    Urban Design and Development “Preserve and build on Downtown’s urban character.” Summary 19 Challenges 20-21 Guiding Principles 22 Strategies and Implementation 23-39 18 Summary Downtown Champaign, like most other downtowns throughout the United States, has undergone drastic changes over the past 50 years. A sudden loss of retail and increased dependency on automobiles led downtown to rethink its approach to doing business by providing a suburban-like experience. As a result, a number of city blocks were razed to make way for additional parking, only to see businesses fl ee to suburban shopping malls and strip centers. Over 60 buildings were lost and only a handful replaced since 1960. The map to the right shows the progressive demolition of downtown buildings (red) and the infi ll projects (yellow) that have been created. Infi ll projects have fallen short of repairing the urban fabric downtown and some times has resembled suburban developments, and not the dense urban structures that once stood in their place. The goal of this plan is to “preserve and build on downtown’s urban character”. This means This historic aerial shows the loss of downtown structures over the past 50 years. The red represents buildings lost to demolition encouraging not only renovations of existing and the yellow indicates locations of infi ll projects. Downtown once boasted signifi cant density structures but the construction of new buildings and urban form. Much of this was lost with the that refl ect urban design principles. demolition of over sixty structures between 1950 and today. See map to the right.
