Regional Growth Strategy

Description

This was a project by Jessica Garrow for the CRP Internship award competition, Spring 2006. Student projects on affordable housing, neighborhood (re)development, environmental preservation, transportation, and other topics were displayed in the Banvard Gallery at the Knowlton School of Architecture on May 29 through June 9, 2006. As regions continue to develop, different employment and economic sectors become more or less vital to the region's economic success. This project focused on determining the impact of the transportation sector on the development pattern and economic success in central-Ohio. The transportation sector analysis was conducted as part of a larger project for the central-Ohio Regional Growth Strategy to determine which sectors create the most economic impact in the region. The analysis, conducted at the county, regional, and state levels, revealed the transportation sector itself did not significantly contribute to the region's economic success, but when analyzed with other complimentary sectors, including manufacturing, the impact to the region's economy is significant. - Jessica Garrow This work is a part of the online collections of the Knowlton School of Architecture Student Archives, The Ohio State University.
