Pattern of Urban Development along the Expressway

Literature research 1. Historical background From the 1950's to the 1960's, concepts of planned or unplanned corridor development were actively studied and discussed among space planners, designers, and scientists (eg CFGs) It was. Wiebel, George R. Collins, C. Doxyadis). Many of these practitioners and scholars also encounter difficulties in visualizing the dynamics of corridors and often refer to (early) linear city planning and design. Research on the definition and visualization of the corridors at this time may be helpful in discussing corridor development and city networks.

The Cross Bronx Expressway was completed in 1963 and is part of Robert Moses New York City Urban Update Project. Highway is now known as one of the factors contributing to the decline of the extreme cities seen in the 1970s and 1980s. The highway passes through the center of South Bronx, thousands of residents are leaving their homes and several local companies. In particular, the highway near East Trimont has been completely destroyed. Some people think that building a highway does not harm the community.

By the 1970 's, many major cities opposed big city updates projects in those cities. In Boston, regional activists stopped construction of the proposed Southwest highway, but after three miles of land was cut down. In San Francisco, Joseph Alioto was the first mayor to deny the urban renewal policy publicly, and with the support of the community group, the province stopped constructing the highway passing through the city center. Due to the renewal of the city and the construction of the highway, Atlanta lost more than 60,000 people between 1960 and 1970, but the city's building boom became a model of New South in the 1970s and 1980s It was. In the early 1970s, Toronto Jacobs ceased construction of the Spadina highway and actively participated in a group that changed the city's transportation policy.

Forget Uber and its unattended driving car - The highway described in Isaac Asimov's "Robots and Earth" novel truly revolutionizes urban traffic and changes the way we interact with urban communities. As Asimov mentioned, the highway is basically a glass curtain wall, a moving belt of a handrail running at 60 miles / hour (such as a moving airport sidewalk). You can always walk on the highway, skip a series of parallel strips, accelerate or slow your walking speed quickly, and connect you to other lines (like a highway system - But your feet). The strip that changes your speed is my imagination - it's fun to "jump" to the highway and quickly head to every block of Seattle while catching up with the city attractions
