6. Preparation of Proposals

7. Proposal stage Vision, objective and principle setting Conceptual development Landuse proposal Social proposal (social service and problem) Economic proposal (job creation and commercial clusters) Transport and street network Housing proposal Environmental proposal Center plan

8. Setting vision Vision is a statement of where a city wants to be, usually in 10-15 years Characteristics specific, internally consistent, and realistic referring to the characteristics, problems and potentials of the city short (no more than 60 words) ,meaningful to all stakeholder and should be phrased in a way to be understood by everybody creates an identity for a city, enabling it to standout in the world stays the same for the intended years, tactics to implement the vision may change

9. Inputs for vision City/neighbourhood Its comparative and competitive advantage; Its values and preferences of its residents; Its relationship to the global, domestic , and sub-national economies (especially in the hinterland and competitive cities); Its history and culture; and physical characteristics, such as location, climate, terrain, water supply, and scenic attributes

10. Examples " Our vision is to create a neighbourhood that is safe, welcoming, and vibrant, with accessible amenities, green spaces, and community events that foster social connections and a strong sense of belonging.“ “a neighbourhood that prioritizes sustainable development, with energy-efficient buildings, clean transportation options, and green infrastructure that supports biodiversity and reduces our environmental footprint.“

11. Goals and objectives Goals and objectives should relate to the identified problems should be phrased as a solution of the problems must be driven directly from vision should clearly indicate the intended benefit for people or municipality Ought to be SMART ( S pecific , M easurable , A chievable , R ealistic and T ime bound)

12. Examples of objectives Protect natural character of the city Build a green network Re-integrate riparian areas Link and protect the waterfront Increase and diversify green space Utilize natural storm water assets

13. Urban principles Planning principles refer to the fundamental concepts and guidelines that guide the development of cities and communities. These principles are intended to ensure that urban areas are designed and developed in a way that promotes sustainability, livability , equity, and economic prosperity. Some of the key principles of urban planning include:

14. Examples of principles Walkability and accessibility Liveability Inclusivity Mixeduse development Safety and security Sustainability etc.

15. Concept development Steps to be followed Identify the spatial development trend Indicate major roads integrating future expansion areas and existing built up area Indicate future development / expansion areas incorporating main elements Indicate main center and sub- centers clearly Identify landuse zoning (schematic)

16. Examples The major issues considered during the functional relations include: Compatibility with each other Spatial connection Socio-economic interaction Environmental connection

17. Examples

18. Planning for social problems Forecast population size for the planning period (its possible to take the proposed density standards) Propose solutions for problems associated with the location, distribution, structure and condition of social services including schools, health centers, social welfare etc. Propose solutions for identified social problems (spatial or non-spatial solutions)

19. Planning for Economic problems Forecast population size for the planning period (its possible to take the proposed density standards) Propose solutions for problems associated with the location, distribution, structure and condition of economic activity such as market structure, unemployment, commercial mixes etc.

20. Planning for housing Prepare housing areas development plan consisting of the size, location, distribution of housing areas and corresponding population density levels, Recommend allowable space standards and facilities, Recommend necessary mix of income groups in housing developments; Propose housing intervention areas (upgrading and renewal) and spell out strategies Recommend general construction standards and safety Recommend strategies for development of housing for low and medium income households; Recommend housing finance and subsidy mechanisms for low-income households.

21. Landuse proposal Provision of sufficient land for housing, business, industry, services, open space, community gathering space, recreational space etc. according to standards Considerations Health and safety (protection against hazardous environment) Compatibility and use relationship ( Eg. Residence-school, work, recreation) Function of the circulatory system (Proximity and Accessibility)

22. Landuse locations Mixed Living and working area Living areas are the residential communities/ neighborhoods and their accessory facilities such as neighborhood stores, local parks, and elementary schools. Living areas should be convenient to work, shopping, and leisure sites, as well as to public transport and through fare routes, open spaces, and community facilities. They should be buffered from incompatible uses such as heavy industry and heavily traveled through fares. They should contain small-scale recreation shopping, office, and educational facilities. There should be a wide range of densities, housing types, and location to offer wide choice. They should be in locations that are economical to develop and serve.

23. Landuse locations Mixed Commerce Areas Areas for shopping, entertainment, market include major shopping and entertainment centers and corridors These should be centrally located and convenient to living areas, served by public transit and main roads. They should be of sufficient size and in locations to accommodate a wide range of goods and services activities and serve a variety of trade areas. Community facility Community facilities should be near to the user population, located at convenient distances

24. Landuse locations Environment Major parks and large open spaces should be reserved in locations that take advantage of, as well as protect, natural processes, vulnerable environments, and unusual natural features, and to provide a variety of recreation opportunities. Forest and other open spaces should also be located to provide definition to neighborhoods and districts as well as to moderate climate, noise, light and air pollution; they should also provide access to open space. Most development should be kept away from environmentally hazardous areas such as flood plains, fault lines, steep slopes susceptible to sliding and unstable soils. Built-up areas shall be designated where development has already occurred and urban services exist.

25. Proposed Land use map

26. Transport and Street Some of street planning considerations include City Structure plan proposals Future Development of the area Exiting pattern and size M ain arterial streets Functional organization of the proposed landuses Topographic features Planning principles and standards

27. Street pattern

28. Street pattern

29. Plan Final output should show An interconnected network of street Intersection design Intergradation with the landuse Multi-functional/multi modal transport supporting street systems Increased accessibility Priority to public and non-motorized transport Smooth traffic flow Better parking design and management Standard utility design

30. Environmental and Aesthetic Considerations Parkways – preserve green space along roads – can be a welcome relief from interspersed commercial and signage Incorporate green spaces into the neighborhood design, such as parks, gardens, and trees. sustainable infrastructure, such as green roofs, rain gardens, and permeable pavement, to manage stormwater runoff and reduce the urban heat island effect. provide for bike paths and pedestrian travel to provide alternatives to auto travel Bike and pedestrian paths to transit stops encourage public transportation as well Provide for safe bike parking Bikeways can be developed along abandoned railroad rights of way, or along river banks – linear parks

31. Blocks Smaller block size makes for more pedestrian friendly environment and easier access Internal Mixed-use blocks Use the spacing standard between local streets? e.g. 70m x 120m block = 8400 sq.m . (.84 hectare) and has a perimeter of 380 m. E.g. 100 x 100 for apartment blocks (square blocks) Perimeter for walkability 360 – 600 m. Slightly greater width if alley is included Lot/parcel size could be 12 x 33 m for sf dwellings (396 sq. m), with 4 m for alley Main street frontage blocks (rectangular blocks) Large blocks can be used to accommodate large buildings E.g. 80m x 150m, 100 x 150m
