Transit oriented regions : past and present thoughts on regionalism

As society finds it itself on the brink of new social, economic and political upheavals,
a reconsideration of the make-up of regions is necessary. From time to time, these
changes manifest as migrations from one line of thought to another. Moreover, these
changes were predicted and observed by notable historic figures in planning and
regional theory. It is the intent of this report is to note and link the connections
between historic figureheads and contemporary proponents of regional form and its
interconnectedness to transportation infrastructure. This report goes on to provide
examples of barriers to modern implementation of regional transit-oriented
development and also to provide case studies where positive interaction between local
governments has resulted in regional forms and transportation networks that embody
new solutions in a changing socio-economic and environmental constructs. / text
