Abstract
This thesis explores the paths forward at the intersection of economic development, public space, and parking. Using OpenStreetMap data and American Community Survey estimates, this project uses GIS analysis to develop a typology of contemporary NFL stadium developments. Using illustrative case studies informed by this analysis, site visits, and pre-existing literature, the thesis evaluates the tradeoffs presented by various approaches to stadium development. Rather than recommend a single path forward, this thesis provides suggestions for working within the constraints of local landscapes to develop strategies to best support the public good in each context.
