Thesis: M.C.P., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Urban Studies and Planning, 2015. / Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. / Includes bibliographical references (pages 60-64). / The thesis explores the planning history of the Trinity River in Dallas, Texas. It examines the dramatic physical changes that have occurred in a particular area of the river adjacent to downtown, referred to as the Trinity Banks District (TBD), between the years 1840 and 2015. The thesis explores how the TBD has occupied a place of the "frontier" in the minds of Dallasites for over 175 years. The thesis finds that the visions and physical form of the TBD during these years derive from a collectively held urban myth-the frontier as a "tabula rasa." This myth repeatedly allows city builders to accept visions for the Trinity River that are untethered to reality of the alluvial river. The thesis argues that urban planning in the TBD repeats a cycle, which begins with the collectively held myth of the frontier; the creation of physical plans by outside experts; incomplete implementation of those plans; physical stagnation of the TBD; and finally, a remythicizing and re-visioning among civic elite. In light of the most recent controversy regarding the Trinity River Toll Road through the TBD, the thesis concludes that both the myth and this cycle persist in planning the Trinity Banks District in the contemporary era. Research was carried out at the Dallas Public Library History and Archives Division and interviews were conducted with stewards of the Trinity River, city planners, architects, and urban designers. / by Callahan P Seltzer. / M.C.P.

Esta pesquisa tem como objeto o estudo da dinâmica interna dos territórios periféricos pela análise da micromobilidade relacionada à implantação de infraestrutura de transporte de âmbito regional. O trabalho pretende demonstrar as qualidades das redes e malhas de micromobilidade como fonte informativa das dinâmicas socioespaciais contidas no território informal e como componente de qualifi cação urbana, trazendo para o projeto metropolitano dados cruciais sobre o seu funcionamento interno e as potencialidades de articulação com as escalas de mobilidade maiores. Ao considerar a malha de mobilidade como rede espacial, com densidade própria e capacidade de impregnação no território, nos interessa vislumbrá-la como ferramenta física de composição urbana, capaz tanto de dar acesso e de gerar polaridade, de construir as redes de proximidade, e de fomentar o sentimento de identidade pelos seus usuários. A pesquisa aborda aspectos contemporâneos das transformações na periferia metropolitana no contexto do distrito do Jardim Ângela em São Paulo ao identifi car as especifi cidades próprias deste local em diferentes escalas. / The research studies the internal dynamics of suburban territories through the analysis of micromobility related to the implementation of regional transport infrastructure. This paper aims at demonstrating the values of micromobility networks as an informative source of the sociospatial dynamics contained in the informal territory and as a component of urban qualifi cation. These networks bring crucial data to the metropolitan planning about its internal functioning and the potentialities of articulation with larger scales of mobility. Mobility as a spatial network, with its own density and impregnation capacity in the territory, becomes a physical tool of urban composition, giving access and generating polarity to build proximity networks and to foster the sense of identity by its users. The research deals with contemporary aspects of the ongoing transformations in suburban district Jardim Ângela in São Paulo, identifying the specifi c characteristics of this area at diff erent scales.
