URBAN PLANNING PORTFOLIO THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI
HELLO,
JESSE M. URBANCSIK My name is Jesse Urbancsik and I am a fourth year at the University of Cincinnati currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Urban Planning program in the School of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning (DAAP). I hope to succeed in a highly rewarding experience with a challenging and stimulating environment. In the near future I plan to attend graduate school for either Landscape Architecture or Environmental Planning. I have always been interested in cities and how they work in general. I have always loved living in and near cities and plan to for the rest of my life. I love the diversity, excitement and the atmosphere certain cities emit. That’s what lured me into urban planning in the first place. One of my biggest hobbies is traveling and exploring new places. I love meeting new people, witnessing new experiences and enjoying great trips with friends and family.

MASTER PLANNING
WELCOME, Creating Zelkova completed the last step in the final
assignment that myself and two other team members created for our Fall 2014 Studio. We had to design a community on steep topography with a certain ammount of housing: single family and multi-family dwellings, commercial, retail and parks and recreation facilities. The existing land had nothing on it but trees, so we decided to go with a ‘naturalistic’ vibe in our master plan. We additionally completed a laser cut model of our topography along with painted roads and trees. We decided to name our community Zelkova, named after a zelkova serrata tree. Those were one of the types of trees found in our site.

MODELING During a previous Co-Op, I worked on a number of different projects, expanding my expierence with numerous softwares. I worked on a few models in Google SketchUp for the City of Olmsted Falls and Cleveland Heights. These models were used to show future additional buildings and plans for both towns.

WASSON WAY This 2016 Spring Studio our studio focused on the Was-
son Way Corridor which is a proposed rail/trail route in the Greater Cincinnati Region. Our studio was divided into ten groups and focused on our designated sections of the corridor. My partner and I chose the very last section, Section 10. The photographs to the left show the existing railroad conditions today. The railroad length is around 8 miles long and runs all the way into Anderson Township. The map below shows the corridor along with our highlighted section to the far right. GIS Maps for Land Use and Land Ownership are on the right.

“Cities were always like people, showing their varying personalities to the traveler. Depending on the city and on the traveler, there might begin a mutual love, or dislike, friendship, or enmity. Where one city will rise a certain individual to glory, it will destroy another who is not suited to its personality. Only through travel can we know where we belong or not, where we are loved and where we are rejected.� ― Roman Payne, Cities & Countries
