Saving The Inner Suburbs, Michael E Lewyn

While Jacksonville's older, more walkable neighborhoods and its newest suburbs have been thriving, its 1950s and 1960s suburbs have been declining. This article analyzes the causes of (and possible solutions to) this problem.

El Desafío Político De Gobernar La Ciudad, Fernando Carrión Mena
El Desafío Político De Gobernar La Ciudad, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Las ciudades latinoamericanas están cambiando. De la «ciudad frontera», con una lógica de urbanización basada en la expansión de las periferias y la metropolización industrial, se ha pasado a una «ciudad en red», resultado de la globalización, la reforma del Estado y los cambios demográficos. En este nuevo contexto, se perciben en la región dos modelos políticos de gobierno de la ciudad: el de la ciudad empresarial privada, que recurre al mercado para inyectarle eficiencia a la gestión urbana, y el de la ciudad inclusiva, basada en una revalorización del espacio público y la promoción de derechos. La exitosa experiencia …

Interrogatorio A La Descentralización Latinoamericana, Fernando Carrión Mena
Interrogatorio A La Descentralización Latinoamericana, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
En América Latina, el proceso de descentralización se inició con el quiebre de aguas que significó el retomo a la democracia, producido a fines de la década de los setenta y principios de la de los ochenta. Esto quiere decir que su existencia tiene no menos de 25 años, que nació de la mano de la redemocratización y que, por lo tanto, éste debería ser su signo.
Sin embargo, la descentralización también fue contemporánea de dos procesos simultáneos de reforma del Estado: el uno, de carácter político, que impulsó la llamada gobernabilidad por medio del fortalecimiento del presidencialismo y por …

Transformaciones Urbanas: 25 Años Después, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
En este último cuarto de siglo, en que el Diario Hoy ha sido testigo y actor privilegiado del convivir nacional, se ha producido un cambio estructural en el patrón de urbanización del Ecuador y en el desarrollo urbano de sus ciudades, que se puede caracterizar a través de los siguientes cuatro componentes fundamentales: 1. De rural a urbano 2. De municipio a gobierno local 3. De ciudad periférica a ciudad construida 4. La ciudad: un nuevo contexto

The Fall Of The 1977 Phillies: How A Baseball Team's Collapse Sank A City's Spirit, Mitchell J. Nathanson
The Fall Of The 1977 Phillies: How A Baseball Team's Collapse Sank A City's Spirit, Mitchell J. Nathanson
Mitchell J Nathanson
Too often, the Philadelphia sports fan has been dismissed as a lout, a boorish dolt immune to reason, his vocabulary whittled down to a singular “boo.” This is particularly true when it comes to Phillies fans, who are more likely to turn on their team than any other in the city. Although the Eagles, Sixers and Flyers may hear it from the rafters when they’re not going well, only the Phils will hear it when they are. The strained relationship between the city and the Phillies, however, has deep historical and sociological roots; roots that directly correlate with the city’s …

Sensory Gardens: Assessing Their Design And Use, Hazreena Hussein
Hazreena Hussein
This study will consider the design and use of sensory gardens by evaluating the garden features that are utilised by users, especially children with special needs in special schools. They have been observed experiencing and engaging with the multisensory environment. Preliminary site studies were carried out in fourteen sensory gardens around the United Kingdom, recording the personal observations of the usability of these gardens and conducting individual interviews with teachers and key experts. Further data collection has included in-depth interviews and behavioural mapping. Environmental affordance theory will be studied in conjunction with this study. The findings will then be developed …

La Descentralización En El Ecuador: Opciones Comparadas, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
La Sede Ecuador de la Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO) y las instituciones abajo firmantes organizaron en diciembre de 2006, el seminario “Quince años de descentralización y autonomías en Ecuador”, cuyo objetivo central fue realizar un balance del recorrido de esta propuesta de reforma del Estado, y debatir sobre los derroteros previsibles hacia el futuro. La publicación que ahora ponemos a disposición, es producto de esas discusiones y debates.
Este libro aparece en un contexto decisivo en los procesos de descentralización de los países de la región andina, y sobre todo en Ecuador en donde próximamente se dará paso …
Reforma Policial: ¿Realidad Ineludible De Una Nueva Doctrina De Seguridad?, Fernando Carrión Mena
Reforma Policial: ¿Realidad Ineludible De Una Nueva Doctrina De Seguridad?, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Un fantasma recorre América Latina: es el fantasma de una nueva doctrina de (in)seguridad. Todas las fuerzas de la vieja América Latina se han unido en esta santa cruzada para acosar juntas a este fantasma: la policía, la justicia, la cárcel, los gobiernos locales; la derecha y la izquierda; los opositores y los gobiernistas, la cooperación internacional y la población.
La población demanda seguridad, los políticos ofrecen su versión más represiva, la cooperación internacional está más presente que nunca, los Estados nacionales y subnacionales incrementan notablemente los recursos6, así como las propuestas de políticas se multiplican. Todos en esta cruzada, …

Gis Aided Archaeological Research Of El Camino Real De Los Tejas With Focus On The Landscape And River Crossings Along El Camino Carretera., Jeffrey M. Williams

Many generations of indigenous pathways through the forests of eastern Texas have their origins obscured in antiquity. Utilized by early European explorers, these pathways became modified through heavy use and the expansions and improvements needed to accommodate easy passage of European horses and carts and finally the heavy wagons of Anglo-American settlers. The first road through Texas, El Camino Real de Los Tejas, utilized portions of these early trails.
El Camino Carretera (known as the cart road) is an early segment of El Camino Real de los Tejas that crossed the Sabine River at the boundary between Texas and Louisiana. …
Five Myths About Sprawl , Michael E Lewyn
Five Myths About Sprawl , Michael E Lewyn
Michael E Lewyn
In Sprawl: A Compact History, Robert Bruegmann, an art historian, has painted a superficially convincing case for the status quo, asserting that sprawl is “a natural result of affluence that occurs in all urbanized societies.” Bruegmann's book has generated glowing media publicity. This article suggests that Bruegmann overestimates the universality of sprawl, by overlooking the differences between pedestrian-friendly cities with some sprawling development and cities in which automobile-dependent sprawl is the only choice available to most consumers. In addition, Bruegmann understates the harmful social effects of sprawl, especially the effect of automobile-dependent development upon non-drivers. Bruegmann also consistently underestimates the …

This sermon, delivered at First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, might also be called "Why a white girl from New Hampshire is studying The Philadelphia Negro." This essay/sermon connects Du Bois's 1896 survey of Philadelphia to the violence currently plaguing Philadelphia.
