Abstract:
The City of Medford seeks to identify activity centers to achieve an array of
policy goals, including those that foster nodal development, increase residential
density, and encourage alternate forms of transportation. Through the University
of Oregon’s Sustainable City Year Program, a class of graduate students
from the Community and Regional Planning program identified and analyzed
potential activity centers. This report synthesizes information and analyses
compiled by four student teams. It contains a description of the class’ methods,
analysis of each activity center, limitations, next steps, and supplemental
materials.
