This book was released on 2015 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban development has been one of the most important trends in the United States over the last decade and a half. Two popular ways urban development has been studied are through stakeholder relations and discourse. Often these two approaches to studying urban development are kept separate, but by combining them one gets a clear understanding of development as a whole. This thesis investigates urban development on Commercial Street, a historic district located in Springfield, Missouri, by addressing three questions: who are the stakeholders on Commercial Street, how does development affect them, and how does discourse affect development. To investigate these questions, GIS mapping was used followed by participant observation and interviews. I found that there are many different stakeholders on Commercial Street who are all affected by development differently. Relationships between stakeholders are defined by conflicts of interest. The way people relate the history of Commercial Street and the way they describe crime on Commercial Street are greatly affected by their perceptions. Because much of the literature on urban development focuses on large cities with an industrial past, this case study of development on Springfield, Mo helps to expand our understanding of development in medium-sized cities. This thesis also demonstrates the value of ethnographic methods for studying urban development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores the mid-size American city and examines the deeply nuanced relationship between city form, landscape and culture. Using Springfield Missouri as a representative case study, the city is viewed as a process of transformation, a reading which is used to build a layered spatial comprehension, interpreting the terrain as a set of limits, cultural production, and space of collective desire; and the city as a negotiation between global economic development and local specificity. The thesis is comprised of two parallel inquiries, one into a city type-the mid-size American city, the second about methods of observation and analysis as tools for city planning and urban design. Springfield, Missouri is a typical low density, poly-centered American city. Incorporated in 1838, it has never been a big city-instead Springfield has spent the past 174 years slowly transitioning from rural to urban, weaving broad stages of American urbanity with the Ozark plateaus and hills. The present city is experienced as heightened contrasts between strips, open fields, tranquil gardens, and the open space of the periphery, magnifying the ironic, poetic, bittersweet, and exhilarating state of the American town's transition to new metropolis the beauty of the ideal wilderness has been paired with the strips and squares of a generic city. It is the type of city which rests uncomfortably within normative planning/design ideal snot traditional or with a large downtown, it is often relegated to sprawl, geographically and economically it functions as a metropolitan region, but with considerably less density; it has accumulated gradually overtime, a piecemeal process that is the result of many contributors, with the informal guide of the survey grid, and the market economy. Springfield shares with other American cities the suburban motivations of everyday life centered around access, jobs, home ownership, school systems, and affordability). It faces the economic challenges of de-industrialization, the conundrum of the downtown and how to view form-how to define the collective identity of the expanded polycentric metropolis and how to grow in the future. In response this thesis suggests that In Springfield, the wilderness offers an identity more powerful and resilient than that of the downtown or a commercial shopping center, that to understand the city's form (and its future), its spatial terms must be re-conceptualized to consider form and terrain as interrelated systems that are associated with collective meaning and cultural function. The following thesis is structured as a layered dialogue between modes of inquiry exploring Springfield and the transformation of the ideal wilderness as a historical, theoretical, experiential, and spatial process. And each section explores the concept of wilderness as both a physical and psychological/cultural space, and each imparts an insight as to the spatial structure of the city. The goal of this succession has been to generate a layering of spatial comprehension that synthesizes across scales, using drawings to project abstract concepts and empirical data into concrete representations of space. The drawings are presented as both exploratory and revelations, each one considering the relationship between city form and terrain as an ongoing dialogue. Simultaneously these representations project a method for reading the mid-size city and how we might begin to view its form, not as a centralized polarity, but as a connective net that is ordered by the concrete fact and cultural ideal of the wilderness.

Book Synopsis Modeling Land Use Change and Urban Growth in Springfield, Missouri by : Nagaraj Kapil Kanala
Download or read book Modeling Land Use Change and Urban Growth in Springfield, Missouri written by Nagaraj Kapil Kanala and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to understand and analyze the determinants of land use change in the Springfield, Missouri metropolitan area, using GIS, remote sensing and statistical techniques. Land use change has been statistically modeled and analyzed. Economic indicators and employment multipliers are used to analyze and understand the urban growth patterns. Spatial analysis tools in GIS are used to analyze the urban growth patterns and they are compared with the Vision 2020 plan for the city of Springfield. Spatial analysis and the statistical models suggest that growth of urban areas away from Springfield, influence of dominant urban core, increased accessibility, development of transportation and municipal sewer network, and economic development have lead to land use conversions, mainly along transportation corridors. Growth of Republic, Nixa and Ozark heavily influenced crop to urban conversions in Greene and Christian counties. The analysis of landscape metrics indicated the necessity of understanding spatial variations in land use change (1992-2005) in the metropolitan area. The trade-off between commuting time and rural life style has resulted in rapid development in the suburban areas, especially in Nixa and Ozark.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Brownfield Development by : Christopher De Sousa
Download or read book Sustainable Brownfield Development written by Christopher De Sousa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While industrial and chemical innovations have contributed extensively to human advancement, the darker part of their legacy has been the hundreds of thousands of polluted sites left behind. Governments at all levels have rallied to support the remediation and reuse of these land resources and put many of the nation’s brownfields back into productive use. This book presents two dozen brownfield projects in the United States that have incorporated sustainability, highlighting project features, best management practices, and lessons from the field regarding the underlying policies and practices that enabled these projects to be completed or, in some cases, stalled, altered or abandoned. The case studies represent an array of brownfield projects that aimed to go beyond conventional practice and include a range and variety of end uses (e.g., corner gas stations, industrial, office, residential, brightfields, green space, mixed-use, and transit-oriented developments). The cases investigate site histories, planning and development and examine sustainability characteristics to understand how projects overcame the barriers to brownfield reuse and the implementation of sustainability features and derive a series of lessons learned, including innovative policies, programs, and/or funding mechanisms that helped make these projects work. Sustainable Brownfield Development will be of interest to developers, planners, consultants and community representatives interested in environmental policy, urban planning, community development, ecological restoration, economic development, and parks planning by providing direction and inspiration for those eager to erase the blight of the past and build a more sustainable future.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General urbanization trends indicate that population density is decreasing in the urban core of midwestern cities, while the population density of outlying areas has increased. These outlying areas, which traditionally support non-urban land uses, are being converted to urban uses. This paper will provide methods to identify rates of urban growth, determine major land cover types being converted to urban uses and use landscape metrics to determine the amount of fragmentation that is occurring within the various land cover types. This thesis utilizes multi-temporal Landsat satellite imagery to assess the rate and direction of urban growth in Springfield, Missouri and its surrounding metropolitan areas. Landsat satellite imagery will be acquired from 1972 through 2000 in approximately five-year intervals. These images are classified using six land use/land cover classes and change analysis is performed on each image. The non-urban land use/land cover in the study area experienced a large decline in all categories, while the urban class grew by 280 percent. Landscape metrics are run on the classified images at the landscape-, class-, and patch-levels to determine the amount of fragmentation each land use/land cover class experienced during the 30 year study period. All land cover classes became more fragmented.
