Bayview Yards Case Study

The large influx of Greek and Italian immigrants is very prevalent in the neighbourhood, where it was named the largest Greektown in North America since the mid 1970s. This large population is also exhibited in the vast amount of Greek-run businesses, especially in the western region of the neighbourhood, providing Torontonians an up-close view into the Greek culture and way-of-life. In addition, the aged architecture from the early 1900s showcases how Toronto grew into the city it has now become, with each building in the neighbourhood preserving a certain function from that time period, such as the Danforth Music Hall. This allows Torontonians to obtain a deeper understanding of the vague history our city

From Henry Ford Hospital for an extension on hospital grounds. However, the positive effect is that this brought artists and residents came due to its continuous recycling and all kinds of their programs. This is why Detroit needs to be gentrified because at moments like this Detroit can start to bring tourists and more artist to their city due to their community service. As demonstrated by an article,’’This neighborhood that’s near New Center and Midtown is getting major investment, most notably from Henry Ford Hospital for an extension of their campus. The well-loved Recycle Here! is also in this neighborhood, bringing lots of artists and residents of all kinds for their programs. The Research Lofts are also here. The most logical conclusion we can draw from this is that gentrifying Detroit is a great

Introduction- The East Bay area is an economically diverse community with many satisfactory and unsatisfactory aspects. Each city had its differences and distinctions in people, settings, and cleanliness. As the bus left the station and went around the corner I could tell that we were in a low poverty city. With loose trash and debris in front of houses and apartment buildings, the area looked torn down and not very visual pleasing. Already familiar with the city of Emeryville I knew to expect a more upscale location. With plenty of name brand stores, and new apartment complexes, it was obvious this city was clean and very different from the previous location. As the bus

Sydney councils are now making an effort to upgrade and redevelop these areas of decay/urban blight through the processes of urban renewal and gentrification.

Contextualizing history is heavily intertwined with the development and shaping of Los Angeles as a whole. Los Angeles has always been deemed to be one of the hardest cities to develop in being one of the greatest cities in the world. This comes as a result of all of the history behind the buildings in the city. In addition, many of the buildings in the great city (both historical structures and regular buildings) are being renovated and reshaped to keep up with modern trends. Throughout the course of the growth of the city of Los Angeles, the city has seen a lot of growth in terms of infrastructure and population. There has been a recent growth in the popularity and demand for mixed use development. Mixed use development is a very hot

Rd 145 soon became an integral part of everyday life in Birdseye, Indiana. Home to multiple general stores, a variety of hometown restaurants,and a hall for the Modern Woodmen of America (Huff 1), this edifice served as a gathering place for all residents, past and present, throughout its 123 year lifetime. Now nearing the end of its lifecycle once again, this unique building awaits the chance to undergo an extensive restoration to reveal its former grandeur, because as Helmut Jahn once said, “Every building is a prototype. No two are alike,” (Demakis 12). Preserving this crumbling Italianate gem will not only provide a cultural hotspot for the town of Birdseye; it will give residents the opportunity to learn about the structure’s illustrious past and the history of the town itself while also telling the stories of many past residents and the challenges they

How successful has the regeneration of urban areas been given the variety of ways it has been undertaken (40 marks)

This report from the Ohio Historical Society proposes a Historic Site Management Plan for Newark Earthworks State Memorial. It provides details on how to use this plan, its methodology, the publics and advisory panel input and its priorities. Further, this document included a detailed chronological account of prehistory occupancy and important date, as well as, historical ownership and occupancy of the Newark sites. Discussion of their management framework included management strategies, access to the sites, cultural preservation, treatment plan and also, an informational brochure and visitor’s facilities. The appendix of this report include among other things, a brief history of Newark earthwork, deeds and leases, and also recommendations from the advisory panel. I find this significant because it contains valuable historical records of occupation and ownership post the 17th-century, and absence of any records of prior occupation and ownership of the earlier Hopewell culture, that is thought to have built most of these earthworks. Although this source doesn’t answer the question who built these earthwork and why was it built, it gives account of a solid comprehensive timeline from post European contact to modern century that I find relevant to the Newark Great Oval

