GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS - Walkability research project presented at the 2012 national American Planning Association conference –
This project was completed within the framework of a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) class at San Jose State University, San Jose, California and explores the relationship between urban form and walk-ability. Market Street in San Francisco was chosen as a case study. The walkability of Market Street was measured using three walkability tools:
1. The walkability section of LEED ND (Neighborhood Development) rating system - This section is within the Neighborhood Pattern and Design section of LEED ND and addresses issues related to: facades and entries; building height to street width ratios; sidewalk continuity and width; etc.
2. Walk Score - Walk Score generates a walkability score by mapping out the walking distance to certain
WALKABILITY
amenities such as parks, restaurants, schools, etc. Its focus is primarily on land use rather than form: http://www.walkscore.com/
3. Public Life Survey - this survey was conducted by the City of San Francisco as part of the Better Market Street project. Volunteers counted the number of people passing by specific locations along Market Street between 8am-6pm on a weekday and a weekend.
This project was presented at the 2012 National American Planning Association conference in Los Angeles and was well received. It was also presented at Perkins+Will to the San Francisco office and virtually to the urban design leadership in the firm.

How Walkable is Market Street?Measuring Market Street’s Walkability using LEED ND Criteria, Walk Score, and a Public Life Survey, San Francisco, 2012
San Francisco
its long route. This project explored the degree to which 8 chosen areas of Market Street are walkable according to the following measurement tools:
1) The Walkable Streets section of LEED ND (Neighborhood Development) rating system - This section is within the Neighborhood Pattern and Design chapter of LEED ND and addresses issues related to: facades and entries; building height to street ratios; sidewalk continuity and width; and more.
2) Walk Score - Walk Score generates a walkability score by mapping out the walking distance to certain amenities such as parks, restaurants, schools, etc. Its focus is primarily on land use rather than form: http://www.walkscore.com/
3) Public Life Survey - This survey was conducted by the City of San Francisco as part of the Better Market Street project. Volunteers counted the number of people passing by specific locations along Market Street between 8am-6pm on a weekday and weekend.
AbstractsThis project explores the relationship between urban form and walkability. Market Street, in San Francisco, was chosen as the project site. The walkability of Market Street was measured using three measurement tools: The Walkability section of LEED ND, Walk Score and a Public Live Survey completed by the City of San Francisco.
Key PointsThis project was completed within the framework of a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) class at San Jose State University, San Jose, California. The choice of Market Street as the project site stems from the desire to contribute a layer of knowledge to the “Better Market Street” project. This project was initiated by the City of San Francisco to revital-ize Market Street to be “the city’s most vibrant public space”. Market Street is an interesting and important public space that varies significantly along
Key ConclusionsThe results of this project are displayed in the maps below and the images and maps to the right.
The results from the walkbility section of LEED ND are more aligned with the Public Life Survey, compared with the results from Walk Score.
According to the walkability section of LEED ND and the Public Life Survey, Market Street is most walkable in the Retail District and gradually less walkable to the east and west of that district, with the Octavia District (at the far west) being the least walkable.
According to Walk Score, Market Street is a “Walkers Paradise” throughout the entire project site with scores above 90 out of 100 in all 8 areas.
In general, Market Street is a destination street that attracts many pedestrians. Some of its locations attract some of the busiest foot traffic in the country while others need significant improvement.
AcknowledgementI would like to thank Rick Kos, AICP, instructor for the GIS class within which this work was prepared, for his excellent course and for his assistance with this work. I would also like to thank the City of San Francisco for allowing me to use the results of their Public Life Survey for this work.
Images and survey results were taken from the Public Life Survey document prepared by the City of San Francisco, and available on the Better Market Street website: http://www.bettermarketstreetsf.org/ Permission was granted by the City of San Francisco to use this material in this project.

