Yu Wen Jasmine Chou Yu Wen was born and raised in Taiwan. She found her passion in creating sustainable environments through citizen participation at a workshop held for Thailand’s coastal village. In 2013, she came to the States and started her master degree in Community and Regional Planning at UT Austin. At school, she focused on sustainability and participatory approaches for reaching out to seniors. Yu Wen graduated in August and is now living in Houston. In her spare time, she enjoys visiting different communities by walking, cycling or taking public transits. She hopes to contribute her skills to creating sustainable and resilient cities.
“envision tomorrow” scenario planning
Inspiring Change for Hutto May 2014 utto’s present Growth Guidance Plan expires in 2015. Within the next two years, the town will need to redefine its physical and land use strategy. Using the values and information from the City of Hutto, suitability mappings were done for suitable locations of future land development within the Activity Center, first on conventional land use types and then development types created through the focus groups. Later, three scenarios were demonstrated based on professional planning principles, data and community values. Those scenarios were created to absorb the anticipated growth in jobs and population for the planning horizon of 2035. Among three scenarios, one is most responsive to community values, another one reflects important emphasis from a social learning and sustainability standpoint. Those scenarios will be used in a planning workshop as a starting point for discussion and further scenario planning.

INSPIRING CHANGE FOR HUTTO
Community & Opportunity • • •
Churches, Schools, and the YMCA give the city a sense of community. Vacancy opens opportunities for infill, protecting agriculture from sprawl. Diversity and density of housing stock can attract new residents.
Barriers to Mobility • • •
Major highways form barriers that divide the city. 98% of employed residents commute outside Hutto for work. Homes are isolated from schools and Old Town. Vacant Land
Environmental Constraints • • •
Concentrate growth outside hazardous and sensitive zones. Smart Growth can protect Brushy Creek from agricultural runoff. Fertile soils allow for flexibility when preserving agricultural land.

suitability analysis & network analysis
Site for Multi-Family Housings November 2014 or public reviews on potential HUD funded projects, the planner was requested to carry out an analysis of suitable parcels using criteria provided by HACA.
F
The first map shows the ranking of the potential parcels based on the three criteria . Higher ranking score represents more suitable parcel. A particular parcel ranked as 5 was selected for viewshed analysis to further obtain comprehensive understanding of the site. The result shows that most of the parcels rated higher than 4 are located near the city boundary, for example, the Northwest end, Northeast end and the Southwest end of the city of Austin. The parcel that the planner selected, which has the biggest parcel area that rated as 5, is considered to be the one that has the most potential to be developed. According to the bird view provided by the viewshed analysis, it is shown that the future housing units located on the selected parcel would have two possible views of Lake Travis, which would be a nice feature to have for the future residents. However, it is noted that the selected parcel is further away from the highways, same do the other ranked-5 parcels in the city of Austin. Traveling to other parts of the city would probably be difficult for the future residents.

Network Analysis
In the second section, a network analysis was done for the same selected parcel that ranked as 5. By conductin facilities test, the selected parcel’s spatial relationships with schools and bus stops can be found.

ng service area test and closest
Based on the results analyzed from the services area test, it shows that driving to the closest bus stop from the selected parcel is about 4 minutes. In addition, from the color shown for the driving time to school, there is no school within 7 minutes driving distance from the selected parcel. If driving time to school would be a priority for the future residents, the parcel located at the Northeast end of the City of Austin that ranked more than 4 would be a better fit for the multi-family housing site.
sociodemographic analysis
Equity Assessment for TOD Corridors June 2014 he core concept of Equitable Transit-Oriented Development is that TOD should be oriented towards people most likely to use transit, aka “core riders,� as well as development. Researchers at the Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy at Northeastern University have developed an Equitable Transit-Oriented Development (E-TOD) rating system that can be used to identify neighborhoods and districts with demographic and transit attributes that reduce driving, encourage higher transit ridership, and promote transit equity and accessibility.
T 14
Findings from the E-TOD score can have implications for the preservation of affordable housing along transit corridors or in transit-rich neighborhoods. The E-TOD score can also be used to examine which transit-rich neighborhoods and specific projects will encourage equitable TOD, or to determine or enhance the relative transit supportiveness of a station area. The E-TOD score is determined by comparing a composite score of ten key variables, capturing measures of transit, orientation, and development, across transit stations in a municipality.
EQUITY ASSESSMENT FOR TOD CORRIDORS
E-TOD Score In order to contribute to identifying affordable units for preservation in our study areas, an E-TOD-inspired analysis of the Burnet and Riverside corridors was conducted. Each variable was first mapped across Austin block groups by quintile. A raster map of all variables was then created which aggregated the score for each variable, with the lowest possible score for each block group being 8 and the highest possible score being 40. Darker areas on the map indicate a higher E-TOD score, meaning they are more transit supportive, contain more core riders, and are developed in a more transit-friendly manner.

