Periodic Atlas Of The Metroscape: The Face Of Density, Diversity, And Disparity In 20th Century Portland, Craig Wollner, Meg Merrick
Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies Publications
We of the 21st century often congratulate ourselves on policies that have led to greater density and diversity in our urban settings, as remedies to the sprawl, ghettoization, and poverty that became the bane of planners and activists during the last half of the previous one hundred years. But the maps on this and following pages, generated by the Teaching American History Project of the Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies, suggest that there was plenty of density in various parts of the city at times in the twentieth century and a lot of diversity in certain neighborhoods. Often, these outcomes …

Lo urbano entendido como una forma específica de organización socio-territorial, adquiere en la sociedad contemporánea una especial relevancia en tanto, a inicios del presente siglo, más de la mitad de la población mundial habita en las ciudades. Por su parte, las tendencias en las que actualmente se enmarca el proceso urbano, en donde las lógicas de la globalización condicionadas, entre otros factores, por la consolidación de una nueva fase de acumulación territorial del capital, de una realidad mediatizada a través de cada vez más sofisticadas tecnologías de la comunicación, y de un paradigma cultural de impronta posmoderna estructurado alrededor de …

Export West: How Mountain West Metros Can Lead National Export Growth And Boost Competitiveness, Mark Muro, Emilia Instrate, Jonathan Rothwell
Brookings Mountain West Publications
In the beginning of 2010, with U.S. output growth modest and job growth nonexistent, President Obama devoted a portion of his State of the Union Address to “fi xing the problems that are hampering our growth.” One of these problems, according to the president, was a lack of international export sales. The president linked an increase in exports to an increase in jobs, and pledged to double the nation’s exports over the next five years.2 Since then, export growth has emerged as a key tenet of numerous economic visions including those of the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution …

Long-Term Evaluation Of Individualized Marketing Programs For Travel Demand Management, 2010 Portland State University
Long-Term Evaluation Of Individualized Marketing Programs For Travel Demand Management, Jennifer Dill, Cynthia D. Mohr
Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations
This research examines the use of individualized marketing as a transportation demand management (TDM) strategy, using the City of Portland's SmartTrips program. This research project has two specific aims: (1) to evaluate whether the benefits of these individualized marketing programs continue to at least one year after the project ends; and (2) to examine whether the theory of planned behavior (TPB) can help explain the behavior changes identified. Surveys of residents conducted one or two years after the original program found that the share of daily trips made driving alone, walking, and bicycling were comparable to that found in the …
Why Farm The City? Theorizing Urban Agriculture Through A Lens Of Metabolic Rift, 2010 Portland State University
Why Farm The City? Theorizing Urban Agriculture Through A Lens Of Metabolic Rift, Nathan Mcclintock
Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations
Urban agriculture (UA) is spreading across vacant and marginal land worldwide, embraced by government and civil society as source of food, ecosystems services and jobs, particularly in times of economic crisis. ‘Metabolic rift' is an effective framework for differentiating UA's multiple origins and functions across the Global North and South. I examine how UA arises from three interrelated dimensions of metabolic rift—ecological, social and individual. By rescaling production, reclaiming vacant land and ‘de-alienating’ urban dwellers from their food, UA also attempts to overcome these forms of rift. Considering all three dimensions is valuable both for theory and practice.

Stimulus And Response: Is The Recovery And Reinvestment Act Working For Us?, Elizabeth Morehead
Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies Publications
From the beginning, the Recovery Act has received mixed reviews. Skeptics worry about wasteful government spending and a crushing national debt while proponents argue that it is the only way to dig out from the recession. Locally, reaction has also been mixed. While some local leaders have enthusiastically embraced the Recovery Act, others are frustrated by its restrictions and see the program as a missed opportunity to effect real and permanent change. Additionally, several projects within the metroscape have received negative attention on both a local and national scale, causing embarrassment and raising questions about the judgment of those involved …

Mother Earth "Speaks": Change Yourself, Change The World, Use The Archetypal Energy "Harmony" As A Guide, Carroy U. Ferguson

In relation to the Cosmos, we all, as human beings, live on this tiny planet we call Earth, a planet that supports and sustains life, as we know it. There are many different kinds of people, plants, and animals functioning in harmony with soil, air, and water--all linked to one another in a complex web of life to form one Earth community. Unfortunately, we often take this miracle and ecosystem of life for granted. When, however, we take the ecosystem of life too much for granted, Mother Earth "speaks," reflecting imbalances and dis-harmonies. When Mother Earth "speaks," her message is …

El Mundial De Sudafrica A Medio Camino, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fernando Carrión Mena
Ha transcurrido la mitad del mundial de Sudáfrica y ya quedan algunos elementos interesantes que bien vale la pena analizarlos, porque algunos de ellos probablemente tendrán importantes repercusiones hacia el futuro del fútbol mundial.
Lo primero y más importante es la legitimidad de la sede africana en la organización del mundial. Se rompió el prejuicio que dictaba la imposibilidad de que los africanos pudieran organizar un evento mundial de esta magnitud, debido a las concepciones racistas que priman mundialmente en los medios de comunicación, en las entidades empresariales que auspician estos eventos, en los clubes (hinchas, dirigentes y deportistas) de …

En Chile las relaciones entre el presidente Sebastián Piñera y el entrenador de la selección nacional de fútbol – Marcelo Bielsa- no son buenas. Piñera, por razones políticas, busca aproximarse a los resultados exitosos de la selección y a su entrenador, como el rostro visible del proceso de cambio del fútbol chileno. Con mayor razón si el presidente tiene afinidad con el deporte -en tanto es propietario de acciones en Colo Colo e hincha de Universidad Católica- y con la política, por ser candidato primero y luego presidente por la derecha, lo cual le hace buscar una estrategia de cercanía …

Hemos entrado en un nueva era del fútbol: ¡la época postnacional! La difusión del fútbol se inicia a mediados del siglo XIX cuando desde Inglaterra y de la mano de sus inversiones empiezan a irradiarse a escala mundial; cuestión que se consolida en la década de los años setenta gracias a la coincidencia de dos hechos históricos: la descolonización africana y asiática, y la política de universalización de la FIFA, lo cual configura el hecho de que este deporte ha sido previo a la globalilización. Este proceso tuvo su expresión en la consolidación institucional de la FIFA con sus seis …
