Abstract
Since the design of the automobile, vehicles have dominated urban life transforming the human experience. The culture in which humans once engaged each other and their environment has diminished as asphalt takes over green spaces. In addition, the environment has suffered from the release of green house gases fueling the urban life. It is time for communities like Cupertino, California to initiate sustainable alternatives ways of travel…

Team NYSDOT
Abstract
The objective of this project was to design a master plan on an existing department of transportation site that is in the process of being moved to a new location. The site was to include passive design strategies, Personal Rapid Transit System (PRT), and a mix of building types including residential, commercial, offices, and a transportation center. It was decided that cars would be eliminated from the site to take full advantage of the PRT system that would travel through the site…

Team Santa Clara
Abstract
Our proposal focuses on a rezoning area of San Jose in-between Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and San Jose City College. Our vision for the project places an importance on creating a stronger connection between users of both the hospital and college. We believe the creation of a public green space, along with the implementation of improved public transit can act as centerpiece for this urban development…
