Surveys
The Center trains
local agencies and organizations in how to use visual surveys
properly, develops area-specific surveys, and helps communities develop
their own surveys.
Resources
The Center maintains speakers lists, bibliographies, and an array
of different information — including studies, reports and model
codes — on outstanding examples of pedestrian- and transit-oriented
land use planning from across the country. The Center also maintains
a growing collection of articles under 120 subject areas — from
"Adaptive Re-Use" to "Youth Planning." You can find selected items
in our Resources section.