TTHREE OF MANY EXAMPLES OF DEVELOPMENT THAT COULD OCCUR BASED ON INPUT
Building heights range from 2 to 8 floors (lego pieces).
Each grid block should have at least this amount of space open to the sky:
Uses on the site will consist of blue (office), yellow (resi-dential), and red (retail) lego pieces.
Yellow and blue lego should not mix within a grid block.
The main street should have retail on the ground floor.
Spot retail is also allowed on the ground floor in other areas.
STANDARDS (RULES OF GAME) and BUILDING BLOCKS (GAME ELEMENTS)
are identical to the ones in the Simplified Model Demonstration (left).
One Change from the STANDARDS (RULES OF GAME) in the Simplified Model Demonstration (left):
The open space requirement doubles. Each grid block should have at least this amount of space open to the sky:
S T O C H A S T I C D E S I G N Stochastic - “of or pertaining to a process involving a RANDOMLY determined sequence of observations each of which is considered as a sample of one element from a probability distribution” (dictionary.com).
Develop a software modeling tool that would simulate how development might occur according to development standards created for an urban design project and inputted into the model. The model would randomly shuffle the inputted data and create a simulated place based on the data inputted. The output would be one of many options. The random shuffle would be similar to how an iPod shuffles songs in a random order.
As apposed to architecture, in urban design the creation is often a frame-work for how development should occur on a site. It typically does not in-clude the actual design of buildings. Urban designers create drawings and renderings in an attempt to portray a vision, a place or a concept for how a place could develop. However, what we see in these drawings is not what will actually get built. Development of properties as part of an urban de-sign project is a process that is one step removed from the urban designer who has some, but not full control, over how development may occur.
The idea of the modeling tool suggested here, is to capture two aspects of how development occurs in the real world:
1. It is done by people (developers, architects, engineers) other than the urban designer. Therefore the urban designer does not have full control over the outcome. With this tool, the urban designer would be relinquishing control over to the computer simulating this detachment. This would enable the testing of the standards before they are adopted.2. It is varied by its very nature because several, if not many architects, may be designing buildings that are all part of the same urban design project. Designing this simulation tool to randomly shuffle the input to create a vari-ety of options, all within our regulatory framework, would capture the idea of varied development.
THE GAME ANALOGYIn this work, urban design is being compared to a board game and demon-strated specifically through lego. An artificial place is constructed out of lego pieces by several different people that are one step removed from the urban design framework created by me. The model demonstration below attempts to take an urban design regulatory framework and simplify it to very basic elements for demonstration purposes. In reality, an urban design project is much more complex and may include very detailed regulations.

BUILDING BLOCKS - GAME ELEMENTS
STANDARDS - RULES OF GAME
MODEL INPUT Input to the model would include three basic types:1. Layout / Board - aspects of a design that pertain to the physical location of elements which are determined by the urban designer and not subject to change, such as: the location of a grid of streets and their specifications; the location and shape of public open space; the uses in certain locations, etc.2. Building Blocks / Game Elements - aspects of a design that repeat or multiply, such as: residential or office units; floors; or massing of a certain size or shape (like legos in the game analogy); etc. Building blocks include inherent restrictions that would enable the model to function. Otherwise the possibilities would be endless resulting in outcomes that may not be logical or don’t look anything like buildings or an urban setting. 3. Development Standards / Rules of Game - aspects of a design that govern development but are not set in a specific location on the site, such as: massing with a predetermined range in size (i.e. height limits); trees ranging in type and size; a determination that blocks should have a certain amount of open space or FAR; a determination that a mix of uses should occur; etc. See Simplified Model Demonstration below.

