School Siting & Design Study

2014-12 , Anderson, Lindsay , Bustin, Allison , Cook, Kirstin , Davis, Khaliff , Mitchell, Brian , Monnier, Steve , Perumbeti, Katie , Rindge, Brianna

In partnership with the Georgia Conservancy, the Georgia Tech School of City and Regional Planning conducted the School Siting Studio. The Studio investigated current public school siting practices in Georgia and the impacts of these practices on the surrounding community and environment. School locations influence the overall well-being of a community and affect not only students, parents, and school staff but also virtually anyone who lives, works, plays, or commutes within the area. This Studio evaluated current Georgia practices in light of potential alternatives and best practices. Based on this evaluation, the Studio recommends changes to promote sustainable school siting practices at both the state and local.

The Urban Village and the Urban Neighborhood: Impact on Perception of Neighborhoods in the Buckhead Area

1991-06 , Merklein, Gordon H.

Our perceptions of the built environment have an important influence on the way we experience our cities. In the late 1950s, Kevin Lynch began studying human cognition and cognitive mapping in order to understand how people see their cities. From these studies, Lynch found that people cognitively organize cities with a series of common themes, which he defined as paths, edges, nodes, districts, and landmarks. The evolution of these design elements and the study on human cognition and city design has helped planners, architects, urban designers, and others interested in the built environment to understand how people organize their image of the city. This paper has two goals: 1) how residents of the neighborhoods which comprise the larger Buckhead community perceive the image of both their residential area, which is stable, and the adjacent commercial activity, which is undergoing change; and 2) to identify what residents define as the image of their community in terms of both geographical boundaries and physical elements, especially when both are constantly changing.
