Land Use Alternatives
This was the land use alternatives process that helped us get to a preferred alternative.
What are land use alternatives? Land use alternatives test different land use and urban design patterns, help us understand the trade-offs between the alternatives, help us make informed choices about the future, and pivot towards the policies and implementation mechanisms needed to make these happen. We tested these six big ideas in the alternatives.

¿Cuáles son las alternativas de uso de la tierra? Las alternativas de uso del suelo prueban diferentes patrones de uso del suelo y diseño urbano, nos ayudan a comprender las compensaciones entre las alternativas, nos ayudan a tomar decisiones informadas sobre el futuro y a orientarnos hacia las políticas y los mecanismos de implementación necesarios para que esto suceda. Probamos estas seis grandes ideas en las alternativas.