SIMPLIFIED MODEL DEMONSTRATION
CHANGING THE MODEL INPUT
MODEL OUTPUT In this work, each outcome was produced by various people for demon-stration purposes. The idea however, is that data would be inputted into a software modeling program and have it simulate a place based on this data.
The simulated place, would be based entirely on our design and develop-ment standards, but may be different from what we envisioned. There may be aspects to the outcome that could surprise us in both positive and negative ways. For example, the outcomes of the model demonstration (left) raise many questions and would require additional restrictions or revisions to the development standards regarding: how buildings relate to the central open space (Outcome 2 and 3); requirements for more consis-tent percentage of street wall per block (Outcome 3); The way open space within each block relates to open space in adjacent blocks; etc.
On the other hand, it was surprising, in a positive way, to see the variation between each model outcome, using the same standards. Each time we run the model the result would differ slightly. The more restrictive our de-velopment standards are, the less variation we would have between each run of the model and between each building within the model.
our urban design projects to stakeholders. It would crystallize the un-derlying concept and vision of a project as it demonstrate those aspects that could vary within this vision. Rules that facilitate creative development – Being able to easily see the result of a certain set of standards can facilitate the development of more sophisticated and clever standards that would then facilitate more creative results. I believe our development standards should not only allow for creativity to occur but should pro-actively facilitate it. This requires finding the right balance between setting a clear direction for development, but also facilitating creativity and creative interpretations of our standards. This tool would allow quicker and more varied experi-mentations of our standards potentially making our thought process more flexible and open.
Paradigm shift – Instead of thinking of design in terms of what a place or a building should be, with this tool, the designer is also aware of those aspects that can, and possibly should remain random, varied and ever changing. Design becomes a way to channel the random flow. One of the wonderful things about cities and places is the unknown, the surprising. We should allow for the unknown to occur.
B E N E F I T SInform our design and development standards - This tool would test our development standards before they are adopted. The results of the model output would inform our design and development standards. We might see certain relationships between buildings that we like and want to retain. Al-ternatively, we might find negative outcomes that we want to limit. We could then adjust the standards accordingly.
It is true that we already have tools that attempt to test our development standards. We try and consider all options, worst case scenarios and draw these out. However, the difference with this tool, is that we remove our-selves from the testing process by inputting the data into a software pro-gram. Additionally, the software program is set up to shuffles between the full range of options available within the restrictions provided. This poten-tially opens up a whole range of possibilities that the urban designer may not have considered.
Communication – The ability to show a number of variations to how an ur-ban design project could get developed, would help us better communicate

PERKINS+WILL IDEAS COMPETITION AND CONFERENCE Participation in the Perkins+Will Ideas Competition - Perkins+Will conducted its first firmwide Ideas
Competition in 2012 to promote an innovative and creative work environment. The participation in this competition was voluntary. Employees were encouraged to come up with big ideas. The format of the submission was open. Below is Hadasa’s submission. Her idea was to develop a software modeling tool that would simulate how development might occur according to development standards created for an ur-ban design project and inputted into the model. The model would randomly shuffle the inputted data and
create a simulated place based on the data inputted. The output would be one of many options. The random shuffle would be similar to how an iPod shuffles songs in a random order. In this work, ur-ban design was compared to a board game and demonstrated specifically through lego. The rules of the game are known, but how the game will play out is not known. An artificial place was constructed out of lego pieces by several different people that are one step removed from the urban design framework created by Hadasa.

Perkins+Will May 23, 2012
Menlo Park, a community of 31,000 south of San Francisco, has engaged
Perkins+Will to prepare a long-range Specific Plan for the city’s downtown and El Cami-no Real corridor. The Plan sets the vision for new mixed-use infill development, pub-lic spaces and circulation improvements that enhance downtown vibrancy and connections, intensifying development around the Caltrain commuter rail station. The planning pro-cess included three community workshops and multiple meetings with the Planning Commis-sion and City Council to develop a preferred plan for the area.
Hadasa provided support for this project and worked on revisions to the diagrams and drawings on this page.

URBAN DESIGN - STATION PARK GREEN, CALIFORNIA 2011, PERKINS+WILL
This 12-acre transit-oriented development includes hous-ing, office space, destination and boutique retail, a new park, and community facilities. Connected by a walkable
street grid, these uses frame a rich ensemble of public spaces. Perkins+Will developed the plans alongside the city staff and community of San Mateo through public workshops and meet-ings. The project advances green design principles from infra-structure and site planning to Perkins+Will’s initial building de-sign concepts. The project is one of the world’s first LEED-ND Gold projects at Stage 1.
Hadasa provided support for this project and worked on revi-sions to the conceptual diagrams below.

URBAN DESIGN KNOWLEDGE/RESEARCH MANAGER - URBAN DESIGN NEWSLETTERS
PERKINS+WILL
Design, populations and disseminated of by monthly internal urban design newslet-ters - These newsletters included internal
as well as external urban design news and activ-ity out in the world. The newsletters were de-signed to be interactive where each item can be clicked on for more information. The design of the newsletter took into account a busy audience and were limited to 3 pages enabling a quick scan of the topics. The choice of topics is a result of daily tracking of internal and external urban design knowledge. External news was scanned daily using Google Reader as well as an urban design Twitter account created by Hadasa for this purpose.

