Book excerpt: It's the 1920s-the First World War is over, and the people of New Bedford, Massachusetts, like the rest of the country, enjoy high spirits and great prosperity. Familiar faces, young and old, look to a promising future in this great industrial city with a glorified maritime past. But trouble looms, and the next decades will require strength and determination. A troubled textile industry, the Great Depression, a challenged school system, hurricanes, wartime and a post-war economic decline-how will the city survive the tides of change? Resilient residents will take strength and encouragement from friends and community, finding laughter and escape through music, theater, radio, sports and other forms of entertainment. Everyday heroes will emerge. The city will reinvent itself and forge on. Fast forward to the 1960s. Following another post-war boom, new industries come to town, the hurricane barrier goes up and the fishing fleet brings promise and growth. But urban renewal tears at the heart of downtown and wipes out many old neighborhoods. The Vietnam War and the city's race riots bring turmoil and upheaval. Still, a new generation again brings hope and change. In A Picture History of New Bedford, Volume Two: 1925-1980, the second installment of a three-volume set, hundreds of photographs and stories bring the city to life in an enthralling journey through the core of the 20th century. Ride the last trolley, sip an ice cream float at a bygone soda fountain, take a turn on the ballroom dance floor. Celebrate New Bedford's music-from the big band sounds to folk, fado, jazz and rock and roll. Explore the evolution of the city's diverse mix of cultures and see New Bedford's fishing industry grow from a small fledgling fleet of draggers to what today is the country's number one fishing port. Experience the people, places, and events that have shaped New Bedford, one of New England's most historically significant cities.

Download or read book Collective Private Urban Renewal in New Bedford's Historic District written by John Kilburn Bullard and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the waterfront historic district in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It is, hopefully, the beginning of a process of collective private renewal that may lead the revival of the district as a vital element in the city's recovery. It describes the problems and some of the potential of an effort by an organized group of citizens to renew their community - an alternative to renewal by the government or by large developers. Two themes run throughout the thesis. The first is the city itself: how any attempt at planning for the district must acknowledge its relationship to the city. The second is the role the "professional" plays. This thesis is the work of a "location-oriented change-maker," a person whose first allegiance is to a location and its problems and secondly to a profession that might be involved in solutions to the problems. The thesis begins with a history of the district, which was the city in the days of whaling. It then discusses the problems that face the people of New Bedford today and the plans the city has for her future. The second part of the thesis is a description of the historic district and its people and concludes with a discussion of what it might become and how. Physical implications are included in the appendix.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores issues of urban form through an understanding of vernacular traditions in a local context. The exploration consists of looking at the characteristics of a particular place in an attempt to understand how a past way of defining space might inform a future way of making. The underlying concern in this thesis is the issue of disinvestment in our cities and towns. City centers -- once thriving commercial, civic, and community precincts -- have become fragmented, stratified, and isolated places. As crime, suburbanization, and disinvestment impoverish the public realm of the city center, those that can afford to avoid the plurality of the street for an increasingly privatized existence. Our built environment is a direct reflection of these trends -- the more we turn inward for stimulation, the less emphasis we place on the exterior; the more concerned we are with bottom line costs, the less we spend on public amenities and infrastructure. By focusing on a city in which these problems are manifest one might explore ways that architecture can provide increased opportunities for interaction and communication between people. For the purposes of this exploration, the City of New Bedford was chosen; it is a place of longstanding building traditions that faces the disinvestment that plagues many American cities today, The methodology that has been developed is rooted in vernacular traditions, and it establishes a mechanism for strengthening and enriching the interface between public and private realms.
