Abstract

This thesis identifies alternative urban design strategies for commercial development along the Milford Parkway in Milford, Ohio. Characteristics of suburban sprawl are defined in specific attributes of the development designed along the Milford Parkway. Urban design principles based upon ecological and social considerations are established from current literature and applied to the Milford Parkway property to illustrate an alternative design process. This alternative process allows the Milford Parkway to become developed by commercial uses while maintaining qualities unique to the property and surrounding community. This enables the property to serve the regional users as well as the local community in a fashion more ecologically and socially responsible than sprawl. This thesis ultimately discusses necessary modifications to the current Milford Zoning Ordinance needed to achieve this alternative design approach.
