Measure For Measure: Benchmarking The Region's Future, Don Barney, Alan Kenneth Delatorre

Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies Publications

Through its Progress Board created in 1989 and Oregon Benchmarks, Oregon has been a leader in collecting and using data to discern statewide trends in dozens of different economic, environmental, and social arenas. Oregon was among the first U.S. states to set targets for the future in each of these categories, allowing its citizens to see how much farther we have to go to achieve livability goals. These benchmarks are grouped under three major areas of a state strategic plan: quality jobs for all Oregonians; safe, caring and eng aged communities; and healthy, sustainable surroundings. Is there real value in …

Periodic Atlas Of The Metroscape: Common Ground? Land Use Along Portland's Urban Growth Boundary, Thomas Harvey, Martha A. Works

Metroscape

In this study we analyze the impact of the urban growth boundary on rural landscape change in Portland, Oregon, and Clark County, Washington,and assess the importance of rural and agricultural landscapes to residents of the rural-urban fringe. We selected five, 4-square mile areas in the greater Portland metropolitan area for the study. Four are in Oregon and cover the transition area from urban to rural land uses under different levels of pressure along the state-mandated and Metrodel ineated urban growth boundary. One is in the less regulated land use environment of Clark County, Washington. The kinds of questions we addressed …

Looking At Participatory Planning In Cuba… Through An Art Deco Window, Marie Kennedy, Lorna Rivera, Chris Tilly

Women’s and Gender Studies Faculty Publication Series

Last January we sat with about thirty Cubans in a community arts center in Boyeros, on the outskirts of Havana, Cuba. The group included artists, teachers, social workers, government officials, architects, engineers and health professionals, all working in Boyeros. We were leading a three-day participatory planning workshop to help this group identify ways that the 1930s Art Deco arts center, currently under renovation, could be used to spark broader community development. As the first day drew to a close, we felt good about the day’s work. We had turned the Cubans loose in a small group exercise that used art …

Gestión O Gobierno De Los Centros Históricos, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

EI presente artículo nace de un proceso de estudio y reflexión realizado a partir de lo que se viene haciendo y estudiando en algunos de los centros históricos más importantes de América Latina. Me planteo una lógica expositiva a través de tres preguntas claves y una conclusión general. La primera pregunta se refiere a lo que está ocurriendo en los centros históricos, ¿por qué esta temática ha cobrado tanto peso en América Latina? ¿Qué ocurre hoy en día con el proceso de globalización en los centros históricos de la región? La pertinencia de la pregunta proviene del hecho de que …

Model State Land Use Legislation For New England, New England Environmental Finance Center, Muskie School Of Public Service

Legislation

Sprawl is neither the ordained nor the inevitable outcome upon the New England landscape. A coordinated response to sprawl by the public and private sectors is possible, and could dramatically improve land use patterns and reduce the cost of local government. For the New England states, such a response would include, among other elements, legislation to eliminate existing gaps in the land use laws of each state – gaps that presently encourage or sanction sprawling development. It would also include incentives for municipalities to think beyond their borders and to act with greater efficiency and effect. It is the purpose …

La Violencia Urbana Y Sus Nuevos Escenarios, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

El predominio de la población urbana, el incremento del número de ciudades y la generalización de la urbanización en el territorio latinoamericano, llevan a concluir que la región se ha convertido en un continente de ciudades. Esta realidad trae nuevos problemas, entre los cuales se debe mencionar el incremento significativo de la violencia delincuencial urbana.

La crisis económica y las políticas implantadas, generalizan la inseguridad social y económica, y contribuyen a reducir los mecanismos de representación, a limitar los espacios de solución de los conflictos, a mercantilizar las relaciones sociales y a restringir las manifestaciones culturales, propias de la condición …

Water, Climate and Uncertainty: Implications for Western Water Law, Policy, and Management (Summer Conference, June 11-13)

The swollen creeks of Boulder, Colorado provided a fitting backdrop for the “Water, Climate and Uncertainty” conference at the Natural Resources Law Center of the University of Colorado in June 2003. Recognizing the importance of providing a forum for discussions between water managers, lawyers, policy makers, and scientists, Doug Kenney, the conference's organizer, assumed the responsibility of master of ceremonies, providing thoughtful transitions between speakers and sessions while throwing some humor into the mix. Under his direction, luminaries in the fields of science, law and policy engaged a wide range of issues related to the future of water management.