EQUITY ASSESSMENT FOR TOD CORRIDORS
The map depicts the proximity of affordable housing units in the corridor within a ¼-mile and ½-mile of Metro Rapid stations. Several clusters of class C units can be seen within a ¼-mile walk of the Metro Rapid stations at the intersections of North Loop and Burnet Road. Another cluster of affordable units can be seen East of the Metro Rapid station at Justin Lane and Burnet Road. Also, this map shows that several clusters of affordable housing, particularly along Anderson road, are outside of the Metro Rapid service areas, indicating potential areas for improved transit access or built environment interventions.
The Riverside corridor has a much higher E-TOD score than the Burnet corridor, primarily due to the higher percentage of core riders in the neighborhood. In contrast with the Burnet corridor, Riverside is serviced primarily by standard bus stops. The bus stops with highest ridership numbers as of 2011 are shown, since Capital Metro tends to increase bus service at stations with higher ridership. The map shows that 12 out of 31 of the affordable housing in the Riverside corridor units lie within a ¼-mile walk from the most popular bus stations. Though the high E-TOD score indicates that any of the units in the corridor would be a good possibility for preservation, the units nearest the highest use stations may be good to consider.

transit oriented development
Crossview Transit Hub June 2014 he current state of the Crestview TOD project is assessed within the larger context of neighborhood-wide critical weaknesses, in the hope of guiding future development efforts in Crestview towards the goal of creating a more vibrant, livable, and transit friendly urban community in touch with the traditional character of the neighborhood. This project provides recommendations for how public and private entities can continue to move forward with the Crestview TOD project in such a way that better leverages and integrates the strengths of the surrounding community so that it becomes a true model for transit-friendly community development, reclaiming the urban core and combating sprawl via increased connectivity.

Land use types of future development. The development of the land south of the MetroRail station was designed as a mechanism for addressing a variety of concerns principally related to a lack of integration between the Crestview TOD project and the rest of the more traditional Crestview neighborhood. Also, this proposal simultaneously addresses issues of lack of public green space in the community. By increasing the usability of the Crestview MetroRail Station, a key function of the rationale behind the original TOD plan for the area, which is to boost the Capital Metro Ridership, could also be achieved. • • • •

Intersection Proposal The intersection of Justin Lane and Lamar Boulevard is a clear example of how this neighborhood has been affected by a development focused on the automobile. These streets create a hostile environment for pedestrians and there are no amenities that encourage people to walk. Since Lamar Boulevard is an arterial it bears high speed traffic, which is a potential danger to pedestrians and bikers alike. Thus, the proposed TOD could serve to attract more pedestrians but also to pacify the traffic. The increase in pedestrian flow created by the amenities TOD will provide will also pacify traffic since crowded streets make drivers more aware of their surroundings. This In turn will make a safer environment for bicycles.

Animated Landscape August 2008 his proposal aims to transforming a community, which is suffering from rising sea level, into a community that can sustain even with a rapid-changing living environment. Economical, ecological and social aspects of the community are three driven points for this proposal.
T 40
Economical: A sustainable and eco-friendly tour provided for visitors is proposed to boost the economy for the local community. By following the dynamic of the water, tourists who seek peace could find a place that is surrounded by nature to meditate themselves. Ecological : By replanting the mangrove forest back to the coast to serve as a filter, it is possible for the village to reclaim the landscape back and restore the original ecosystem. Social : The religion is the most remarkable and memorable identity of the community. By providing the meditation seats and underwater temple surrounded by diverse landscape and flowing water, not only local residents can find their beliefs in their daily lives, but also tourists can experience a spiritual re-freshness.

Metamorphosis Based on the tide prediction provided by the community, the seasonal change of the sea levels were observed. The concept of metamorphosis is used in creating the structures that can support local residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; daily activities and for tourists to visit this unique coastal village even under the situation of the changing sea level. The structures are able to cope with different sea levels and transform into various kind of platforms. By welcoming the tide, residents and tourists would be able to live with the water and enjoy the animated landscapes that change with the time.
