downtown streetscape/public realm improvement plan

Submitted by moshbean on Mon, 07/09/2007 - 05:41.

I am working as an intern at the City of Raleigh Planning Department, and I am attempting to revise our downtown streetscape guidelines for the purpose of making downtown more attractive and more pedestrian friendly. I am currently pursuing a masters degree in landscape architecture, so I'm basically learning about urban planning as I go along.
I was hoping that someone would be able to tell me about some cities that have great public realm guidelines, or where to find information on the subject in general.
Thanks a lot.

All of that only scratches the surface of what's wrong with this study. The idea that complex urban development patterns and human behavior can be meaningfully studied according to one primary criteria — density — is wrong from the start.
