As the line between rural and urban space have blurred over time, the clarity of this boundary is needed once again. Public transportation, and specifically rail, is one tool that can bring a sense of urbanity back to the city, developing the city about transit stations and the scale of the pedestrian, rather than the nebulous streetscapes and limitless suburbs constructed for the automobile. Following a period of vast over construction in America, people are beginning to reconsider the suburban life and look again at the numerous benefits of city living. Based upon the guidelines of New Urbanism town planning, a new form of urban design has recently emerged. The Transit-Oriented Design (TOD) was founded on the concept that public transit and the pedestrian are the primary design concern within a community. The needs of the automobile should not detract from the environment but rather become integrated within a people-oriented community. Traditionally, TODs have been implemented in suburban locations, in newly planned towns or in generally more remote settings. They offer a newer, and more detached version of what our cities used to offer. It is becoming apparent that TODs must be utilized in order to restore a needed sense of urban living: a pedestrian scaled, dense, urban context. If people have begun to search for a denser urban environment, the downtowns of American cities must act as the model for newer suburban reinterpretation. Cincinnati is among those cities that require drastic downtown re-urbanization. The city has become riddled with expansive parking lots, leaving gaping wounds in the center of the city. One of the largest wounds within the city center is Broadway Commons. Now mostly parking lots, it serves only the automobile, completely disregarding the pedestrian and the urban scale of downtown. The only memory that remains of public transportation and the pedestrian is the Greyhound station, currently in a state of disrepair, with no connection to the surrounding urban fabric and its community. This thesis aims to integrate a redesigned Greyhound station within a revitalized urban landscape, comprised of community and transit. As Cincinnati begins to move toward a more efficient and expansive transit system, a TOD would be an appropriate strategy to apply to a new Broadway Commons district. This thesis aims to develop a strategy to develop a neighborhood center, with transit as the core, to create a better sense of community, place and urbanism for the city of Cincinnati.

The Global Street Design Guide is a timely resource that sets a global baseline for designing streets and public spaces and redefines the role of streets in a rapidly urbanizing world. The guide will broaden how to measure the success of urban streets to include: access, safety, mobility for all users, environmental quality, economic benefit, public health, and overall quality of life. The first-ever worldwide standards for designing city streets and prioritizing safety, pedestrians, transit, and sustainable mobility are presented in the guide. Participating experts from global cities have helped to develop the principles that organize the guide. The Global Street Design Guide builds off the successful tools and tactics defined in NACTO's Urban Street Design Guide and Urban Bikeway Design Guide while addressing a variety of street typologies and design elements found in various contexts around the world.

Can transportation problems be fixed by the right neighborhood design? The tremendous popularity of the "new urbanism" and "livable communities" initiatives suggests that many persons think so. As a systematic assessment of attempts to solve transportation problems through urban design, this book asks and answers three questions: Can such efforts work? Will they be put into practice? Are they a good idea?

This thesis looks at the challenges and opportunities associated with designing pedestrian routes and public spaces near transit for safe and enjoyable use at nighttime. Since most commuters in northern latitudes spend several months a year commuting in the dark, landscapes that help them access transit more easily in evening hours should increase willingness to use public transit. In particular, illuminated art or light art integrated into the urban landscape can be used for wayfinding, placemaking, visibility, and increasing natural surveillance. Research is conducted into the history of public space at night, the psychology and physiology of experiencing public nighttime spaces, and the current state of lighting standards and technology, with an emphasis on the dichotomy of night as a time for both festivity and caution. A station area is proposed for a subdistrict in Ballard, Seattle that currently has a number of nighttime workers and anticipates future transit development. The subdistrict site is analyzed for its current lighting situation and circulation. Light, art installations, and other suggested treatments are grouped by function and applied to the site in conceptual design sketches. Finally, recommendations and design suggestions are given according to street and lighting typology for nighttime-oriented interventions to improve the pedestrian experience in the proposed station area.
