@rnzbot_nz It’s good to see an admission here of why Auckland City is such a sprawling car-dependent mess now.

> A striking theme in the article was how successive governments opted to invest in Auckland's motorway infrastructure rather than commuter rail. "That went back to the 1950s and 1960s, there was a considerable push for motorway development [which was] a world-wide trend for most major cities.

> "Auckland looked to Los Angeles for a lead -- Los Angeles was investing very heavily in motorways -- and the Auckland commuter system was deliberately run down from the 1950s through to the 1990s."

The Parra metro station construction site has been a bit of a dead zone for a while. Finally filling it will make a massive difference to its CBD.

While there's a case for more offices, if you're going to go with apartments, you may as well go big:

"Four towers of up to 43 storeys will be built above or next to the new Parramatta railway station following the planned opening of the 24-kilometre Metro West line between Sydney CBD and Westmead in 2032.

"The over-station development just north of Parramatta Square will feature 470 apartments – up from 111 outlined in concept plans – and 500 units for student accommodation. It will feature pedestrian laneways and a landscaped park that will form part of a civic link connecting the station to the new Powerhouse Museum and Parramatta River foreshore.

"A 43-storey tower comprising the 470 build-to-rent apartments will be five storeys higher than originally outlined in the concept plans. Subject to planning approval, a 29-storey office building, a 24-level tower for student accommodation and an eight-storey hotel will also be built on the site."

What Happens When the Marginal Driver Is a Robot?

Today, congestion is partly constrained by human tolerance. At some point, a trip becomes slow enough that the marginal driver decides it is not worth making. But what happens when the marginal driver is no longer a person? What if it is an empty robotaxi repositioning itself, or a self-driving car carrying a Chipotle burrito across town?

Those trips may be willing to tolerate much more delay than a human commuter. Instead of autonomous vehicles making long commutes easier and encouraging more sprawl, they could actually push congestion to a much worse equilibrium. A commute that takes 30 minutes today might take an hour or two simply because so many low-value automated trips are willing to sit in traffic.

That could eventually force a change.

My preferred solution would be simple congestion pricing: charge every vehicle the same market-clearing price to use scarce road space, with no special exemptions. Raise the price until traffic flows freely.

If that makes a private car trip cost $70, so be it. A bus carrying 30 people can spread the same road charge across 30 passengers. A car with four people can split it four ways. The system naturally rewards higher occupancy without needing complicated rules about which vehicles deserve priority.

Then use the congestion-pricing revenue to improve transit.

That could become especially powerful in sprawling cities that already have underused rail infrastructure. Take SunRail in Orlando. If I-4 became painfully congested, it might suddenly make sense to take a robotaxi to the nearest station, ride the train for the long-distance portion, and take another robotaxi at the other end.

At that point, the giant parking lots around suburban rail stations become less necessary and can be replaced with compact pickup and drop-off zones. The parking lots can then be redeveloped into housing, shops, and offices. More development around the stations creates more riders, which supports better frequency, which makes the surrounding development even more attractive.

There would probably be an ugly transition period. But I can imagine autonomous vehicles pushing the current system hard enough that we finally start treating road space as the scarce resource it actually is.

And if that ultimately produces faster roads, better transit, more pooling, and denser development around rail, the end state could be substantially better than what we have today.

🌍 The world isn't aging evenly.

New commentary from our Director Prof. Andy Tatem shows how national averages can hide stark local demographic differences. From Lagos to Kano, and Addis Ababa to Bore, communities within the same country can have very different needs. Better local population data means better planning for schools, healthcare, housing and climate resilience.

The latest short doco from #FrankFilms is an insightful, and depressing, look at why the rebuild of Christchurch city, NZ, after the earthquakes didn’t lead to the planned resurgence of inner city residents and communities. Spoiler: all the new inner city dwellings were built at the arrival of AirBnB into the city, and developers and landlords instead have been making lots of money renting out the properties to short-stay visitors. At the same time, there has been inaction by NZ’s national government to give our cities legislative powers to regulate the hotel-like businesses that are diluting real neighbourhoods.

There’s definitely a lot to think about here.

