An Historical Description And Analysis Of Lincoln, Nebraska’S Development Pattern: 1860-1985 Concentric Growth – A Fading Dream, Leonard Pavelka

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

Three successive comprehensive plans for the city of Lincoln, Nebraska have advocated concentric growth as a goal.This thesis analyses Lincoln’s physical and economic development and finds that many elements that played a major role in the city’s growth strongly influenced residential expansion in two directions – east and south. Further investigation revealed that Lincoln’s comprehensive plans have weakened the central business district and strengthened the Gateway-East Park retail complex in east Lincoln.This thesis demonstrates that both historical tendency and the process of incremental policy making employed by the City Council make realization of the goal of concentric growth improbable.

Helping Communities Determine Development, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"The word uppermost in the minds of many communities these days is 'development,' a process that manifests itself on the land in the form of the built environment. Alarmed at the speed with which land is being used--and often abused--communities are being faced with touch decisions on how to cope with development, either by directing it, managing it or even stopping it."

Harlem On My Mind, Shawn L. Rickenbacker

Architecture Senior Theses

Architecture Senior Theses

"The thesis proposal is the design of a master plan for Syracuse UNiversity. The S.U. Campus was my vehicle to experiement and apply the ideas and principles derived from my previous historical research and urban analysis: The subject of these two, in fact, has been the American College Campus, not only as a type of Architecture Planning, but also as a reflection of the american educational system."

De La Manipulación De La Esperanza A La Gestión Del Fracasao: La Triste Historia Del Plan Techo, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Los últimos censos realizados en 1982 nos revelan la incontrastable situaci6n de que la magnitud del déficit de vivienda existente en el país bordea el mill6n de unidades y el aditamento nada optimista de que este crece anualmente en sesenta y cinco mil viviendas. Sin duda que esta magnitud del déficit de vivienda es uno de los rasgos más visibles del "problema o penuria de la vivienda" en el que están involucrados, como se señala, amplias capas de población. Esta en relación con las características de distribución territorial de la población, con las condiciones de apropiación de la riqueza social, …

A Proposal To Foster Civic Leadership And Participation In Knoxville, Madeline A. Rogero

Masters Theses

The ineffectiveness of leadership and a low level of citizen participation in public affairs in Knoxville prompted this study. Research showed that Knoxville's leaders are dissatisfied with their own ineffectiveness and there are few opportunities for citizens to participate in the decision-making process for major community issues.

Based on a contemporary theory of leadership, this thesis suggests that the ineffectiveness of leadership reflects an ineffectiveness of followership. Leaders and citizens must engage in an interactive process in order to achieve a mutual empowerment and to build a tradition of civic leadership. This thesis proposes that such an interactive process could …

Conserving Nantucket, Steve Sheppard

Bridgewater Review

The pristine qualities that make Nantucket a distinct place, and somewhere “far away,” both geographically and philosophically, also make it a refuge, an attractive haven and resort with less traffic, pollution and people than the mainland thirty miles away. Nantucket’s popularity is beginning to catch up with her. No longer just a summer place, Nantucket is now an active year-round community, with a tourist season that stretches from late April until well past Columbus Day. The most visible manifestation of Nantucket’s increased popularity is a building boom that is fast chewing up the island's open spaces and threatening its rural …

La Política Urbana Del Municipio De Quito, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

El actual proceso de transformación de Quito, que finalmente desemboca en una nueva forma de organización territorial: la metropolitana (ar. Carrión, F., 1984c), se origina, históricamente, en la coyuntura petrolera de los años setenta, cuando el Estado y las fuerzas sociales involucradas logran consolidarse; lo que posibilita sobre todo al Municipio, emprender una política urbana concertada a través de sus instrumentos fundamentales: la generación de "capital físico", la realización de planes urbanos y la gestión económico-financiera.

Teóricamente, el municipio ecuatoriano forma parte de la base más descentralizada de la administración pública nacional (Avila, 1973), subordinado al orden político constitucional, con …

La Urbanización Ecuatoriana, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Con este trabajo pretendemos realizar un recorrido breve y somero de la historia urbana de nuestro país, desde la conquista y la colonización española hasta nuestros días. Lo hacemos a partir de la colonización española porque consideramos que ella marca el inicio de la separación, por oposición, de la ciudad con el campo. Una oposición que surge desde la ciudad y con predominio sobre el campo; cuestión que permite, desde este momento, el análisis particularizado de la ciudad. Y lo hacemos hasta nuestros días por cuanto nos permite, aunque a grosso modo, tener una visión global del proceso histórico.
