaps in the planning literature including inadequate research on the emotional aspects of SWB and omission of key SWB determinants in analysis due to a lack of interdisciplinary perspectives. In this dissertation, we hope to fill these gaps in the planning literature, add to the understanding of how attributes of the neighborhood influence the evaluative and emotional dimensions of SWB, and explore analysis methods best suited to study the neighborhood-SWB relationship. To this end, two detailed literature reviews were conducted to identify an extensive list of SWB determinants to include in the analysis. Original data were collected via a survey conducted in the Minneapolis-St Paul Twin Cities area from October 17, 2016 to October 25, 2017. The data collection effort was part of the Sustainable Healthy Cities project funded by the National Science Foundation. We find that evaluative and emotional SWB have varied determinants, both at the personal and neighborhood level. We also find evidence to support that relationships between neighborhood attributes and evaluative and emotional SWB can be asymmetric. Specifically, there is a typology of neighborhood attributes in terms of how they impact SWB when these attributes perform poorly/absent, at all levels of performance, and only at a high performance. The typology is also sensitive to modeling techniques as well as data coding schemes. Across all models used the nature of the relationships between neighborhood attributes and SWB is found to vary based on the SWB measure used. Given the sensitivity of findings to SWB measures used, analysis modeling and coding, directions for future research are discussed.

▼ This dissertation intervenes in a debate that was published in the journal City in 2011 over how Deleuze and Guattari’s conceptual repertoire might profitably contribute to critical
urban inquiry. However, rather than siding with the pro-Deleuze and Guattari contingent that can loosely be lumped together as “assemblage urbanists” on the one hand, or with the proponents of more traditional Marxian critical
urban theory on the other, I argue that Deleuze and Guattari’s underexplored political philosophy is not only capable of grounding critical
urban inquiry, but is nuanced enough to address not only the productive role of political economy, but also extraeconomic concerns, such as ethics and aesthetics, both of which are significant forces in many cities, including the redevelopment of the South Lake Union (SLU) neighborhood (Seattle, Washington, USA). Also drawing on Deleuze’s reading of David Hume, I argue that all institutionalized motivations, both economic and extraeconomic, are but different rationalizations of underlying human sympathies, and that given this common foundation, it is necessary to develop a critical
urban theory that can also account for the typically neglected and often marginalized sphere of the extraeconomic. This argument is based on a close reading of Deleuze and Guattari’s conceptualizations of the relationship between the state and capitalism across both volumes of Capitalism and Schizophrenia that I adapt for
urban studies via a Foucauldian archaeology of SLU. In terms of content, the empirical investigation that spans sixty years of documents related to statewide growth management, regional
planning, as well as
urban comprehensive
planning and a local developer with a compatible vision of how
urban redevelopment should occur, leads me to posit that we are seeing a new form of coordinated urbanism, and that all these entities together can be understood as constituting what I call the Coordinated City’s Mutation Machine.

▼ The number of homeless sleeping outside in Seattle has increased significantly in the past few years, from 2,600 in 2012 to 4,500 in 2016. In response, the City has begun to spearhead the development of temporary sanctioned homeless encampments on vacant public land as an innovative alternative to an overburdened emergency shelter system. Vacant land remains a valuable, limited commodity in the rapidly growing Puget Sound region, however, making it difficult for the city to want to remove developable land from its inventory, even if only temporarily. Thus, land beneath and adjacent to rights-of-way presents an option for the placement of homeless encampments that doesn’t utilize developable land. Numerous bridges, overpasses, and viaducts are employed in the city’s transportation system to overcome physical impediments such as rivers and steep slopes, creating voids or “liminal spaces” in the
urban landscape beneath them. This thesis looks to expand upon the City of Seattle’s current site selection process for encampments by considering these covered liminal spaces as a viable option. The first section of this document covers the history and policies surrounding homelessness in the United States, while precedent studies examine different ways in which covered liminal spaces have been re-conceptualized as public assets that are either informal, formal, or prototypical in nature. The research study chapter describes the background research, GIS analysis, and field visits that were conducted during the site selection process. A scoring system was developed based upon a site’s access to transit, proximity to homeless service centers, and current use, with three sites being ultimately chosen for field visits. Design recommendations and vignettes are subsequently presented for each site. In the end, expansion of the City of Seattle’s encampment site-selection process to include covered liminal spaces offers up a significant amount of practicable underutilized land within the city for hosting the homeless while simultaneously improving otherwise discounted
urban spaces.

