The Impact of the Emerging Latino Demographic Median age of White population in Arizona: 40
Median Latino population: 24 – These are the home buyers of the next 30 years.
Survey data indicates different housing preferences for this market.– Inclusion of elderly family members in household.– Access to public transportation and nearby shopping a
priority– ‘Country-club lifestyle’ not as attractive– Less resistance to attached housing
The emergence of Latino home buyers will change the urban form of the Sun Corridor.

Dallas-Fort Worth = centralized model– Less complex, for passengers, industry– Better control of environmental issues – Requires authority
Los Angeles = reliever system– Redundancy– Complex airspace, connection, access– Shares economic burden, boom
Recent trends PHX = LAX
Is the Sun Corridor DFW or LAX?
![Page 63: The Sun Corridor Seminar: PAF 591, Spring 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56815005550346895dbdd72d/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
MAG, ADOT and others pushing for it Lack of connection between north, south,
Mid Increasing population pressure from Mid Commuter rail vs. light rail: access from
both north, south and Mid
And will rail be included?
![Page 64: The Sun Corridor Seminar: PAF 591, Spring 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56815005550346895dbdd72d/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Freeways/Highways:– Congestion—Central Corridor– Tucson must build highways– Need for increased planning between realms– Revenue challenge
Aviation– Current population imbalance drives reliever system,
LAX style– Southward population shift may demand regional
airport in Mid-Corridor– Regional airport, population pressure may push rail
effort

General Sun Corridor Key Policy Implications The Sun Corridor is the Fastest Growing
Megapolitan—Especially The West Valley The Sun Corridor’s Interstate Network is Designed
for Inter not Intra-Metropolitan Trips Megapolitan-Level Policies for Transportation,
Environmental Pres. and Economic Development Plan for Urban Realms—Each Realm Needs
Some Measure of Autonomy But Realms also Need More Effective Integration
and Coordination

Specific Urban Realm Key Policy Implications Core Realms
– Infill and Redevelopment Favored Quarter Realms
– Job/Housing Balance and Affordable Housing Maturing Suburbs Realms
– Create Mixed Use Centers Emerging Exurban Realms
– Open Space Preservation
