General Flashcards
Meta-Analysis
Meta-analysis is a powerful tool when used appropriately to provide valuable insights
into plan performance by making scores comparable across various plan quality
characteristics, as pointed out by Philip Berke and David Godschalk (2009) in “Searching
for the Good Plan: A Meta-Analysis of Plan Quality Studies” Journal of Planning
Literature 23(3): 227-240.
LOS A
Less than 10 second delay - Free flow
LOS B
10-20 second delay (stable flow with slight delays)
LOS C
25-35 second delays (Stable flow) acceptable delays
LOS D
35-55 seconds Approaching unstable flow (tolerable delay, occasionally wait through more than one signal cycle before proceeding)
LOS E
55-80 seconds (intolerable delay) unstable flow
LOS F
Over 80 seconds (forced flow) jammed
Triple Bottom Line

City Humane
1930s - is associated with the Great
Depression and concentrated on social and economic issues and ways of alleviating the
problems of unemployment, poverty, and urban plight.
City Functional
developed during
the 1940’s with the growth of the military and renewed industrialization. This movement
emphasized functionalism and administrative efficiency, and contributed to the federal
government’s increased involvement in local planning and the passage of Section 701 of the Housing Act in 1954. The 701 program subsidized thousands of general plans and special projects for cities, counties, regional councils of government, and states until 1981.