▼ Focusing on the relationship between individuals with dementia and their environments, this research explores how to improve quality of life for those with dementia by increasing the capacity of existing
urban public spaces. A content analysis of municipal
planning documents (N =51) contextualized interviews, conducted with municipal
urban planners (N =13) in the province of British Columbia, exploring their perspectives on designing dementia-friendly public spaces. Seven themes were identified from the findings. Furthermore, planners did not know much about
planning for dementia, either suggesting they were perhaps already addressing dementia through other disability guidelines, or saying they did not know what could be done in the
urban environment regarding dementia. They were open to learning more about dementia-friendly approaches. Incorporating the key dementia-friendly principles of familiarity, comfort, distinctiveness, accessibility, safety, inclusiveness and independence into age-friendly policy or Official Community Plans would promote designs that benefit persons with dementia, as well as many others with mental and physical impairments.

▼ This thesis considers the ways
built environment practitioners, namely
urban planners, architectural designers, and real estate developers, imagine the spaces they plan, design, and develop. In particular, it examines the
built and social consequences of said imaginings through a case study of the redevelopment of Seattle’s Yesler Terrace. Its policies and buildings are very much a discourse, the rhetorical meaning of which is made apparent through an against the grain reading of the various documents involved in their production. Using a critical discourse analysis, the thesis follows George Lipsitz (2007, 2011) and Anna Livia Brand (2018) to argue that Yesler is a
built expression of the “white spatial imaginary” through the ways its documentation selectively writes history, reproduces commercialized multiculturalism and environmentalism, and forms identities in and out of place. In this way, the thesis expands the notion of the white spatial imaginary into other parts of the
built environment using evidence from an overlooked archive.

▼ As cities continue to implement transit oriented development policies, the recognition of corresponding risk of gentrification and displacement have led to an interest in making the process more equitable and resilient. Incorporating equity and resilience into transit oriented development could be addressed through an abundant yet overlooked asset- alleyways. The original intention of transit oriented development, to support environmentally sustainable practices through densification and increased transit ridership are being compromised by the displacement of transit dependent and low income communities of color (Puget Sound Sage, 2015). Revisiting the role of the alley in the contemporary city, we can imagine new roles for these currently overlooked spaces. Incorporating affordable infill housing and green space in proximity to high frequency transit has multiple ecological and social benefits that contribute to community resilience. Referencing historic African American residential life along alleyways, spatial analysis, residential survey data, and alley behavioral observation, and a design case study in Tacoma; this paper explores the potential to build a better understanding of the perceptions and possibilities of alley focused transit oriented development that is equitable and resilient.

A arborização de vias urbanas pode se constituir num elemento bastante eficaz na amenização de altas temperaturas na camada intraurbana, através de mecanismos de sombreamento e evapotranspiração. Entretanto, entre os variados tipos de espécies arbóreas, quais seriam as mais indicadas para
utilização na arborização das vias, a fim de mitigar a temperatura do ar no ambiente urbano? A utilização de ferramentas computacionais é uma alternativa para análise desta questão, tendo em vista que, o uso destes programas auxilia as pesquisas na área de planejamento e avaliação do ambiente construído, por meio da simulação de variados cenários. Um programa bastante utilizado para estudos de interação entre a vegetação e microclimas urbanos é o ENVI-Met, o qual, no entanto, não contém em seu banco de dados, parâmetros relativos a espécies brasileiras, em particular as de cerrado, o que pode gerar cenários microclimáticos incorretos. O objetivo desta pesquisa é propor um método para avaliação do potencial de sombreamento de espécies usadas em arborização de vias urbanas. Para tanto, foram realizados medições de radiação solar incidente sob copas de algumas espécies, usadas no sombreamento de vias urbanas da cidade de Bauru (SP), cujos resultados foram comparados com os parâmetros
das mesmas espécies simulados pelo ENVI-Met. A partir do tratamento dos dados foi gerada uma ferramenta, através da qual é possível extrapolar os resultados para escolha de outras espécies. Assim, espera-se que este método contribua para a indicação de espécies que contenham potencial para mitigação da temperatura do ar nos ambientes construídos.
The afforestation of the urban streets can be a very effective element in the mitigation of high temperatures in urban layer through shading mechanisms and evapotranspiration. However, among the various types of tree species, which are the best indicated for use in street afforestation, to mitigate the air temperature in the urban environment? The use of computational tools would be an alternative to analyze this question, given that the use of these programs help in the research on planning and evaluation of the built environment through the simulation of various scenarios. A program widely used to study the interaction between urban
vegetation and microclimates is the ENVI-Met, which, however, does not contain parameters in your database…

