A Mid-Atlantic Overview – The Roundtable Process
States, Major Cities & Connecting Highways
Traditional Mid-Atlantic Map
New View – States, County & Multi-County Regions
Roundtable I – October 21, 2005 - Middletown,
Virginia - Northern Shenandoah Valley
• Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission response to Wash COG 2030 projections– Impacts perceived of continued growth– Strong impact since 9/11– Region may not want to continue to supply labor and
be affordable housing solution– Other outlying regions interested in the conversation– Why were we concerned about the Mid-Atlantic?
Area – Roundtable IBegin looking at the Mid-Atlantic as Regions
This is where we started
Super-Region Label - Issue Areas • Multi-State Transportation Corridors - 9/340/I-81/270/I-95/• Hazard mitigation • Metro Evacuation• Homeland Security• Air Quality • Water - ground and surface (ICPRB)• Vision/Scenario/Alternatives (from a local region process related to
those in other regions) • Infrastructure • Broadband • Regional Policy • No new bypasses in metro region puts more pressure on existing
roads.• Freight & Multi-modal/multi-state freight/rail and ports • Labor chain - everyone imports labor from outside their region - no
surplus of labor even at the fringes

Roundtable 4 – Fredericksburg- November, 2007
• Regional and Intergovernmental Planning Division, American Planning Association and State Chapters work with Regional Councils for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning Roundtable as a model for the U.S.
• Regional level recognized as a level or coordination needed for smart growth with the participation of Governor Parris Glendenning.
• Mid-Atlantic Regional planning analysis prepared with region coding I developed.
% change – provides a different picture.
2005 Population density by region.
Loss of countryside – viewshed? Region land area less Federal and State Lands – including Urban Areas
Overall density in 2005 drops when Urban areas pulled out – with time series we could see better the sprawls as build out occurs.
Consider Regional Councils as a Unit of Analytical Geography
• This could be extended to the U.S. to enable comparative multi-county regional analysis over time on standard regional geography.
• It can adapt to many levels of multi-jurisdictional planning.
