Three-mile Transect: Ten-minute Mobility

Abstract

Urban centers are sustainable within a 3 mile radius, allowing 10-minute mobility by multiple modes of transportation. The transect consists of a mixed-use core, banded with mid-scale development and an outer ring of low density housing. This suggests an urban form of satellite density rings situated approximately six miles apart in lieu of the traditional urban to rural transect, which is the focus of this study.
