Regional City And Network City: Portland And Seattle In The Twentieth Century, Carl Abbott
Regional City And Network City: Portland And Seattle In The Twentieth Century, Carl Abbott
Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations
Although Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, have comparable early histories, similar economic bases, and parallel demographic profiles, their responses to the rise of a global economy in the 20th century differ. Both were regional capitals in the first half of the century. Since then, however, Portland has kept its traditional role and has gained ground as a regional capital, while Seattle has become a network city transferring goods, services, and ideas reaching beyond the Pacific Northwest.

International Cities In The Dual Systems Model: The Transformation Of Los Angeles And Washington, Carl Abbott
International Cities In The Dual Systems Model: The Transformation Of Los Angeles And Washington, Carl Abbott
Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations
Though both Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., have grown into world cities since the 1940's, there are differences between them that are explained better by the two model system approach than by other approaches. Washington is distinctly and deliberately isolated from its immediate surroundings and is the center of an international information network. Los Angeles is the production and distribution center of an international region - Mexico and the United States. A valuable measure of the difference is the high proportion of professional workers in Washington, in contrast to the employment structure in Los Angeles, which closely reflects the national …
United States Regional History As An Instructional Field: The Practice Of College And University History Departments, Carl Abbott
United States Regional History As An Instructional Field: The Practice Of College And University History Departments, Carl Abbott
Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations
In one sense, American history is "a sequential process of regional development marked by a persistent tension between regional cultures and economic interests and integrative national institutions and values." Since the 1890's, regional history has been an active enterprise supported by academic instruction, leading university presses, specialized journals, and professional organizations. A survey of college and university departments of history yielded data to analyze the present ambiguous position of regional history within the evolving discipline of American historical studies.
Utopia And Bureaucracy: The Fall Of Rajneeshpuram, Oregon, Carl Abbott
Utopia And Bureaucracy: The Fall Of Rajneeshpuram, Oregon, Carl Abbott
Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations
During 1981-1985, the followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh built a large utopian community in eastern Oregon's solitude and named it Rajneeshpuram. While Rajneeshpuram appeared to be physically isolated and removed from government intervention, it was actually embedded in a dense system of laws and bureaucratic regulations, quite within reach of local, state, and national bureaucracies. It was this ability of the local and state regulators to limit the development that was one of the major factors for the sudden collapse of Rajneeshpuram in the fall of 1985. Other contributing factors were the growing disaffection and factionalism within the commune leadership …
Perspectives On Urban Economic Planning: The Case Of Washington, D.C., Since 1880, Carl Abbott
Perspectives On Urban Economic Planning: The Case Of Washington, D.C., Since 1880, Carl Abbott
Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations
There is little doubt that the United States has been undergoing a sweeping and multi-faceted economic transformation since the early 1970s. The industrial mix and spatial distribution of activities within the national economy are being altered by basic changes, including (1) the simultaneous growth of certain manufacturing industries and the decline of others, (2) the broad decentralization of manufacturing production to overseas locations and the rising importance of international trade, (3) the shift of employment from manufacturing and transportation into information processing activities, and (4) the emergence of historically peripheral regions in the South and West as centers of innovation …

Greater Portland: Experiments With Professional Planning, 1905-1925, Carl Abbott
Greater Portland: Experiments With Professional Planning, 1905-1925, Carl Abbott
Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations
Portland, Oregon grew so rapidly in population and wealth between 1905 and 1912 that the city's business leadership called for a systematic plan for future urban growth. The City Improvement League accepted the architectural recommendations of Edward H. Bennett to develop outward from the city's center through a series of government buildings, neighborhood parks, and parkways. Unfortunately, the local economic boom collapsed in 1912 and ended any chances of implementing Bennett's plan. Six years later, prosperity returned and a new architectural proposal by Charles Cheney gained acceptance, only to be subverted by the post-World War I economic slump.

"To Arouse Interest In The Outdoors" : The Literary Career Of Enos Mills, Carl Abbott
Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations
Enos Mills (1870-1922), a self-taught natural historian, had four related careers: mountain guide in Estes Park, Colorado; innkeeper, promoting Colorado tourism; lobbyist and spokesman for national parks; writer of books and articles on the outdoors.
