  1. MAPC study area

  2. 2030: Alternate Futures • WOC envisions the results of more comprehensive regional planning • Result of community workshops—what do participants want their town to look like in 2030? • Looked at housing, demographic trends, employment, land use, etc. “Let It Be” “Winds Of Change”

  3. 2030: Alternate Futures • LIB predicts much greater loss of open space • LIB: 152,000 acres lost • WOC: 48,000 acres lost • Water shortage • LIB: 50 systems exceed permit limits • WOC: Only 8 exceed limits

  4. Housing Types

  5. Housing Types -8 housing types -3 land use categories: BNW, Residential, Commercial/Industrial, -For “Buildable Non-Wetland” landuse, two different model projections

  6. Grid data: VMT

  7. Grid data: VMT • Can do interesting things with grid data- map algebra, focal sum grids, etc. • How to combine with TAZ-level data on housing?

  8. Task at hand: Housing Allocation • Why look at housing below the level of the TAZ? -Accessibility affects where housing will (or should) go -Smaller scale  more engaging? -May be able to predict environmental impact—how VMT responds to development -A “check” on the MetroFuture model -Lofty goal: an algorithm to dump any data into

  9. Case study: Brookline • Intermediate between urban and rural—some open space, but mostly residential and industrial

  10. Case study: Brookline • Intermediate between urban and rural—some open space, but mostly residential and industrial

  11. Case study: Brookline • Intermediate between urban and rural—some open space, but mostly residential and industrial

  12. Case study: Wrentham • Rural—lots of BNW land

  13. Case study: Wrentham • Rural area • TAZs are very large compared to intermediate/urban towns • Effect of breaking down housing to smaller scale even more apparent

  14. Allocation: What is it for? • Assumptions are built into the allocation algorithm • This has implications for how you talk about allocation at the local level • Is the allocation a goal? • Is it a prediction?

  15. Allocation Strategies • Shan: Housing demand and accessibility • Paul: Two algorithms: Low VMT and Random • Masa: Case study: Wrentham • Abner: Case study: Brookline • Wanli and Yi: Neighborhood Emphasis
