SCC-Planning: Urbanism Next Network Planning Grant

自动驾驶汽车（AVs）是不久的将来的现实，自动驾驶汽车对城市发展和城市形态的影响，虽然可能广泛而巨大，但尚未得到很好的理解。交通便利度和成本、交通的作用和未来、停车使用和路权需求等方面的预计变化将对街道设计、开发密度、土地使用和城市扩张产生巨大的次生影响。这些变化将对我们国家产生深远的影响。虽然有大量关于自动驾驶汽车技术方面的研究，但缺乏对其对城市发展、形式和设计的二次影响或潜在机会和对生活质量的意外后果（包括重大的公平和劳动力市场影响）的系统探索。自动驾驶汽车的引入对城市发展以及相关的经济、社会和环境问题造成的破坏，有可能与一个世纪前引入汽车所造成的破坏不相上下。urban - ism Next Planning Grant将利用来自学术界、公共部门和私营部门的多学科专家来定义和理解自动驾驶汽车的兴起将如何广泛地影响城市，而不仅仅是技术需求或主要交通影响。该计划将汇集来自工程，城市设计，城市规划，经济学，房地产，劳动经济学和建筑学的合作者，以促进我们对自动驾驶汽车对社会的影响的理解，并促进国家健康，繁荣和福祉。在整个资助过程中，研究团队将与来自各个学科的广泛的全国学者社区以及俄勒冈州波特兰地区的多元化，多部门的从业人员团体进行接触。策划活动包括每月网络会议；创建有针对性的博客和基于网络的信息交换中心；并与来自全国各地的合作者和利益相关者进行为期两天的研讨会。我们的目标是理解、进行研究，然后为以下目标制定计划：1)技术的即时性；2)技术创新的影响规模；3)识别各种各样的问题是如何相互联系和影响的；4)描述我们需要提出的与城市设计和市政管理相关的重要政策和研究问题，以最大限度地发挥这项新技术的效益，同时最大限度地减少负面外部性。

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are a near future reality and the implications of AVs on city development and urban form, while potentially widespread and dramatic, are not well understood. Projected changes to the ease and cost of transportation, the role and future of transit, parking use, and right-of-way needs will have dramatic secondary effects on street design, development densities, land use, and urban sprawl. These changes will have profound implications on our nation. While there has been a deluge of research on technological aspects of AVs, there has been a dearth of systematic exploration of their secondary effects on city development, form, and design or potential opportunities and unintended consequences on quality of life, including significant equity and labor market impacts. The disruption to urban development and related economic, social, and environmental issues caused by the introduction of AVs has the potential to be on par with the disruptions caused by the introduction of automobiles a century ago. This Urbanism Next Planning Grant will leverage a multidisciplinary collection of national experts in the academic, public, and private sectors to define and understand how the rise of AVs will broadly impact cities beyond just technological needs or primary transportation implications. This Planning Grant will bring together collaborators from engineering, urban design, urban planning, economics, real estate, labor economics, and architecture to promote our understanding of impacts of AVs on society and advance the national health, prosperity and well-being.Throughout the course of the grant, the research team will engage a broad national community of scholars from a range of disciplines, as well as a diverse, multi-sector group of practitioners in the Portland, Oregon region. Planning activities include monthly web-based meetings; creation of a targeted blog and web-based clearinghouse; and a two-day workshop with collaborators and stakeholders from across the country. The goal is to understand, conduct research, and then plan for: 1) the immediacy of the technology; 2) the scale of impact from these technological innovations; 3) identification of how a diverse range of issues are connected and impacted; and 4) to delineate the important policy and research questions we need to be asking related to city design and municipal administration to maximize the benefits of this new technology while minimizing the negative externalities.
