  5. Area – Roundtable IBegin looking at the Mid-Atlantic as Regions This is where we started

  6. Super-Region Label - Issue Areas • Multi-State Transportation Corridors - 9/340/I-81/270/I-95/ • Hazard mitigation • Metro Evacuation • Homeland Security • Air Quality  • Water - ground and surface (ICPRB) • Vision/Scenario/Alternatives (from a local region process related to those in other regions)  • Infrastructure • Broadband • Regional Policy • No new bypasses in metro region puts more pressure on existing roads. • Freight & Multi-modal/multi-state freight/rail and ports • Labor chain - everyone imports labor from outside their region - no surplus of labor even at the fringes

  10. Roundtable 4 – Fredericksburg- November, 2007 • Regional and Intergovernmental Planning Division, American Planning Association and State Chapters work with Regional Councils for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning Roundtable as a model for the U.S. • Regional level recognized as a level or coordination needed for smart growth with the participation of Governor Parris Glendenning. • Mid-Atlantic Regional planning analysis prepared with region coding I developed.

  11. % change – provides a different picture.

  12. 2005 Population density by region.

  13. Loss of countryside – viewshed? Region land area less Federal and State Lands – including Urban Areas

  14. Overall density in 2005 drops when Urban areas pulled out – with time series we could see better the sprawls as build out occurs.

  15. Consider Regional Councils as a Unit of Analytical Geography • This could be extended to the U.S. to enable comparative multi-county regional analysis over time on standard regional geography. • It can adapt to many levels of multi-jurisdictional planning.
