Winning Entry
Housing the Next 10 Million Competition

Project: California’s Central Valley is projected to grow by 10 million people in the next 40 years. This projected growth puts the region’s agricultural economy and the character at risk. This proposal demonstrates how growth can be accommodated in a manner that enhances the character of the existing community, provides compact growth patterns that protect the valuable agricultural land and recommends pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods as the framework for growth.

Program: Our proposal used Modesto as a case study for growth. The proposal included the following:

• A set of principles that could be used by any community to help direct their vision
• Analysis of Modesto’s growth patterns
• A comprehensive city plan in coordination with small adjoining towns
• Street Design Standards
• Application of the neighborhood structure on a 800-acre greenfield site
• Building-type based regulating system

Sponsor: The Great Valley Center
