Fundamental Urban Features Utilized by Small-Town America

Abstract

This project focuses on an entire city or town and how it must be designed to revitalize its center. Due to the fact that I will be looking at the entire cities, there is no specific site to be aware of. Two towns are the focus of my project, one which will act as a basis of urban fundamentals, and one that will be redesigned implementing these principles. These cities are Chicago, IL and Dickinson, ND. I will look at the overall layout of these towns, good and bad aspects of the cities, things they have attempted in the past, and ways that they could be improved.
