Recreation /A Place to Play Parks, Trails, Waterfront and Open Space Comstock Township’s crowning jewels are its community recreation facilities and natural features. Community recreation facilities support healthy communities, increase property nearby values, provide important community gathering opportunities and protect natural areas from over-development. The Master Plan will include strategies about land use and development patterns that will impact where and how residents and visitors access community recreation facilities and will inform future decisions about protecting natural areas for community benefit.

Work /A Place to Thrive Urbanization, Education, Industry, Employment Comstock Township’s local businesses have national recognition. Opportunities to leverage its unique location with access to rail, road, and river, make the community desirable for employers. Through sound land use policy and community development initiatives in the Master Plan, the Township can better attract and retain employers and employees. An educated and employed citizenry supports local businesses and community services, as well as enhances a sense of community improving overall quality of life.

BEST PRACTICE: Curbing “brain-drain”; consider collaborative retention models.
Mobility /A Place to Connect Walking, Transit, Biking, Driving Choice is important. In a community with an aging population, and a desire to attract and retain families to provide a workforce desirable to future employers, having choices about how to safely and conveniently move about the community is essential. Walking, biking, transit, and car travel are all viable modes. Second to housing, transportation is the most costly living expense for a family and owning a car averages $9,000 to $10,000 annually. Other safe and convenient modes like walking, biking, or transit could save money and create a more healthy and resilient community. How we connect neighborhoods and where we plan for new growth can impact the viability of these alternative modes of travel. Means of Transportation To Work Road Condition Ratings ll R Gu

The Comstock Township community is ever evolving. People come and go, whether to live, work or play. Shifts in demographics help inform the policy directives in the Master Plan. With an aging population and a decrease in housing size (more people living alone) land use planning must account for and predict future needs. Housing types, and where housing is located, are important. Community amenities like shops and services becomes more important for an aging population.

Based on t he good public tra nsit system including streetcars and buses, we encourage pedest ria n f riend ly development by providing safe sidewalks and bike lanes, building the passways through the hospital, the greeway and the parks.
Wit h t he hospita l complex a nd evolv i ng housing developments acting as a nearby catalyst, the future development will create spaces where members of the communit y can work, live, eat, and play together, adding economic vigor and community vibrancy to a promising neighborhood.
Tourism has emerged as a major industry that capitalizes on the distinct culture of New Orleans. The close proximity to both the French Quarter and Louis Armstrong Park brings opportunities to take advantage of New Orleans culture and entertainment and connect the North Claiborne community to these tourist attractions.

Greenway for Tianjin
Industrial Heritage Preservation and Reuse Advisor: Dan Li, Xiaoyu Zhang Personal/Academic Work Professional, 2013 Winter Basic materia from Tianjin Urban Planning & Design Institute
China has been through rapid urbanization in these recent decade. The modern development is carving into the the industrial districts surrounding the city. This happens more in the large industrial cities particularly, like Tianjin, which was used to be one of the major industrial center across the country during the 1910s - 1950s. The industries are retreating to the newly established Binhai New Area considering the deterioration of liv ing env ironment a nd high cost of economica l invest ment, leav ing a huge a mou nt of va luable i ndust r ia l her itage behind. Chentang railway, which connected Tianjin We s t R a i l w ay S t a t i o n w i t h C h e nt a n g Industrial Park, once searve as the main rail artery in the central city. It will be out of use in 2015 according to the new zoning code. Since it links several big factories with high industrial value, the idea of Greenway for Tianjin came out in the recent years. The Green Way proposal expands the idea of industrial renewal. The final goal is to create a green belt inside the city, maximizing the beneficial public impacts of industrial and ecological heritage.
15
Green belt The green belt contribute certain urban ecology value by providing a continuous linear green space.
Industrial memory The old factories witnessed the history and development of the city and should be preserved.
Public infrastructure The community facilities and transformed factories provides recreational use for citizens.
Tianjin Railway History
CHENTANG RAILWAY starts with TJ Western Railway Station and ends up in Chentang Industrial Park, covering almost a quarter of the central city. There are many parks and cultural infrastructure surround it, which could be linked together and form a system by the Greenway. Many of the land beside the railway has developed into residence, but still a huge mount of land remain Industrial blocks and unused.

Test field of TOD Advisor: Jinli Li, Dachang Yuan Collaborator: Yang Zhao, Lei Jing, Jingyi Zhang Role: Site Analysis, Conceptual Analysis, Land Use, Part of Urban Design Academic, 2012 Fall
The maijor cities are undergoing rapid population growth due to the rapid urbanization. The new technologies of transportation like expressway, viaducts, and intercity train are favorable and adopted as solutions to fast means of commuting within and between cities. The quality of people's life, however, is severely compromised when the expressway and viaducts cut the city apart, and the rich and poor are segregated. Urban villages are formed with little public facilities and transportation access in some areas. we then proposed the TOD for the site, which already proved successful in many cities overseas. This might be the testfield for improvement in terms of land use and public transit in a greater range.Although the backgrounds of TOD are slightly different, it is still a promising method to promote the the social equity and public heal in general.

用地现状图
Site Analysis Status Quo
The site is cut apart into 4 parts by the 2 expressway and the railway, and they are isolated from each other. The northeast part is Shuimutiancheng residential area with comfortable houses and good environment. The northwest part is mainly occupied with factories. The other two parts on the south are full of urban villages and vacant land. The South Canal passes through these parts, making them of potential good living environment.

Hangu New Town
The planning site locates in the center of Hangu New Town, so the waterfront is much more valuable and important than other area. The environment on both sides of the river is good. But the only problem is that the required flood-prevention level is much higher than the ordinary water level and the ground level.

Long Term of the East
The east of the river is the old town right now and was planned to rebuild in the future. So the riverfront can connect to the near blocks overhead, organizing a tree-dimensional traffic and eventually magnifying the vitality of riverfront.
