| dc.description.abstract | This thesis analyzes the neighborhood chapter of the comprehensive plans for New York City and Seattle, Washington to identify frameworks for addressing mixed use development, open space and walkability. It identifies strong neighborhood identity to be the main theme of the Comprehensive Plan for New York City, and sustainability to be the main theme of the Comprehensive Plan for Seattle. These conclusions are applied to neighborhood planning more broadly in order to show the range of interpretations of neighborhood planning. This thesis acknowledges that there is no correct method to facilitate neighborhood planning. Instead, it proposes the importance of writing a plan that matches the identity of a neighborhood, and describes a methodology which can be applied in order to discover main identities of a neighborhood and write plans that support neighborhood character. | en_US |
