Miami Case Study

The boom and redevelopment of areas like Brickell were possible thanks to the Miami government approach. The city has been very flexible with the

It would be located between the Orlando City Soccer training facility and the USTA “home of American tennis” site in the Sports & Performance District. The location is deliberate; this potential new resort would service both the tennis and soccer facilities.

In St. Louis, one in two black children, opposed to one in 25 white children, attend a school that is non-accredited. This means that the school performs so poorly that they don’t meet basic standards to provide students the opportunity for academic success. After her school was stripped of its accreditation, Mah’Ria was bused to a different school district, one that valued students more than the Normandy school district did. Mah’Ria is a high-performing student who desperately wanted a better education, but was denied that right based on where she lived. Not only were classes too easy and the teacher’s incompetent, but also the school as a whole was disorganized. For students like Mah’Ria, low-quality schools have a negative impact on them and begin to discourage them from even trying to create a different life path, because

Human Geographer David Ley defines Gentrification as “the transition of inner-city neighborhoods from a status of relative property and limited property investment to a state of commodification and reinvestment.” (Ley Artists 1) In the past 50 years gentrification has swept over cities across the globe and has completely reshaped the way people think about why people live in certain neighborhoods. British sociologist Ruth Glass coined the term gentrification in 1964 to describe what was happening in the London borough of Islington, where Indian immigrants were being forced out in favor of creative young professionals. (Thomson). The term comes from the old english word gentry, which generally means wellborn well-bred and upper class people. For the most part of the last five decades gentrification has made large cities and downtown urban areas safer, more desirable for commercialization, more affluent, greener and more eco-friendly and has played a role in the vast change of demographics of many neighborhoods. This ‘urban renewal’ has been subject to many political debates, academic studies and research to figure out its positive and negative impacts on the socioeconomic nature of the cities it takes place in. Here on the eastern seaboard of the US we see gentrification in every city from Center City Philadelphia, to Chelsea, to Columbia Heights in DC. However this movement to gentrify is not reserved for the

The city of Dallas is one of the cities in the United States with the highest poverty percentage. I chose the topic as my previous job was in the city of Dallas I cared for many poor people who lived in the city. They had no insurance, most of them were homeless and had nowhere to go after being discharged. More than half of Dallas families make less than $25,000 annually. 28.4 percent of the households earn less than $25,000 per annum (Gilmore, 2017). The Dallas economy has demonstrated to work well for the rich and well up, but it has failed to provide opportunities and favorable growth for the working class and poor in the society ( Gilmore, 2017). The literacy level is low in Dallas County, and it is estimated that by the year 2030, the

According to research “Cost of living in Miami, Florida is cheaper than in San Francisco.” “San Francisco has better salaries than Miami”. What reasons attract to people to decide which of these two wonderful cities would be better to live. On one hand, San Francisco is one of California's major cities and maybe one of the most beautiful in the world. It lies midway up the Pacific coast. Today, about 829,072 people live here. In addition, it is the cultural, commercial, media, entertainment, the arts, and financial center of Northern California. On the other hand, Miami is the most populous metropolis in the Southeastern United States. It is located along the Atlantic coast in southeastern Florida. Today, about

After reviewing the material of chapter two, I believe the major stakeholders of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team are the shareholders. The reason I identified the shareholders as the major stakeholder is because they have invested a large amount of money and capital. The shareholders want to maximize their investment in stock and dividends. The shareholders are the owners of the company so they influence and set the teams goals, visions, ideas, and goals. An organization sets a board of directors who are selected by the shareholders that monitor and question top managers decisions, reinforce and develop the code of ethics, and find the right incentives to align the interests of managers and shareholders (). These roles that the board of directors

From the observation tower the horizontal building’s three parallel bands can be seen that extend into the lush landscape. The architects’ concept was to immerse the museum in nature by creating a set of three bracketed pavilions under one roof surrounded by gardens. The roof can be seen as

Miami is one of the many great attractions located in the United States, it is in South Florida bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Not only is it a great tourist locations because of its location and popularity, it is also the 2nd most populated city in the state of Florida. Miami being the hotspot of economy in the South Florida area it is of course a problem if sea level could rise and potentially impact the economy of Florida. Miami is home to the 12th biggest airport in the United States, so with the looming fear of sea level rise this could impact the economy because if the sea level does rise the way it has been predicted Miami could possibly be underwater in the next 100 years and that would mean no more airport which generates millions to the economy of not only Miami but to the state of Florida as well. Another industry that would be impacted heavily is the

Revitalization efforts in downtown areas have gained momentum over the past few decades, this paper is focused on revitalization strategies, recognizing the process of decline, while identifying key strategies used in downtown revitalization efforts over the past fifty years (Faulk 2006). Downtowns, unlike suburban shopping malls or office complexes, evolved slowly over time, responding to changing technologies, social and economic patterns. A city’s identity relies heavily on the image of its downtown, so inevitably cities of all sizes commit themselves to achieving successful downtown redevelopment (Robertson 1995). As I have been reading literature on downtown revitalization a number of strategies and principles have surfaced. Many of

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

Knowing that N needs his confidence to be at his peak in order to reach his full potential in competition would lead me to initially reduce his workload to improve his confidence. This would not be a permanent decision, but if N’s lack of confidence is not addressed, he could be physically ready to perform and exceed his best marks, yet still fall short. Previous research has found that physical readiness to return to sport does not always indicate psychological readiness to return to sport, (Crossman, 1997, Ford & Gordon, 1998). Therefore, if N is reporting that his elbow tendinitis is still present, the primary focus is to progress N to a point where the tendinitis is no longer psychological concern. As always, I would be sure to have a

First of all, to start building a city an urban pattern has to be established, this will make the city look much more organized and well thought. A pattern can be chosen from a whole list of working patterns for a city. Establishing a grid is a common way of equally distributing the city. However, we want to keep in mind, that important buildings, such as businesses, and government buildings must be accessible to the public, but separated from the rest of the city. We have great examples of grids such as New York City, in New York, United States, or Mississauga City, in Toronto ,Canada. Although, when building from scratch it is not possible to leave aside what has already been built, a city indeed has to adapt to what is already existing, as well as to the new global economy, social and political trends, and new issues that arise in the new era, this also changes the structure and tradition of building and forming urban patterns. Using the existing patterns, combined with new ones, both patterns can collide and make new forms in city blocks. Results vary from city to city, but the essence is the same in all of them; old and new patterns coming together to create unplanned shapes, a new form of Urbanism, based on new and old patterns, aiming to satisfy the needs of the modern world. A great example is New York
