Award-Winning Design Visions for Milpitas
Students in a city and regional planning studio course created award-winning land use and urban design proposals for two sites in the city of Milpitas, California. Praised for innovation, creativity and feasibility, the plans blended historical and existing structures in Milpitas with the city's multicultural population and added elements of walkability and commerce yielding a youthful design that is attractive to young professionals and families alike. This case study illustrates how students' on-the-ground work helped solidify theoretical planning concepts learned in other classes.
