      <title>PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/468345</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The city of Portland, Oregon created a pedestrian-priority map to identify areas where existing and potential pedestrian use is high and to identify areas where improvements will help to implement the Pedestrian Master Plan. To prioritize the streets, each of the 31,027 street segments in the city was ranked according to its classification in the city's comprehensive plan, proximity to an elementary school, and Region 2040 designation. It was then assigned a point value that resulted in color codings, ranging in the order of the spectrum from orange-yellow (no points) to green (eight points). The resulting map plots a fairly clear pattern of high-priority centers of pedestrian activity.]]></description>

      <title>THE PRAIRIE ANNUAL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/35535</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article contains a month by month account of the reconstruction of a prairie.  It is an unusual account, however, in that the author, using poetry and prose, appeals not only to our understanding of the means of reconstruction, but to our realization of the urgency for it.  Consider these words from the author's introduction: Prairie isn't only grass.  It's sensitive organism of plants, animals, birds, reptiles, and invertebrates.  We've destroyed and altered most of the prairie community... traded thousands of living things for bushels of corn. Now civilized man knows that value of indigenous plant communities.  The question in no longer "Why save them?" but rather "How to save them?"]]></description>

      <title>PLANNING FOR HAZARDS IN EVERYDAY LANDSCAPES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/38854</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A river's rise, a crustal fracture, a reduction in soil moisture, an increase in windspeed - all are acts of nature. Floods, earthquakes, droughts or storms are acts percipitated by men. This is one central finding after 15 years of intensive geographical research on natural hazards, their geophysical dimensions, human impact and social response. There are no floods unless there are people, buildings or livestock to be damaged. The responsibility falls on those who use and inhabit the large areas of the earth subject to high recurrent natural hazards, and even more directly on those who plan land use and design habitations. Suggestions are made for development of more flexible technical and social responses to hazards which result in drought, fog, frost, soil creep or expansive soils.]]></description>

      <title>ZERO RUNOFF</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/140025</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This group of seven articles leaves to the courts the continuing battle over water rights, and takes to the field for a panoramic view of the design and management of moving waters, all involving approaches to zero runoff. The account begins in  England with a description of comprehensive stream-management in a new community; then gets down to small-scale grit and gravel, to crushed stone and permeable pavements that encourage rain to soak in where it falls. The scale expands to Texas and an 18,000-acre new town site which is so flat that which way the land drains depends on which way the wind blows. Lake salvage operations are reviewed -- what to do when all else has failed and the lake or loch has filled with sediment.]]></description>

      <title>TREE PLANTING RECONSIDERED: AN ARGUMENT FOR BIG TRANSPLANTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/103356</link>
      <description><![CDATA[THE LIFE SPAN OF CITY STRUCTURES IS ABOUT 50 YEARS, WHILE TREES LIVE 75 TO 150 YEARS AND TAKE 35 YEARS TO MATURE. A RATIONAL SOLUTION IS TO PLANT TREES OF A SIZE THAT CORRESPONDS TO THE ESTIMATED SPAN OF YEARS FOR THE LAND USE. A METHOD IS GIVEN FOR DISCOUNTING DOLLAR BENEFITS MINUS COSTS IN ORDER TO FIND OPTIMUM PLANTING TIME FOR ONE SPECIES, THE HACKBERRY, A RELATIVELY SLOW-GROWING, ELM-LIKE TREE. /AUTHOR/]]></description>
