The North Central Street Corridor was once the home to a vibrant streetcar line that provided transportation to several of the first streetcar suburbs in Knoxville. The once lively thoroughfare has since declined due to the pressures of the modern developing city including sprawl, suburbanization, and the rise in popularity of the automobile. This thesis seeks to explore the late nineteenth and early twentieth century urbanization patterns, evaluating their form, scale, and massing. Pairing these observations with principles of neotraditional design, design-based zoning code will be applied to guide the revitalization of the urban corridor. The resulting proposal for the redevelopment of the corridor will utilize form-based codes to direct the restructuring of form and character. By means of restoring urban form through form-based codes, this thesis will show that the North Central Street corridor has a unique opportunity for redevelopment.
