Urban Stadium, Eric Moss

Architecture Senior Theses

Certain major urban elements have been pished into suburban environments to the detriment of cities. The thesis proposed that through investigating the implications of reinserting such a building into the urban condition, it can be demonstrated that both the city and the facility will benefit. The vehicle is the design of a public building which must mediate between its needs and its urban conditions. The project therefore should have a program which has specific requirements and the site should have a strong urban dynamic.

Some Uses And Potentials Of Qualitative Methods In Planning, Hemalata C. Dandekar

City and Regional Planning

Planners use methods borrowed from many disciplines. These are usually modified and adapted to meet planner's needs to acquire and sift through many diverse information sources helpful in dealing with complex problems. The quantitative methods which planners use are well known, well established in practice, and acknowledged by most as tools of the planners' trade. In contrast to this, most planners also use qualitative methods but these are rarely explicitly acknowledged. In this paper some of the qualitative methods used in planning are identified and categorized into three groups according to the special contribution that they make to the practice …

La Política Del Municipio De Quito, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

En la década de los años sesenta, con la modernización capitalista de la sociedad nacional, el eje de la acumulación tiende a trasladarse a las ciudades. De esta manera, el proceso de urbanización se acelera significativamente, sobre todo como consecuencia del paso de las formas de acumulación semicoloniales o primario exportadoras a las nuevas de susurbano-industrial, que tienen como base al hecho de que la plusvalía extraída de los sectores minero y agrícola, que anteriormente fluía los centros metropolitanos, comienza a ser acumulada localmente a través del desarrollo, aunque incipiente, de la industria, la banca, el comercio, etcétera (Quijano: 1974) …

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

Fernando Carrión Mena

La magnitud que ha adquirido el problema de la vivienda en el Ecuador es de reciente data, a pesar de que sus raíces tengan una vigencia temporal mucho más remota. La penuria se agudiza ostensiblemente desde la década de los años sesenta en el marco de la modernización capitalista que vive el país. En este contexto vemos desarrollar un proceso sostenido de acumulación capitalista en el sector de la construcción, atribuible principalmente a que la captación de gran parte del ahorro nacional comienza a dirigirse hacía el sistema mutualista en formación; a que se produce una transformación y/o alianza de …

Infrastructure Planning In Rural Massachusetts, John R. Mullin, Jeanne H. Armstrong, Meir Gross, Robert D. Yaro

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series

This paper describes the importance of understanding and dealing with the problems of infrastructure planning and maintenance in rural communities. Infrastructure is defined to include roads, bridges, water and wastewater collection and treatment systems, and public buildings and capital equipment. The authors base their findings primarily on the experience of communities in Massachusetts, but these findings are readily applied to the situation of rural communities elsewhere in the U.S.A. and other developed countries. Three major conclusions are presented in the paper: the need for rural communities to develop long-range plans for infrastructure maintenance and finance; the need to develop effective …

From Mill Town To Mill Town: The Transition Of A New England Town From A Textile To A High-Technology Economy, John Mullin, Jeanne Armstrong, Jean Kavanagh

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series

This article describes and analyzes the economic transformation of Maynard, Massachusetts. Located twenty-six miles west of Boston, Maynard was the home of the world's largest woolen mill. In 1950 the mill closed and 1,200 jobs were lost. During the next ten years, the town gradually recovered as the mill became the home of several innovative companies. Ultimately, the mill became the headquarters for the world's largest manufacturer of minicomputers. The circle is now complete: the mill is full and houses a company that claims a "world's largest" designation. The article analyses the rise and fall of the American Woolen Company; …

Evolución Del Espacio Urbano Ecuatoriano, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Se revisa someramente la historia urbana del país, a partir de la conquista española, pues allí se inicia la oposición ciudad-campo, con predominio de la primera, Se presentan hipótesis generales sobre el tema que requieren ulterior investigación y se divide el trabajo en dos partes: la primera sobre conceptos teórico-metodológicos, y la segunda los periodos de esta historia con sus rasgos característicos, con especial énfasis en el análisis interurbano.

Evolución Del Espacio Urbano Ecuatoriano, 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 predomino sobre el campo; cuestión que permite, desde este momento, el análisis particularizado de la ciudad, como proceso y evolución propia. Y lo hacemos hasta nuestros días por cuanto nos permite, aunque a grosso modo, tener una visión …

Sin lugar a dudas una de las principales características de la historia del Ecuador en los últimos 30 años es el proceso de urbanización que ha experimentado la sociedad nacional.

Esta antología, que en ningún caso se propone agotar el tratamiento del tema, esta dirigida tanto a especialistas, como a estudiantes y público en general interesados en comprender aquellos aspectos relevantes y de mayor interés …
