Item Evaluating mixed use developments : successes, failures, and recommendations for future developments(2011-05) Livingston, Ashley Lynn Hvolbeck; Butler, Kent S.; Zhang, MingThis paper seeks to develop an understanding of the conceptualization and development processes of two mixed-use developments in the Austin, Texas area: Midtown Commons, a transit-oriented development, and Cedar Park Town Center, a proposed New Urbanist style town center. Following a critical analysis of the pertinent literature that defines and contextualizes mixed-use, the author explores the history and background of each case study. Each case study is then evaluated and scored on a series of criteria to determine how successful each project has been, and what barriers each project faced in the development process. The paper ends with the author‘s conclusions and recommendations for future mixed-use projects in Austin.Item From vision to reality : a case study evaluating the private-public development process(2011-05) Stanley, John Paul, 1987-; Kahn, Terry D.; Butler, Kent S.Understanding the nature of private-public interaction within a development process provides crucial insight into the workings of a new development from the initial vision all the way to post-construction property management. The private and public sectors must work together as partners in the development process, understanding the goals of one another while remaining flexible in their own decision making in order to create a development that best meets the vision of both parties. By studying Cedar Park Town Center and Midtown Commons, located in Cedar Park, Texas and Austin, Texas, respectively, we can grow a greater understanding of how the private-public interaction involved in these cases affected two pioneering mixed-use projects in Central Texas. Utilizing personal interviews as well as documentation from both public and private sources, detailed information was gathered regarding the process and interaction used by private and public parties in both developments.
