Marrying Market Timing with Human-Centered Urban Design: How Investors and Municipalities Can Better Realize Transit Oriented Development
Author: Jared Katseff
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1329189493
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
My thesis sought to better understand the interaction between transit investments and property values. Specifically, I sought to understand when in the investment cycle residential properties went from their pre- to post- transit value and what urban design impacts could help amplify this change. For each of the corridors studied, market sales transaction data was collected for all residential properties that were within a half-mile walkshed of each new station. From this data, we calculated growth rate premiums that existed for the property values in the transit area walksheds versus a control, as well as how these premiums evolved over time. Surveys were also conducted in each of the corridors to document and quantify the existence of various characteristics associated with walkable human-centered urban design. This data was applied to the market sales data, in a multiple regression analysis, to determine which urban design features were most associated with higher property value growth rates.

Boston in Transit
Author: Steven Beaucher
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262048078
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 586
Book Description
A richly illustrated story of public transit in one of America’s most historic cities, from public ferry and horse-drawn carriage to the MBTA. A lively tour of public transportation in Boston over the years, Boston in Transit maps the complete history of the modes of transportation that have kept the city moving and expanding since its founding in 1630—from the simple ferry serving an English settlement to the expansive network of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, or MBTA. The story of public transit in Boston—once dubbed the Hub of the Universe—is a journey through the history of the American metropolis. With a remarkable collection of maps and architectural and engineering drawings at hand, Steven Beaucher launches his account from the landing where English colonists established that first ferry, carrying passengers between what is now Boston’s North End and Charlestown—and sparing them what had been a two-day walk around Boston Harbor. In the 1700s, horse-drawn coaches appeared on the scene, connecting Boston and Cambridge, with the bigger, better Omnibus soon to follow. From horse-drawn coaches, horse-drawn railways evolved, making way for the electric streetcar networks that allowed the city’s early suburbs to sprout—culminating in the multimodal, regional public transportation network in place in Boston today. With photographs, brochures, pamphlets, guidebooks, timetables, and tickets, Boston in Transit creates a complete picture of the everyday experience of public transportation through the centuries. At once a practical reference, local history, and travelogue, this book will be cherished by armchair tourists, day-trippers, and serious travelers alike.