▼ Today many communities are trying to find different
solutions for mitigating the negative impacts of growth, impervious
surfaces, and stormwater runoff on the
environment. Sustainable
stormwater management is a challenge for cities but there is also
opportunity. The purpose of this research was to explore an
environmentally positive scenario to how Autonomous Vehicles will
impact communities. The research attempted to gain insight about
Autonomous Vehicles and their impact on the
built environment,
trees, and stormwater. For this report three methods of research
were used: background experience, four case studies, and a site
selected scenario case study. With the idea that Autonomous Vehicle
adoption is going to occur in the next 10-30 years this is going to
change not only the way we travel but also create changes to the
built environment. Autonomous Vehicles can have positive
implications to communities by allowing new ways to incorporate
trees as green infrastructure and to reduce impervious surface
leading to stormwater problems. Autonomous Vehicle technology has
the potential to create available spaces in our communities. The
built environment changes would most affect street design width and
surface parking lots. The study revealed new areas of analysis to
be researched in terms of stormwater and Autonomous Vehicles. Green
infrastructure implementation, particularly tree planting, can be
used to mitigate stormwater runoff in cities due to changes to the
built environment resulting from the adoption of Autonomous
Vehicles.

▼ Until recently, data, technology, and practice have limited travel behavior research in its ability to uniquely capture individual-level details of urban environments. While previous studies have relied primarily on aggregate, zonal averages homogeneously attributed to unique individuals, this dissertation presents methods to more closely align measures of the urban environment with the individual as the unit of analysis. In short, disaggregated data for disaggregated analyses.Furthermore, previous studies have often focused on the immediate areas (1/4- to 1/2-mile radii) around trip origins and destinations, while little focus has been paid to the unique characteristics of the urban environment in between. In response, this research pioneers the use of a new spatial unit of analysis, the "individual access corridor" (IAC), to better understand how people may be influenced by certain urban design, land use, or transport characteristics experienced along their journey to a certain destination (e.g., stores, mixed use developments, schools, and transit stations). The primary goal of this research is to develop and test new methods to measure the urban environment. Three core principles (resolution, respondent, replicability) comprise the central evaluative framework guiding the exploration and development of these new methods. They are introduced in this dissertation as the "3R principles of methodological development." They guide the use of the IAC to capture high-resolution information about the urban environment (land use activity, transport access, and traveler perceptions) that can be uniquely attributed to each individual survey respondent in a replicable manner. This information, in turn, can support reliable and valid analyses of the influence of the urban environment on consumer behavior that are meaningful, rigorous, and generalizable. The secondary goal of this research is to test these new measures as inputs for travel behavior analyses of a relatively standard intercept travel survey – the 2008 Station Profile Survey for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system. Improving measures for these analyses is important because substantial effort and money is currently being spent on influencing traveler behavior in suburban/non-CBD areas, and for trips to transit. As most morning commuters across the U.S. drive to rapid transit stations, and over relatively short distances, substantial sustainability benefits could be realized by coaxing even a small fraction of these drivers to use "green" non-motorized travel (NMT) modes of bicycling and walking. As well as providing useful insights into designs and policies that support NMT, this study of rapid transit access behavior serves as a "proof of concept" for the development and application of the new methods to measure the urban environment explored in this research.In terms of its primary goal, this research shows that capturing high-resolution information of the urban environment can be uniquely attributed to each individual survey respondent in a…