Raleigh’s Next Wave of Development: What RTP 3.0, Downtown South, and the Depot Historic District Could Mean for Affordability in the Triangle

Raleigh is entering another major chapter of growth. Several high-profile development projects are moving forward that could reshape how people live, work, and spend time throughout the Triangle.

Supporters see these projects as investments that will bring new jobs, housing, entertainment, and public spaces. Critics, however, worry that continued redevelopment and rising property values could accelerate gentrification and make Raleigh even less affordable for longtime residents.

Here’s a look at three major projects that could influence the future of Raleigh.

RTP 3.0: Reimagining Research Triangle Park

Research Triangle Park is preparing for its next evolution through a long-term planning initiative known as RTP 3.0.

The initiative is designed to transform the traditional office park into a more connected community by exploring:

• Additional housing options
• Walkable neighborhoods
• Mixed-use development
• Public gathering spaces
• Improved transportation connections

While detailed development plans have not yet been released, RTP leaders say the goal is to create an environment where people can live, work, and socialize without relying entirely on cars.

Residents interested in learning more can attend the RTP 3.0 Lunch & Learn: Reimagine the Park on August 13.

Potential Impact

If successful, RTP 3.0 could diversify housing choices near one of the nation’s largest employment centers. However, increased demand around RTP may also place additional pressure on housing prices throughout Wake and Durham counties if affordability is not prioritized.

Depot Historic District: Blending History with Modern Development

Downtown Raleigh’s historic Depot area is also preparing for significant investment.

Plans include:

• A 170-room boutique hotel
• More than 30,000 square feet of street-level retail
• Outdoor gathering areas
• Public plazas
• Pedestrian-friendly connections between the Raleigh Convention Center and Red Hat Amphitheater
• Preservation of the historic 1912 Depot building

Developers say the project will strengthen downtown tourism while preserving an important piece of Raleigh’s history.

Potential Impact

The Depot Historic District could become another destination for visitors and residents alike, increasing foot traffic and economic activity. At the same time, nearby property values and commercial rents could continue to rise, raising concerns for existing small businesses and neighboring communities.

Downtown South Returns

After years of delays, Downtown South is once again moving forward.

The proposed mixed-use development near Dorothea Dix Park would include:

• New residential housing
• Office space
• Retail and restaurants
• Entertainment venues
• Public gathering spaces
• A new soccer stadium associated with the ownership group of the NC Courage

If construction begins, the project would dramatically reshape southern downtown Raleigh and create an entirely new urban district.

Potential Impact

Downtown South has the potential to generate significant economic activity and attract new businesses. However, nearby neighborhoods could also experience increasing housing costs and redevelopment pressures as investment expands beyond downtown.

What Does This Mean for Housing Affordability?

Large mixed-use developments often bring new housing, jobs, and amenities that strengthen a city’s economy. However, without a substantial supply of housing at a range of price points, increased demand can contribute to higher home prices and rents.

Some residents have expressed concern that continued redevelopment in Raleigh is accelerating gentrification and making it more difficult for longtime residents to remain in their neighborhoods. Others argue that adding more housing through projects like these can help accommodate growth over time.

The ultimate impact on affordability will depend on several factors, including:

• The amount and type of housing ultimately built
• Whether affordable housing is included
• Local zoning and land-use policies
• Regional population growth
• Infrastructure and transit investments

As these projects continue to evolve, they are likely to remain central topics in conversations about Raleigh’s future.

The Bottom Line

Raleigh continues to attract new residents, employers, and investment at a rapid pace. Projects like RTP 3.0, the Depot Historic District, and Downtown South represent significant opportunities for economic growth and urban transformation.

At the same time, they raise important questions about affordability, neighborhood preservation, and how the city balances growth with the needs of current residents.

As plans become more detailed, DoRaleigh.com will continue following these developments and what they could mean for the future of the Triangle.

Any Canadian urban planning nerds know why perimeter blocks are non-existent in Canada? I assume they're against zoning bylaws across the country, but has there been any experiments in building them?

They solve so many problems, I don't understand why they are not the default form here.

