Target Market and Demographics

This research aims to gain insights into the broader market of the cities around new Cromwell in order to respond to the need of the users of the information and tourist centre adequately.

My target audience for this project are the tourists in Connecticut as well as the tourists from nearby states which are Massachusetts in the north, Rhode Island in the east and New York in the west.
 

New Crowell Population

The graph above shows the age demographic of new Cromwell. The graph shows a relative young population which can mean that most of the population might travel a lot.

New York city is one of the most visited cities of the united state which can mean some visitors might end up travelling in the state around and for that researching the tourism demographic of the state is important to satisfy the target audience of the tourist centre. In 2019, most of the people who visited New York City were on vacation, making up 80% of the total visitors. At the same time, 80% of the visitors were from within the country (DiNapoli and Jain, 2021).

Total visitors to New York City

In 2020, over half of all trips in the Massachusetts started in New England, with most people visiting friends and relatives. Most travelers used personal cars, and nearly half of those staying overnight in Massachusetts chose hotels or motels. In 2020, Massachusetts had 26.2 million domestic visitors and 2.4 million international visitors in 2019 (Massachusetts , 2020).

On the other hand, The state of Rhode Island reported a growth of 5.4% in 2022. Visitors spent 17% more in Rhode Island than in 2021, reaching a total of $5.3 billion and creating $7.9 billion in traveler-related spending. This increase in spending helped maintain 84,386 jobs, with one out of every eight jobs in Rhode Island being supported by visitor activity (Rhode Island, 2024).

    Ok, good research plenty of information - how are you using this research in your project? How does it impact what you are designing? For example, you note that people tend to travel by car. Therefore, do you need to increase the size of your car park? Should road access be improved on to your site? How can you do this?

Multi-faith centres and religious spaces

Multi-faith  centres are inclusive spaces that encourage dialogue, understanding, and collaboration among people from various religious backgrounds. They   provides a space where people of differing religious beliefs can spend time in contemplation or prayer  (Center for Architecture, 2023) .  These spaces promote diversity and unity through shared values and interfaith harmony. They provide a neutral setting for worship, dialogue, and community-building, contributing to inclusivity. The significance of these centres in promoting inclusivity and diversity lies in their celebration of diverse religious traditions and encouragement of interaction among different faiths. They also foster open dialogue to break down cultural and religious barriers through shared spaces and activities, as well as promote the idea that diversity is an asset by providing a space where all faiths are respected  (KAICIID, 2020).  Understanding diverse cultural and rel...

Final major project: Form and function

       The primary function of my project is to allow children to have a good time outside in a safe and sustainable place. Creating spaces that are in harmony with the environment, using eco-friendly materials, and promoting practices that help preserve our natural resources  Sustainable Playground I am creating this playground because in my city (Kitwe, Zambia) we have plenty of parks but people do not use them as they are not user-friendly and as a result they are not safe or maintained. The playground is located near city centre, where the vegetation is dense and will allow the users to have fresh air. Having a sustainable playground in Kitwe will allow the children of the community to engage together in a safe environment.          Reference         s.c, C.I.-S.