▼ The United Nations projects that 68% of the world
population will live in urban areas by 2050. As urban areas
continue to grow, it is critical to consider how cities will be
redesigned and reimagined to ensure that they are healthy and
beneficial places that can properly support their residents. In
addition, college students have been identified as a vulnerable
population in regards to overall wellness. In Downtown Phoenix, one
the biggest elements of concern will be the built environment and
its influence on wellbeing as the city itself and Arizona State
University’s Downtown campus populations continue to expand. Given
this, the purpose of this study is two-fold. I applied
Social-Cognitive Theory as a framework to first, understand student
perceptions of the built and social environment and second, explore
how perceptions of the built and social environment influence
student wellbeing. I used semi-structured interviews and
participant-driven photo elicitation to answer these questions. The
study took place at Taylor Place Mall on Arizona State University’s
Downtown Campus and participants were students who attend classes
on the ASU Downtown Campus. Findings displayed the need for design
considerations to focus on the safety of students, creating places
to gather for social connection, and overall a desire for design to
focus on place making and place meaning, as well as other themes.
Understanding more clearly how the built and social environment
guides behaviors and social opportunities can help urban designers,
landscape architects, and community developers better plan
healthier environments that foster productive behaviors, create
meaningful spaces, and prove to be sustainable in future
years.

▼ Background: Ecological models posit that interactions among factors at multiple levels (e.g., individual, psychosocial, and environmental) influence physical activity (PA). However, interactions involving environmental factors are the least understood. Intervention studies also suggest PA behavior change may depend on the environments in which participants are encouraged to be active but such evidence from interventions targeting Latinos is limited.Methods: Chapter 2 tested interactions between neighborhood environmental and socio-demographic factors on total moderate-to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among an international adult sample (N=10,258). Chapter 3 examined interactions between neighborhood environmental and psychosocial factors on context-specific PA among an adolescent sample from the Baltimore/Seattle regions (N=910). Chapter 4 assessed the moderating effects of neighborhood environmental factors on the impacts of a physical activity intervention targeting Latinas in San Diego, CA at 12-months post-intervention (N=319). Results: Chapter 2 found moderating effects by education and gender on the association between safety from crime and meeting high PA levels, with inverse associations found only among the high-education group and men. Education and gender moderated associations of safety from crime and the presence of transit stops with meeting minimum PA guidelines, with positive associations found for safety from crime only among women and the presence of transit stops only among men and the high-education group. Chapter 3 found moderating effects by decisional balance on the association between recreation facility density and neighborhood leisure-time PA among female adolescents, with a negative association found only among those with high decisional balance. Decisional balance also moderated the associations of neighborhood walkability with non-school MVPA among females and non-neighborhood leisure-time PA among males, with positive associations only among adolescents with high decisional balance. Chapter 4 showed higher total MVPA and leisure-time MVPA at 12-months post-intervention among participants with favorable perceived neighborhood aesthetics than those with less favorable evaluations.Conclusions: This dissertation supports the ecological models’ hypothesized interactions between environmental and individual/psychosocial factors on PA and the moderating role of the neighborhood environment on the impacts of a multilevel PA intervention targeting Latinas. Findings support global efforts targeting multiple levels of influence to promote population PA, health, and environmental sustainability.

▼ This study explored Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)-friendly environmental design standards as an emerging urban design theory. The research sought to articulate ASD-friendly design guidelines derived from the literature, as well as investigate the relevance of ASD-friendly design to real-world environments.A systematic review was utilized to determine cohesive ASD-friendly design standards from the body of literature, defined as design features agreed-upon by at least 50 percent of the empirical studies included in the systematic review. An observational study was designed in order to test whether ASD-friendly design guidelines are applicable to non-ASD individuals, and how they play a part in determining utilization of plaza locations. Three unique plaza locations at the University of California, Irvine Main Campus were photographed over three days, yielding 94 total photographs; 58 of these photographs were included in the analysis. The systematic review identified eight design features from the literature: low stimulation, predictability/consistency, retreat space, wide circulation spaces/proxemics, natural light and/or avoiding flickering/buzzing lights, low noise levels, minimization of "fascinators," and use of low-arousal colors. The observational study found that an increase in number of users increases opportunity for social interaction, the presence of more than one personal greatly increases social interaction, retreat space and sufficient shade from sunlight were the most important design features among the ASD-friendly design features tested, and ASD-friendly design criteria need to be weighted based on empirical findings.

