Energy In The Ecopolis, Sara Bronin
Energy In The Ecopolis, Sara Bronin
Sara C. Bronin
Climate change, resource scarcity, and environmental degradation demand a paradigm shift in urban development. Currently, too many of our cities exacerbate these problems: they pollute, consume, and process resources in ways that negatively impact our natural world. Cities of the future must make nature their model, instituting circular metabolic processes that mimic, embrace, and enhance nature. In other words, a city must be a regenerative city or, as some say, an “ecopolis.” So, how to get there—to ecopolis—from here? In this Comment, I propose a partial answer by focusing on certain legal frameworks that must be reenvisioned to enable the …
Using Urban Agriculture To Grow Southern New England, Sara Bronin
Using Urban Agriculture To Grow Southern New England, Sara Bronin
Sara C. Bronin
Southern New England has recently seen significant developments in urban agriculture, including the implementation of Boston’s urban ag ordinance in December 2013; the creation of Hartford’s urban ag ordinance in April 2015; and Providence’s robust urban ag initiative, “Lots of Hope.” Urban ag is being used to create and enhance a sense of community, to support and celebrate diversity by allowing immigrant populations to grow culturally appropriate foods for consumption or sale, and to increase food security. It is also an avenue for potential economic growth.
Historic Preservation Law In A Nutshell, Sara Bronin, Ryan Rowberry
Historic Preservation Law In A Nutshell, Sara Bronin, Ryan Rowberry
Sara C. Bronin
The purpose of this book is to provide a concise, coherent reference for the emerging field of historic preservation law for lawyers, policymakers, planners, architects, and students alike. We consider preservation law to be “emerging” because it began to fully develop in the United States only in the last fifty years. Two key transition points happened at the federal level: the 1966 passage of the National Historic Preservation Act and the 1978 Penn Central Supreme Court decision, which upheld a landmarks law against a constitutional challenge and consequently encouraged other localities to adopt similar ordinances. (Of course, this book covers …
Historic Preservation Law, Sara Bronin, J Byrne
Historic Preservation Law, Sara Bronin, J Byrne
Sara C. Bronin
This book was written for anyone interested in the increasingly important area of historic preservation law. With this book, we hope to advance and encourage the teaching of preservation law, shape the way the field is conceived, and create a practical resource that will be consulted by attorneys and other preservation professionals. Our approach to the subject is reasonably straightforward. We present the most significant legal issues in preservation and place them in a contemporary context, identifying contested questions and areas of reform. The format of the book is traditional: edited leading cases with notes that provide explanation, extension, and …
Rehabilitating Rehab Through State Building Codes, Sara C. Bronin
Rehabilitating Rehab Through State Building Codes, Sara C. Bronin
Sara C. Bronin
Building codes are not neutral documents. Traditional codes have the effect of deterring the rehabilitation of older structures. But rehabilitation - which can have many positive effects, especially on cities - should be encouraged, not deterred. One promising method of encouraging rehabilitation has been the adoption of rehabilitation codes: building codes that establish flexible but clear requirements for renovators. After analyzing traditional building codes and three different rehabilitation codes, this Note concludes that more states should adopt rehabilitation codes on a mandatory basis.
