A developer is planning a mixed-use project that will include 1,000 single family homes, office space, retail, and townhomes. Which of the following neighborhood design strategies help promote connectivity?
A: Gated communities
B: Providing housing types for a wide range of incomes
C: Street-grid patterns
D: Cul-de-sacs

参考答案: C

本题解释:
C:A street pattern is how the streets are laid out. A street-grid pattern is one in which streets are laid out in squares/rectangles. Consider a city center that has blocks and how quickly individuals can get around compared to a suburban area in which the streets are not designed in a grid.
A:Gated communities block people from moving freely through the community to get to the other side, hindering walkability.
B:This helps with the human element of the triple bottom line but having a diverse neighborhood does not promote connectivity.
D:Cul-de-sacs are dead ends that don\'t connect to anything.
Notes:
Connectivity is the ability for people to get from place to place easily without using automobiles. It encourages walking by making it easier for people to get around.
When developing communities focus on creating sustainable sites, this includes designing walkable streets, promoting connectivity by using a street-grid pattern, providing diverse land uses that include a mix of services (such as shops and restaurants), and creating a diverse community by providing housing types for a wide range of incomes and promoting alternative transportation.
