City and Regional Planning
The goal of this project is to closely examine the conversion of traditional roads into pedestrian streets. By studying two examples, we will create an understanding of why cities do this, how they implement pedestrian streets, what results pedestrian streets bring, and what makes a successful conversion project.

This design based phase will consider the entire scope of the project, detailing project location selection, implementation, and recommendations.
