1.251/11.526  Comparative Land Use

I posted Randall Crane's slides under the lecture note section of Stellar.

Don't forget, I will be in 9-251 for office hours for Assignment 2 from 12:30-5pm today. See you then if you have any questions!

Best,
Tegin

On Tuesday we will have a guest speaker, Randall Crane, author of readings from your Feb. 28 class, “On Form versus Function: Will the New Urbanism Reduce Traffic, or Increase it?” and the Mar. 4 class, “The Influence of Urban Form on Travel.” If you would like to know more about his work, visit his site at UCLA: http://www.spa.ucla.edu/dept.cfm?d=up&s=faculty&f=faculty1.cfm&id=44. He also has a blog on urban planning: http://planningresearch.blogspot.com/

I have set up lab hours Wednesday 12:30-5 in 9-251. This time is completely open and optional, so if you need help working with GIS for the assignment please feel free to drop in.  They have something like10-15 computers, so you can just sit in there and work on the assignment and ask me questions as needed.  If you are having troubles and neither person in your group can make it in those 4.5 hours, feel free to email me and we can try to set up another time, but please fit it into that time frame if humanly possible.

A new version of the syllabus was posted on 2/12/08.  A hard copy of all of the readings for the course is also now on reserve in a binder in the Rotch library: http://libraries.mit.edu/rotch/index.html.
