Human scale. Quite often when architects talk about human scale they’re referring to the height, width, and mass of elements in the built environment. But, the one thing we often leave out is distance and time. The scale at which the typical person is willing to walk -the length and the time that it takes them to do daily activities- is an important factor in creating fully functioning neighborhoods (mixed use). The Neighborhood Unit Diagram, Clarence Perry 1929. 5 minute walk from center to edge (1/4 mile).

Thinking about investing in property? Conducting a feasibility study can be a game-changer. It’s crucial to know what you can build, how big, and the estimated costs. 🏠📊 Companies that offer comprehensive services—from design and architecture to construction—often include feasibility studies in their quotes. This helps you understand the potential and limitations of your property. For example, building on a 5-unit property only makes sense if zoning laws allow the expansion. Always get the details before you proceed! #realestateinvesting #feasibilitystudy #propertyinvesting

Retired Respected Global Innovator in Transit Oriented Development
9moWhile the Clarence Perry diagram is historically important, the 1/4 mile circle is much too simplistic. Different trip types respond to distance differently. For example people will walk much further from home to transit then they will from transit to work. And the quality of walking, including ped-car conflict points, amount of mixed use, personal safety and much more all come into play.