CITY PLANNING, DESIGN, AND PROGRAMMING FOR INDIGENOUS URBANISM AND ETHNOCULTURAL DIVERSITY IN WINNIPEG.

▼ The production and programming of
urban space and place have long been applied to eliminate Indigenous peoples from
urban areas and minimise their cultural influence. This thesis investigates Indigenous inclusion in
planning processes and placemaking practices in Winnipeg. In this regard, the
thesis sought to address critical gaps in the academic literature on Indigenous urbanism and
urban planning. Through the analysis of the perspectives gathered from participants, each principal chapter explores a primary objective of the thesis. First, the thesis illustrates that Indigenous inhabitants of Winnipeg feel high levels of social and spatial injustice and invisibility. While Indigenous communities are seeking to participate in
urban life, the mechanisms that the municipal administration applies to engage with them are not transformative and reconciliatory. Second, the thesis examines how the design and programming of the
built environment of settler cities have played a significant role in the dispossession of Indigenous
urban inhabitants and how
urban design could function as an empowerment practice. Third, the thesis problematises multiculturalism policies and the ways
urban planning approaches ethnocultural diversity and difference. Findings of the study reveal that the fulfilment of the Indigenous right to urbanism would consist of the transformation of existing decision-making and
planning processes and procedures on the basis of the recognition of original occupancy and the right to self-determination. Situating Indigenous
planning methods as well as resurgent acts of
planning and placemaking into pre-existing structures will help Indigenous communities to reterritorialise
urban space and advance Indigenous urbanism. Additionally, placemaking has the transformative capacity of reversing the negative symbolic capital associated with Indigenous peoples. To transcend beyond tokenism, Indigenous cultural representation in the
built form should not be bound to Eurocentric frameworks and subordinated by the settler mainstream narratives. Furthermore, findings illustrate that Indigenous and ethnocultural diversity groups have started their coexistence in Winnipeg. Foregrounding the broad discourse of diversity and difference helps to demonstrate how
urban planning and design is lagging behind the emergent hyper-diversity in Canadian cities. Through increasing the level of literacy and competency in coping with ethnocultural diversity, Indigeneity, and difference, planners and municipal officials could play a better role in enhancing interculturalism.

▼ The aim of this study was to examine recreational activity patterns and their relationship to the built environment, spatial accessibility and socio-demographic status across three different rural communities in Iowa. Data on recreational activities were derived from the results of a transportation survey (telephone, online, and mail) that is conducted on an annual basis by Iowa State University Associate Professor Julia M. Badenhope as part of the Iowa Living Roadways `Community Visioning Program General Survey'. The data for the three communities pertaining to this study came from the 2008 and 2010 survey results. The study sample contained 178, 105 and 160 randomly selected survey respondents for the three communities of Osceola, Independence and West Liberty, Iowa.
The methodology presented could be easily adopted and implemented in future projects examining the relationship between the built environment and recreational activities. Respondents along with their corresponding demographic information and activity levels, in addition to existing park locations were mapped using the Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The Network Analyst extension tool was used to measure different socio-demographic, spatial and physical factors that could potentially influence physical activities such as walking, biking, and running and these measurements were analyzed using SPSS and JMP in order to obtain the statistical significance. In addition, Anselin's Local Moran's I was utilized to measure spatial autocorrelation in order to establish the presence of clusters within the communities based on the respondents' recreational activity levels.
Statistical analyses indicated no significant relationship among the different demographic variables and the levels of recreational activities among the survey respondents of the communities of Osceola and Independence. Association was however, found between gender and walking (2-sided p-value=0.0008) for the community of West Liberty, Iowa. Spatial analyses in conjunction with statistical results indicated significant difference for the respondents of Osceola in terms of the shortest distance to a recreational facility and the two activities of running (2-sided p-value=0.0034) and biking (2-sided p-value=0.0247). For the City of West Liberty, significant relationship was found for the shortest distance to a recreational facility and overall exercise (2-sided p-value=0.0079). In general, these results indicate for the respondents of Osceola living in close proximity to recreational facilities are more likely to run and bike, while proximity can also influence overall physical activities including `other' activities for the City of West Liberty. Additionally, there was no evidence of significant clustering for the attribute of recreational activity levels of analyses. Overall, the study indicated that the relationship between the rural environment and demographic variables and recreational activity levels is not direct and more research is required to effectively measure the discrepancy in…

