Department:
City and Regional Planning, Associate Professor
Research Interests:
Frederick Collignon's most recent research has included the following: analyses documenting a huge shortage of urban recreational space in most U.S. cities due to increasing recreational activity of women and the loss of active recreational space to development and passive recreational parkland; a comparative study of the metropolitan planning activity by states in Australia; analysis via comparative study of cities in Europe, Australia and the U.S. of the use of hallmark events (such as the Olympics or Worlds' Fairs) for urban redevelopment; and an examination of the reasons behind the increasing financial dependence on public assistance of those with disability, especially the young.

Center for Environmental Design Research (CEDR)
Description:
The Center for Environmental Design Research is an Organized Research Unit of the University of California at Berkeley. Located in the College of Environmental Design, the Center assists the research of faculty, students, and others interested in the design and planning of the built environment. The Center's mission is to encourage research in environmental planning and design, in order to increase the factual content of design decisions and to promote systematic approaches to design decision-making. The scope of our research ranges from local human environments to regional ecosystems, from details of building construction to large-scale urban planning, and from the history of the built environment to the design process itself.
