------=_NextPart_000_0119_01C44811.DC8600F0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable hi all sorry about the cross posting I am looking for the following info. If anyone can help me track it down, = I would appreciate it. Joel Crawford, in his book, CARFREE CITIES, page 142-143, describes the lan= d use percentages as they would be in a carfree district. He lists the fol= lowing: buildings: 38.3% streets/ pavement: 28.9% open space: 31.0% metro freight line: 1.8% i would love to have similar figures for any cities or suburbs anywhere in = the world, but especially in the U.S. I want to have these figures to use = in educational materials to be able to demonstrate what the advantages of c= arfree developments can be. i have tried contacting city planning departments via e-mail, and have eith= er gotten no response or the response that they do not have that data. I i= magine that it could be calculated using aerial fotos. Does anyone have any ideas of where I might find this data? Also, if peopl= e could find out the data for their particular town or city (and pass it al= ong to me), I could compile it and put it on our website. I think that it would be very valuable to have. Thanks in advance for your help.
