Love Is A Two Way Street, William W. Riggs, John Gilderbloom
Love Is A Two Way Street, William W. Riggs, John Gilderbloom
William W. Riggs
A half a century ago, we were in love with our streets. They were also living things. They were the open-air living room of our society, the conduct for neighborhood play and discussion, the glue of our social fabric. One of the key urban theorists of the 20th century, Jane Jacobs wrote in Fortune Magazine that the street “…works harder than any other part of downtown. It is the nervous system; it communicates the flavor, the feel, the sights. It is the major point of transaction and communication. Users of downtown know very well that downtown needs not fewer streets, …

How Is Mobile Technology Changing City Planning? Developing A Taxonomy For The Future, William W. Riggs, Kayla Gordon, Chris Steins
William W. Riggs
The emergence of web technology has created tremendous opportunities for improving the role of good government, specifically in the form of increased information, interaction with the public, and more cost effective and efficient means of conducting public business transactions. These opportunities have been broadened with the introduction of internet-enabled mobile devices, as location-based information is used to increase awareness of user activity, movements and behaviors in real-time conditions and specific contexts (Kwak, Lee, Park & Moon, 2010). Some argue that the transition to mobile changes the nature of work and can allow individuals to work outside the office and create …

The Fire Next Time: Land Use Planning In The Wildland/Urban Interface, Jamison E. Colburn
The Fire Next Time: Land Use Planning In The Wildland/Urban Interface, Jamison E. Colburn
Jamison E. Colburn
Wildfire is a growing threat to suburban and exurban communities, in part because fires have grown more severe and frequent as a result of land use and climatic influences and in part because more people are living in fire prone areas. The so-called Healthy Forest Restoration Act (HFRA), the federal government’s response to this crisis, is a deeply flawed statute that will likely exacerbate wildfire risks at the same time it makes real ecological restoration even harder. While HFRA took halting, partial steps toward the integration of broad and small scale land use planning, it was clearly still the outgrowth …

By committing UC Berkeley to the goal of returning to 1990 levels of greenhouse gas emissions by 2014, Chancellor Robert Birgeneau further cemented UC Berkeley’s reputation for leadership on issues of campus sustainability. Although the goal is laudable and the supporting research was groundbreaking, questions remain about how best to achieve the 2014 goals. In fact, the process of goal setting itself has revealed many of these questions. There are several possible approaches, each with its own costs, benefits, and risk profile. For example, some ideas and opportunities for projects have benefits for the campus and environment that extend well …

Ordering The Urban Environment: City Statutes And City Planning In Medieval Todi, Italy, Samuel D. Gruber Dr.
Samuel D. Gruber Dr.
Discusses the deliberate urban policies that of medieval Todi, Italy that helped create a functioning and beautiful medieval town through explicit laws and the careful micro-planning that utilized an incremental urbanism to create an inter-connected and integrated urban environment. Many of the medieval views visitors assume are part of an "organic" growth are actually careful projections of communal power and order.
