COH DELAYERED: complexity

http://cohdelayered.blogspot.com/2008/04/complexity.html

Subdivision Code Update Project: First Phase Findings and Discussion. We are used to examining our city with complex maps. In fact, with the ability to generate more and more information, we often fall into the trap of increasing the complexity of what is being represented; sacrificing clarity, for comprehensiveness. The process of “ delayering. 8221; allows us to develop maps that aid in clarity by highlighting specific characteristics. Robert Voigt, Senior Planner. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Subdivision Code Update Project: First Phase Findings and Discussion.

Streets that connect border streets with four or less changes in direction are shown in orange. The street networks in more recent subdivisions are more disjointed and provide less practical options than those of historic areas. Robert Voigt, Senior Planner. Update on fin...
