Imagine Austin Corridors

The Growth Concept Map assembles compact and walkable activity centers and corridors, as well as job centers, and coordinates them with future transportation improvements. These centers and corridors allow people to reside, work, shop, access services, people watch, recreate, and hang out without traveling far distances. Within them, the design and scale of buildings and the design and availability of parks and gathering spaces will welcome people of all ages and abilities. They will be walkable, bikable, and connected to one another, the rest of the city, and the region by roads, transit, bicycle routes and lanes, and trails. The activity centers and corridors included on this map identify locations for additional people and jobs above what currently exists on the ground. Unlike more detailed small-area plan maps, the Growth Concept Map provides broad direction for future growth and is not parcel specific. Centers that are already established by existing small-area plans, such as those for East Riverside Drive or Highland Mall, are drawn to reflect those plans. Centers without small-area plans are simply shown with a circle, indicating scale and general location. Specifying boundaries for these centers may occur through small-area plans or general guidelines for implementing this plan.

增长概念图集汇聚了紧凑且宜人的活动中心和走廊，以及就业中心，并与未来的交通改进相协调。这些中心和走廊使得人们能够在不远距离的情况下居住、工作、购物、获取服务、观赏人群、休闲娱乐。在其内部，建筑的设计与规模以及公园和集会空间的设计与可用性将欢迎各个年龄段和能力的民众。这些空间将步行友好、骑行友好，并通过道路、公共交通、自行车路线和车道以及步道相互连接，并与城市的其他部分和区域相连。该图集上所包括的活动中心和走廊确定了除现有地面设施之外，额外人口和就业岗位的地点。与更为详细的局部区域规划图相比，增长概念图提供了对未来发展的宏观指导，并不针对具体地块。那些由现有局部区域规划已确立的中心，如东河滨大道或高地购物中心，均按规划绘制。尚未制定局部区域规划的中心则简单地以圆圈表示，以指示规模和大致位置。这些中心的边界可通过局部区域规划或实施此计划的通用指南来指定。
