This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities have experienced an unprecedented rate of growth in the last decade. More than half the world's population lives in urban areas, with the U.S. percentage at 80 percent. Cities have captured more than 80 percent of the globe's economic activity and offered social mobility and economic prosperity to millions by clustering creative, innovative, and educated individuals and organizations. Clustering populations, however, can compound both positive and negative conditions, with many modern urban areas experiencing growing inequality, debility, and environmental degradation. The spread and continued growth of urban areas presents a number of concerns for a sustainable future, particularly if cities cannot adequately address the rise of poverty, hunger, resource consumption, and biodiversity loss in their borders. Intended as a comparative illustration of the types of urban sustainability pathways and subsequent lessons learned existing in urban areas, this study examines specific examples that cut across geographies and scales and that feature a range of urban sustainability challenges and opportunities for collaborative learning across metropolitan regions. It focuses on nine cities across the United States and Canada (Los Angeles, CA, New York City, NY, Philadelphia, PA, Pittsburgh, PA, Grand Rapids, MI, Flint, MI, Cedar Rapids, IA, Chattanooga, TN, and Vancouver, Canada), chosen to represent a variety of metropolitan regions, with consideration given to city size, proximity to coastal and other waterways, susceptibility to hazards, primary industry, and several other factors.

Download or read book Urban America in Transformation written by Benjamin Kleinberg and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1995 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban America in Transformation analyzes the changing federal system of urban policy making as an evolving complex of interorganizational networks and relates it to the restructuring of American urbanism over the past half century. Comparing the major perspectives (ecological and Marxist), the book provides a thorough review of the evolution of the urban policy system in the 20th century, and explores its significance for the postindustrial transition of older big cities. This book is timely and innovative in its approach and suggests a new method of analyzing the federal system of urban-related policy making. Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars in policy studies, political science, sociology, and urban planning will find this book to be an innovative and valuable contribution to the field.

Download or read book The Dynamics of Neighborhood Change written by James Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document has evolved over three years to meet the need for a more comprehensive understanding of how neighborhoods change. The Office of Policy Development and Research at HUD formulated policy alternatives to stem the rising tide of abandoned residential buildings. It showed abandonment as the last stage of a process, not a random or isolated phenomenon. The failure of programs to counteract and halt the decline of neighborhoods has stemmed mainly from an imperfect understanding of this process. There have also been political problems with acting in neighborhoods before the symptoms were painfully evident and from the tendency of program developers to deal with the house, rather than the people who own it, rent it, loan on it, or insure it. Few programs have recognized that those people were part of a total neighborhood rather than occupants of individual buildings. The process of neighborhood change is triggered and fueled by individual, collective and institutional decisions. These are made by a myriad of people-households, bankers, real estate brokers, investors, speculators, public service providers (police, fire, schools, sanitation, etc.) and others. It is a reasonable conclusion that if a concentrated effort is made to affect these decisions then neighborhood decline can be slowed, halted, or in some circumstances, reversed.

Download or read book Remaking American Communities written by David C. Soule and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban sprawl has gained much national attention in recent years. Sprawl involves not only land-use issues but also legal, political, and social concerns. It affects our schools, the environment, and race relations. Comprehensive enough for high school students and also appropriate for college undergraduates, Remaking American Communities delves into the challenges of urban sprawl by turning to some of America's top thinkers on the problem, including Robert Yaro, president of the Regional Plan Association. Other cutting-edge essays include a foreword about the emergence of sprawl by nationally syndicated columnist Neal Peirce, views about race and class by former mayor of Albuquerque David Rusk, and a discussion of transportation dynamics by Curtis Johnson, president of the Citistates Group. ø The essays in this collection explore the core issues of sprawl and the agenda for dealing with it. Complete with a glossary, resources, and contact information for smart-growth alliances, this book is extremely user-friendly. David C. Soule offers an unbiased viewpoint of this national phenomenon in a way that will be accessible to students and those with little background in the issue.
