Downtown Atlanta 2041: Autonomous Vehicles and A-Street Grids

2016-08 , Dunham-Jones, Ellen , Blakeley, Meredith , Bonn, Sarah Jane , Goldstein, Eric , Huang, Shijia , McMullen, Meghan , Pang, Lu , Payson, Mikhail , Reeves, Blake , Scott, Stacy , Shrestha, Animesh

Downtown Atlanta 2041 is a speculative look 25 years into the future at the opportunities available to build on parking lots and create a walkable network of Class A streets and distinctive neighborhoods around Downtown’s many assets. The design proposals are based on conversations with stakeholders, analysis of current conditions as well as bold assumptions about the future impact of autonomous vehicles. The work was produced by graduate students at Georgia Tech in the Master of Science in Urban Design, (MSUD) spring 2016 studio, under the direction of Professor Ellen Dunham-Jones in the School of Architecture in the College of Design.

An urban design studio conducted jointly with the Georgia Conservancy for the Victory Square Neighborhoods in Savannah, Georgia. The neighborhoods were under mandatory evacuation orders when Hurricane Irene in 1999 approached. Luckily, the hurricane passed by without damage, but the neighborhoods realized for the first time that they were vulnerable. The studio address both storm surge and sea level rise and their impacts. The critical issue was the Truman Parkway, a grade separated highway, that had disrupted the historic natural drainage and the historic Casey Canal. Urban Design proposals were for various alternative to retrofit or remove the Truman Parkway to deal with future flood events.