By 1856, much shipping activity was occurring along the wharf of Redwood City (City of Redwood City 1999, 2). As development continued, the port of Redwood City was moved further towards the Bay to its present location (City of Redwood City, 1999 3). A deep-water channel was dredged, to serve the Leslie Salt Company, the Pacific-Portland Cement Company, and the Alaska Codfish Company (City of Redwood City 1999, 3). In the 1920’s Leslie Salt Company diked off land from the Bay to be used as salt evaporation ponds (Horii 2000, 1). In the 1930’s the channel was widened, a wharf was built, and by 1937 the channel was ready to handle cargo (City of Redwood City 1999, 4). The operations at the Port were successful, and was used during WWII by the U.S. Navy for docking ships (City of Redwood City 1999, 4). By 1942, the Frank Tanning Company owned land east of the salt ponds, the U.S. 101 was built close to the shoreline, and most of the former marsh areas were contained by levees (City of Redwood City 2003,

Willets Point is a mechanic paradise in Queens, New York, located close to Citi Field. Due to its close proximity to such a large sporting arena and tourist attraction, many would theorize that it should be a very well off place. However, Willets Point is the opposite of well off and has been for decades. When you visit Willets Point, the first thing you may notice are the cracked and crumbling roads, or the broken drainage system, or the lack of suitable sidewalks for pedestrians. The entire area has been neglected by New York City for decades, yet it still manages to function as a working automotive community. This, however, has not stopped a planned redevelopment of the area from taking place. This redevelopment would bring new infrastructure, housing, and jobs to the area while driving out the already existing businesses and workers.

While the plan appears to be thorough and complete, this very characteristic may also prove to be a weakness. As sustainable technologies and even planning methodologies improve, a plan as cohesive as the current Portland Plan may leave little breathing room to accommodate the integration of future improvements without large investments and comprehensive re-planning. In addition, plans as comprehensive as this one is tend to leave less room for the creative expression, which adds diversity and charm to the cities neighborhoods. In terms of raw efficiency, the choice to make this plan a joint effort between the city government and the citizens themselves, though a noble cause, can cause each step to take much longer, and even the delay of the project in its entirety due to the volatility of entire populations. One final risk of the plan, is the risk associated with time. As any program needs money to continue on, people must continue to vote for the Portland Plan’s various programs over the years in order for them to maintain funding, so that they may continue bringing about the sustainable Portland as exists within the plan. The plan is to take place over 25-years, over the course of which any number of variables may change. The issue is things may change over the course of those 25-years, that could cause people to lose support for the plans various programs. Likewise, over

As shown in the Zoning Plan below, the use of parks is very important in this neighbourhood, almost every bay has direct access to a park space within a few minutes walk. In contrast to River Heights, the roadways and architecture do not make it as welcoming and feels as though the only reason to enter the neighbourhood is if you live there or are visiting a friend or family

When people get a job, they may be nervous or very excited, but they never expect the management to be so bad they will want to quit. This is what happened to Beverly at Gridlock Meadows. Knowing the management style of your employer or supervisor can help you with problems in the long run. This paper will focus on four different management styles and how they could be used in Gridlock Meadows.

* There has been continued redevelopment. In 2006 there was a 3.4 million redevelopment package which again developed the docks.

Perhaps the most definitive example of New Urbanism has been DPZ's project, Kentlands, a 352-acre community in Gaithersburg, Maryland begun in 1990. An oasis of good planning in a sea of suburbia, it is not only a model of Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND) but also the predecessor to many other such neighborhoods developed within CSD areas. In Kentlands, much like Seaside, the Citizens' Assembly runs a recreation center and provides for common maintenance of public areas. Civic buildings and shopping in mixed-use buildings are within walking distance of the development's six architecturally distinct neighborhoods. This compact design reduces auto traffic significantly, allows children to go about their daily business without requiring a mother chauffeur and puts workplaces near their employees.5