age input and a diversity of ideas for meeting content; putting to-gether the meeting agenda making sure to represent all urban de-sign leaders; traveling to various locations across North America to attend the meetings; taking the opportunity to present to the group, progress of her work as their knowledge manager; documenting and compiling the content of the entire meeting into an interac-
tive graphically pleasing and informative document; and sharing this document with urban designers and marketing staff firmwide. Below are images of the cover pages from the notes taken from three urban design leadership meetings. The full interactive documents can be provided upon request.
“Hadasa’s professionalism and organizational abilities helped to facilitate a higher functioning urban design leadership group. She brought an enthusiasm to her direct responsibilities that inspired
others. Additionally she sought out new challenges in order to con-tribute to the urban design discourse. Her positive outlook will cer-tainly be missed.” (Philip Palmgren, Principal at Perkins+will).
“Hadasa is incredibly thorough efficient and organized. She visual-izes and makes the connection between conceivably unrelated top-ics and people. This cross discipline thinking will definitely benefit your business.” (Heather Alhadeff, Senior Transportation Planner Perkins+Will) P

PLANNING - DISTINCTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM, CITY OF SAN JOSE
Leadership of the Distinctive Neighborhood Program at the City of San Jose - The goal of the Distinctive Neighborhood
Program was to provide further protection and enhancement to San Jose’s unique single-family neighborhoods. Hadasa was tasked with leading this program from inception through implementation. She conducted extensive out-reach to the San Jose community, presented at community and focus group meetings, developed and analyzed policy options, drafted code revisions, and wrote staff reports to and presented before the City Council.
“Hadasa demonstrates both creativity and strong organizational skills. This combina-tion of skills has been evident in her suc-cessful leadership of the Distinctive Neigh-borhood Program. With minimal guidance, she structured the process, established schedules, sought input from the community and the Landmarks Commission, developed policy options, prepared recommendations and made presentations to the City Council. Her successful leadership of this project has resulted in very positive feedback to the Planning Department” (Carol Hamilton, Senior Planner City of San Jose).
“Hands down great collaborator, energy, articulate and a reputation follow through to name a few. We worked on the Distinctive Neighborhood Program among others. ….. “(Councilmember Pierluigi Oliverio, City of San Jose).
“…….she exhibited excellent project man-agement skills ….and did an excellent job presenting at numerous community and stakeholder meetings…….and the full Coun-cil. The community and Council support for the development of the Distinctive Neigh-borhood Program to date is a testament to her creativity, drive and skill at incorporat-ing community input” (Akoni Danielsen, Principal Planner, City of San Jose).

PLANNING - DEVELOPMENT REVIEW, CITY OF SAN JOSE
Hadasa managed a large variety of project proposals in San Jose including large scale residential, mixed-use and Transit Oriented Development projects as well as a vari-
ety of commercial projects. She reviewed the projects for con-formance with City regulations and policies including conformance with The General Plan, The Zoning Ordinance, environmen-tal regulations, design guidelines, and various master/specific plans. She was often able to positively influence the design of projects and was often nominated as the Go To person regard-ing the design of project proposals. She took the initiative to found and lead the Architectural Forum which was a collabora-tive process where City employees with architectural background gathered twice a month to provide architectural review on de-velopment applications. Hadasa wrote staff reports to and pre-sented before the Planning Commission and City Council. She interacted with the public on a daily basis and organized and facilitated numerous community meetings.
This page contains a few sample projects from the hundreds of projects Hadasa managed in the 2.5 year period she did de-velopment review at the City of San Jose.

ARCHITECTURE - CONDOMINIUM RENOVATION, ISRAEL TEL-AVIV 2002
This project included a complete renova-tion of the interior space of a condominium in the heart of Tel-Aviv. Hadasa was hired
to design it from schematic design through con-struction including the design of the kitchen cabi-nets and bedroom closets. The client requested the space be designed with a clear separation between two rooms. The proposed design aimed at opening up a common area that could overlook the existing common courtyard. The interior walls were de-signed to “float” with walls connecting using colored or clear glass, giving the small area a sense of space.

ARCHITECTURE - This project was designed by Hadasa from schematic design through construction while completing her degree in architecture. This single-
family home is located at the end of a street overlooking a public park. The design aimed at strengthening the connection to the outdoors by creating a prominent patio space that enhances the building’s façade while creating a pleasant sheltered outdoor space. The three patio
beams (shown in pictures) connect the indoors to the outdoors and break up the long and narrow interior space.
