Measuring Residential Lot and Neighbourhood Changes in Hamilton, Ontario
This research contributes to literature documenting the changes in urban form observed in North America during the 20th Century. While numerous broadscale analyses of the differences between traditional urbanism, suburban sprawl and New Urbanism do exist, it seems that neighbourhood- and lot-scaled...

description | This research contributes to literature documenting the changes in urban form observed in North America during the 20th Century. While numerous broadscale analyses of the differences between traditional urbanism, suburban sprawl and New Urbanism do exist, it seems that neighbourhood- and lot-scaled empirical studies of changes in residential neighbourhood forms do not. This study therefore documents changes in several neighbourhood- and lot-scaled variables for five residential neighbourhoods in Hamilton, Ontario, each representative of a distinct period of construction, in an effort to quantify the differences amongst the primary development patterns. There are three key findings. First, individual building lot size and building setback variables demonstrate expected maximum values in the mid-Century, coincident with the beginning of the automobile dependent era. These have since decreased, likely in response to increasing land costs and other development constraints. Second, the period of construction for a given neighbourhood was found to be an important determinant of street pattern, normalized street length and residential density. And third, observations of several variables (including density) suggest there are substantive differences between residential neighbourhood forms found in Canada and the United States.
