Visioning Guidelines for Aurora

Aurora, Illinois

The masterplan organizes downtown Aurora into an "urban-ecosystem:" communities of people, programs and organisms together with their attendant environments function collectively as an interactive and sustainable whole: pathways are proposed between the Fox River and new adjacent live/work/play developments; barriers are loosened between uniform uses of land; separations are strengthened between Aurora's private and public spheres; high density transit oriented developments are designed adjacent to existing railway lines; and, new programmed landscapes are cultivated to revitalize and sustain Fox River ecotones.