▼ King County, Washington is challenged by a variety of potential shocks, such as earthquakes, and stresses, such as rising income inequality and climate change. It is therefore essential to strengthen community resilience. Community resilience refers to the ability of communities to work together to proactively limit risk and stress, and adapt to changing circumstances. In order to develop and implement effective resilience programs, there should be agreement on how to simplify this concept into components, or dimensions, and measure these dimensions with indicators. However, there is no strict consensus in the literature about which dimensions are most important and which indicators are most effective at measuring resilience. Through this research, I aim to identify the most valued community resilience dimensions and indicators for King County, and understand how resilience perceptions change based on race, gender, and professional sector. I collected data with a survey that asks respondents who live and/or work in King County to rank resilience dimensions on a Likert scale of importance, select important indicators for measuring resilience, and provide demographic information. I found that all community resilience dimensions were either highly or most valued. This supports that a multi-pronged approach to building resilience is most effective, rather than one that focuses on a single dimension. I found that the most valued indicators were those that are fundamentally important, such as drinking water reliability. The majority of indicators derived from the Seattle Resilience Strategy were highly valued instead of most valued. The least valued indicators concerned demographics, such as high English-language competency. Although resilience literature generally argues that demographic indicators are important for assessing resilience, there is no ethical or practical program that would seek to limit diversity. My findings support that perceptions change depending on professional sector, race, and gender, but further research is needed to assess perceptions, as my response was not diverse or controlled for each demographic. This knowledge is important for implementing equity-based resilience strategies that seek to strengthen resilience for underserved populations.

▼ This interpretative case study examines the ways in which socio-spatial exclusion is main-tained though urban planning designs in the informal settlement of Kibera in Kenya. It ap-plies the theoretical and analytical framework of T. Mitchell and A. Church, M. Frost, K. Sullivan to investigate how the urban design of the Kenyan Slum Upgrading Programme (KENSUP) contributes to the maintenance of socio-spatial hierarchies that allow for the ex-clusion of Kibera’s urban residents. This investigation is a reaction to the lacking considera-tion of implanted structural violence in place and urban development.
The study found that persisting socio-spatial exclusion of residents in Kibera is in-deed sustained through KENSUP. The built environment functions as power medium that excludes some people based on their socio-spatial status in the city. The applied framework confirmed that the urban planning programme KENSUP maintains existing forms of eco-nomic, physical, and geographic exclusion, besides the exclusion from facilities through the built environment.
The findings suggest that urban planning designs require a shift from the focus on the built environment towards the focus on human rights and inclusive participation in order to reduce the structural influence of socio-spatial city hierarchies.

▼ A critical factor in transit mode share analysis is the level of accessibility to transit services. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationships between accessibility and the built environment, and the use of transit. To do so, the proportion of transit users is modeled as a function of socio-economic characteristics, transit level of service, and built environment characteristics. While accessibility to transit has been the object of previous research, accessibility by transit is a factor that has received only limited attention in prior transit modal share research. The case study is the city of Hamilton, and the geographic unit of analysis is the Dissemination Area. A logistic model for proportions with a spatial filter (for spatial autocorrelation) and an over-dispersion parameter is found to provide the best fit and statistical properties. The results of analysis at the meso-scale show that accessibility by transit contributes positively to usage of transit. The possibility that factors at the micro-scale may also influence use of transit, suggests the development of a methodology, based on the use of spatial filtering, to systematically select walkability audit sites. The proposed methodology is demonstrated by means of a case study of neighborhoods in Hamilton. Statistical analysis of walkability audit information shows that the proposed selection strategy can be used to better target limited resources for field-based work, and produce valuable insights into the micro-level factors that may affect transit use.