Denmark is painting the town red—for the bats. In a world-first initiative, the municipality of Gladsaxe has switched to red LED streetlights along key roadways to protect local nocturnal wildlife, particularly bat species sensitive to artificial light.
The core scientific insight is that traditional white and blue light spectrums disrupt bats' echolocation and feeding patterns. Red light, however, offers a safe, sustainable alternative that maintains public safety while preserving the local ecosystem.
This isn't just a quirky experiment; it's a smart blueprint for eco-conscious urban planning. The shift reduces light pollution and energy consumption, demonstrating how city infrastructure can meet global sustainability goals (like the UN SDGs) and successfully coexist with nature.

#NewYork - Services for the UnderServed using #UrbanGardens to target food insecurity

The initiative has been so successful that Services for the UnderServed plans to include gardens in all future developments.

Rob Flaks, Jul 17, 2025

"In a city where food and housing insecurity often go hand in hand, Services for the UnderServed (S:US) is planting solutions for both at the same time.

"At a supportive housing complex in #BedStuy, residents are tending to one of the first urban gardens launched by S:US back in 2011. The garden features edible plants, flowers, and even beehives producing fresh honey, - all maintained by the tenants themselves.

" 'To be able to garden, get your hands dirty—it’s an amazing resource I hope all of our community has access to,' said Mike Hollis, vice president of #FoodInsecurity at S:US.

"The initiative has been so successful that S:US plans to include gardens in all future developments. 'When you have that foundation of #HousingSecurity and #FoodSecurity, it gives people the stability to take the next steps in wellness, employment and personal growth,' Hollis said.

"The Bed-Stuy building, which offers stabilized rent for individuals with disabilities and serious health conditions, is home to 54 residents. For tenant Yussuf Salam, the garden has been life-changing. 'I got into the garden, I went to school—you learn things about yourself,' he said.

"But the gardens are just one of over 30 such properties in the borough, with a total of 1,484 housing units. But their latest project is taking root in #EastNewYork, where the organization is developing #Alafia, one of its largest projects to date.

"Alafia is a multiphased, mixed-use development on a 28.5-acre site in the #SpringCreek area. Once complete, it will include 2,400 units of #AffordableHousing and #SupportiveHousing, a health clinic, community and commercial spaces, manufacturing facilities and over 11 acres of publicly #accessible open space.

"Alafia is currently partially opened with 452 affordable housing units for tenants—many of whom are formerly homeless or living with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

"Those behind the project say projects like these are the size and scope they need to tackle our boroughs housing crisis.

" 'That is such an opportunity for the organization and the borough to expand the work, giving people dignified housing and spaces to grow their own food,' Hollis said.

"Just like in Bed-Stuy, any surplus produce from Alafia’s gardens will be donated to local #CommunityFridges, ensuring that the benefits extend beyond the housing sites themselves."

#NorthDakota - Southwest #FargoND nature park site moving along, eyeing 2027 phase 1 completion

The Southwest Pond Regional Recreational Area will offer #NatureTrails, restored natural habitat and possibly an urban fishing spot in the future.

By Robin Huebner
August 02, 2025 at 5:30 AM

FARGO — "What will be a new regional recreation area in southwest Fargo is beginning to take shape.

"The Fargo Park District has received a more than $520,000 Outdoor Heritage Fund grant from the North Dakota Industrial Commission for its portion of the Southwest Pond Regional Recreational Area.

"The grant program is funded with oil and gas production tax revenue and supports projects related to outdoor sporting, stewardship practices, fish and wildlife preservation and outdoor recreation areas, the district said.

"A partnership between the park district and city of Fargo, the project stretches from 52nd Avenue South to 64th Avenue South between Veterans Boulevard and a farm field off 45th Street.

"Park Director Tony Schmitt said it includes 160 acres of park land to be restored to upland prairie and wetlands, providing habitat for deer, pheasants, ducks and other migratory birds.
Nature trails and concrete trails will weave alongside a sprawling, 40 acre pond."

[...]

"The land will be seeded with native grasses and flowers, Schmitt said. Benches and interpretive signs offering information about the surrounding environment will go up and trails will go in."

Redeveloping United Center Parking Lots

Wow, this looks really cool. The United Center is a sea of parking in the middle of downtown Chicago.

"New retail, entertainment and residential district could not only be a boon for Chicago professional sports attendance, but spur a new wave of interest and economic activity that creates a halo effect and spreads out to neighborhoods that have historically been inadequately served. "
