This is the first of a series of analysis that I want to conduct of different areas of the city. Here I've analyzed the North Shore in Relation to downtown. From it you can see the difference in atmosphere between the two areas. The North Shore is a large-scale entertainment area. It consists only of big block programs and parking to go with it. Downtown on the other hand, is well connected, and operates at a smaller scale. There is more activity everywhere, and less concentration at certain points. It is incumbent upon me to mention also that time of day is an important factor that is not represented in this analysis. For most of the year, the North shore sits empty coming to life only when the steelers are playing or the Pirates are in PNC park.
The North Shore is a large concrete Slab with Objects (the stadiums + the science center scattered around it). The shore operates at the scale of the CAR and the MOB not at a human, everyday scale. Is there room for mediating the two conditions?
