(or the <br />District). <br />The transformation in how development open space becomes more compact happens <br />in part or in whole from the center of the neighborhood. to the edge over several different <br />degrees of sophistication described. as: <br />• Urban core, <br />• Neighborhood. centers, <br />• Nei, hborhood. general areas, and. <br />• Suburban areas. <br />Each degree has a set of design principles that take place in arrangements unique to the <br />site and. its location in the gradation from urban to suburban. <br />For instance, shopping can take place in a large department store in core districts, I in <br />markets or storefronts in neighborhood. centers — or in comer stores in nei, hborhood. <br />general areas. In less compact, more automobile dependent suburban areas, shopping <br />occurs at regional malls and. shopping centers — or via mail, phone and. internet from <br />homes. <br />This pattern repeats itself within the many neighborhood.s and. districts of a city. <br />Complete neighborhood.s or districts generally are made up at least three of the four <br />typical urban zones — yet they are all within walking distance of each other. It is feasible <br />to have limited. suburban residential areas connected. to urban districts, but it is not <br />acceptable to have predominantly or exclusively suburban "Big Box" commercial areas <br />connected. to neighborhood.s, as they generally obliterate walkability due to their scale. <br />There is also limited. au. tomobile-I scaled. commercial development appropriate along <br />commercial corridors, but this development will be limited. and. provide pedestrian access <br />to aqjoining residential areas. <br />N <br />y q <br />INN-- <br />N"I <br />v, <br />T ..
