For this assignment, you will select a city, preferably in a large metropolitan area, and conduct a research on that city’s history from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present with particular attention to the interrelationship between growth patterns and the transportation system. It is expected that you apply the principles covered in class and contained in your required readings to describe the evolution of these cities and the role that land use and transportation played in its development. The student shall compile available data in the form of statistical tables, maps, figures and images in order to gain a greater understanding of the dynamic of changes. It is encouraged that students collect and examine the socio-economic conditions, available travel modes, transportation infrastructures, etc. throughout time. The student shall use the data collected and analyzed to develop a story-line for your selected city.
