SW Ontario Urbanist: Mapping population change in Detroit by decade
http://swontariourbanist.blogspot.com/2015/08/mapping-population-change-in-detroit-by.html
Monday, 10 August 2015. Mapping population change in Detroit by decade. While I'm working on the next big post on 2000-2010 population change of urban cores, here's a post on population change in Detroit. Although Detroit has been experiencing population loss since 1950, it hasn't been occurring at the same rate each decade, and some neighbourhoods have lost more population since 1950 than others. The legend is the same as from the New York Times. The core was predominantly losing population while outlyi...

SW Ontario Urbanist: US MSAs urban vs suburban growth (2000-2010) - Part 4
http://swontariourbanist.blogspot.com/2015/07/us-msas-urban-vs-suburban-growth-2000_27.html
Monday, 27 July 2015. US MSAs urban vs suburban growth (2000-2010) - Part 4. In part 3 of this series. I looked at how much the urban cores of the biggest American metro areas grew between 2000 and 2010, with urban cores that were defined primarily by 1960 population densities. Partly to show how well this methodology matches up to what people would subjectively consider the urban cores, I posted images of what the boundaries were for the urban cores of the 10 biggest MSAs. Urban core net growth (ranking).

SW Ontario Urbanist: Detroit racial demographics changes in the 40s and 50s
http://swontariourbanist.blogspot.com/2015/08/detroit-racial-demographics-changes-in.html
Monday, 10 August 2015. Detroit racial demographics changes in the 40s and 50s. Earlier this year, I made a post. Showing census tracts in the Detroit area that experienced significant changes in their racial composition for each decade from the 1960s to the 2000s. Lets call this the "transitional zone". Getting data for the 40s and 50s was a bit more tedious, but I decided to get around to it since it's somewhat related to yesterday night's post. Here's the 1940s map. The map shows the black community i...

Caltrain HSR Compatibility Blog: The Tao of Timetables
http://caltrain-hsr.blogspot.com/2010/01/tao-of-timetables.html
Caltrain HSR Compatibility Blog. The passage of California Proposition 1A (2008) set in motion a complete reconstruction of the railroad between San Jose and San Francisco. This blog exists to discuss compatibility between HSR and Caltrain, integration issues, and the impact on adjoining communities. The Tao of Timetables. Especially to the dominant users. The only three things that will really matter for the future of Caltrain are service, service and service. Photo by Christophe Dune. Timetables are ad...

New York Regional Rail: the Central Segments | Pedestrian Observations
https://pedestrianobservations.wordpress.com/2014/12/25/new-york-regional-rail-the-central-segments
For Walkability and Good Transit, and Against Boondoggles and Pollution. New York Regional Rail: the Central Segments. I’ve written a lot of articles over the years about what should be done with regional rail in the New York area, focusing either on the overall shape of the system ( as on The. Or on specific aspects of the central links ( as. The Principles, Restated. The lynchpin of the plan is not the tunnels to Penn Station, which are already on the political radar in the form of the Gateway Project.

SW Ontario Urbanist: US MSAs urban vs suburban growth (2000-2010) - Part 5
http://swontariourbanist.blogspot.com/2015/08/us-msas-urban-vs-suburban-growth-2000.html
Sunday, 2 August 2015. US MSAs urban vs suburban growth (2000-2010) - Part 5. Continuing with the idea of defining urban cores based on 1960 densities, here's the next set of maps of what these cores look like, showing the urban cores that lost the most population (not including Chicago that was already shown in part 3). Had maps of the top 10 MSAs by population as well as a table with the stats for all the 1,000,000 MSAs. Had maps of other MSAs that experienced urban core growth. Again, the format is.

Fusing the TTC and GO into One System | HOGTOWN COMMONS
https://hogtowncommons.wordpress.com/2013/12/29/metrorail-moving-the-golden-horseshoe-forward
A city worth sharing. Fusing the TTC and GO into One System. December 29, 2013. Fantasy Map: Toronto’s transit network assuming the electrification of GO corridors and better integration between GO and the TTC. Imagine a network of speedy electric trains servicing every neighbourhood in the Golden Horseshoe. Traveling from Port Credit to the Danforth? Venturing from Unionville to Roncesvalles? Jonathan English, of the blog. Is trying to promote this vision with a revolutionary concept called CityRail.
