Smolski Texts
"A friend of mine and I grew up in the same small town, and both of us still have fond memories of that typical small New England community. The military, then college, marriage and family took us away, although we still maintain contacts there. But now we have a different attitude toward the town."

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series
Over the past five years the Center for Economic Development has been actively involved in industrial planning activities in virtually every community in the Valley. At times our work has been as local as developing a zoning amendment for an industrial park or preparing an overall economic development program. At other times it has been focused on broad policy aspects such as Governor Weld's recent initiative on improving our economic posture, or participating in the recovery of the WestMass Development Corporation. Throughout our work on approximately 40 different projects, plans and studies, we have been consistently amazed at the degree …

Settlement Patterns In The Portland Region: A Historical Overview, Carl Abbott
Settlement Patterns In The Portland Region: A Historical Overview, Carl Abbott
Portland Regional Planning History
Cities exist because they serve two basic functions--to generate economic value and to sustain social and cultural values. In the most fundamental sense, the interaction of these two urban roles determines the growth of metropolitan areas and patterns of land use and settlement within those urban areas.
Within this framework of metropolitan functions, five factors have strongly affected American urban settlement patterns. The first section of this report briefly introduces these broad forces. The central section traces in detail the ways in which the factors have shaped settlement and land use in the Portland area over the last 150 years. …

Private Profit Versus Public Service: Competing Demands In Urban Transportation History And Policy, Portland, Oregon, 1872-1970, Martha J. Bianco
Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation is a case study of the history of urban transportation policy in Portland, Oregon, between 1872 and 1970. The emphasis is on mass transit policy formulated and implemented by the private and public sectors as response to crises within both the local transit industry and the urban political economy. These crises are placed in the context of the continuing conflict between the industry's right to profit and its obligation to meet the competing demands of its constituencies: ridership's demands for low fares and comprehensive service; labor's demands for competitive wages; downtown businesses' demands for peak-hour service; and the …

Heritage Conservation Districts In Ontario: Case Studies, Lynda Elizabeth Formosa
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
There are twenty-eight formal Ontario Heritage Act “heritage conservation districts” currently in place in Ontario. Though some of these are now more than a decade old, little is known about how they have functioned. This study outlines the social and economic context out of which the Ontario Heritage Act was created and then examines a sample of four heritage conservation districts, including reviews of the district plans, field examinations of each district and interviews with the district administrators. The Ontario Heritage Act originated as a reaction to the 19705 "bull-dozer” approach to urban development and was intended to allow for …

'Environment' As A Social Concern: Democratising Public Arenas In Singapore?, Lily Kong
'Environment' As A Social Concern: Democratising Public Arenas In Singapore?, Lily Kong
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
This paper explores the question of who defines the agenda of environmental concerns in Singapore. It argues that the state plays an inordinately large role in defining the agenda and implementing the solutions. Few other competing environmental agendas have been set in alternative public arenas. While this has worked generally well in Singapore, there are larger roles for environmental groups, businesses and industries, and other bodies to play. It is in the enlarged roles of these bodies that the hope for a greater democratization of public arenas in Singapore lies.

Overcoming Racism In Environmental Decision Making (Cover Story), Robert D. Bullard
Robert D Bullard
Opening Paragraph: Despite the recent attempts by federal agencies to reduce environmental and health threats in the United States, inequities persist.[1] If a community is poor or inhabited largely by people of color, there is a good chance that it receives less protection than a community that is affluent or white.[2] This situation is a result of the country's environmental policies, most of which "distribute the costs in a regressive pattern while providing disproportionate benefits for the educated and wealthy."[3] Even the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was not designed to address environmental policies and practices that result in unfair outcomes. …

El Futuro Sustentable De Los Andes, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
La historia registra la existencia de ciudades y la concentración poblacional en los Andes desde las culturas precolombinas. Se desarrollaron centros de gobierno fundamentalmente al interior del continente (a excepción del norte peruano en donde se estableció Chan Chan capital Chimu), pues las escasas vinculaciones culturales y comerciales entre mesoamérica y sudamérica no justificaron el traslado o desarrollo de ciudades en la costa.
Algunas ciudades andinas como Cusca -capital incaica-, Quito, Tomebamba, Cajamarca y Pachacamac constituyeron centros regionales, que desempeñaron funciones de soporte para la organización política y el sistema productivo a una escala amplia, gracias a los caminos y …
