SPORTS FACILITIES, REDEVELOPMENT, AND THE CENTRALITY OF DOWNTOWN AREAS: OBSERVATIONS AND LESSONS FROM EXPERIENCES IN A RUSTBELT AND SUNBELT CITY MARK S. ROSENTRAUB* I. INTRODUCTION The engines of wealth and economic activity for cities have changed. In the past, center cities were manufacturing, industrial, retail, and ser- vice centers. Today, while industrial output is still important for the eco- nomic health of some cities, consumption, recreation, tourism, and the provision of services are now the principal engines of urban wealth.' In- surance, banking, legal and financial services joined with experiential consumption, traditional retailing, and various forms of entertainment define the new focus for core cities that try to maintain their centrality in a regional economy. This transformation has been continental in scope, as center cities have dedicated substantial amounts of their urban space to these activi- ties.

  • Central Ave Corridor Summary
    CCENTRALENTRAL AAVENUEVENUE CCORRIDORORRIDOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY CITY OF PHOENIX PHOENIX C OMMUNITY ALLIANCE V ALLEY SUMMARY REPORT METRO R AIL Introduction Situated in the center of the Greater Phoenix region, the Central Avenue Corridor is a major employment center that features the highest concentration of office space in the metropolitan area. In 2004, construction of a regional light rail transit (LRT) system that will serve the Corridor is scheduled to begin. The planned LRT system creates an opportunity to alter and strategically plan new commercial and residential development in the corridor,while creating a unique and vibrant live,work and play environment. On September 19, 2002, the City of Phoenix, the Phoenix Community Alliance and Valley Metro Rail held a day-long Central Avenue Corridor workshop for community leaders and real estate professionals to: • Examine development patterns and recent trends in the Corridor; • Understand the current, intermediate and long-term market challenges within the Corridor; and • Consider how light rail transit will affect future development in the Central Avenue Corridor. The workshop participants included property owners, private and institutional investors, developers, brokers, community leaders and design firms. For purposes of the workshop, the Central Avenue Corridor was defined as the area generally bounded by Camelback Road to the North, Van Buren Street to the South, 3rd Street to the East and 3rd Avenue to the West (the "Corridor"). As a follow-up to the workshop, the City and the Phoenix Community Alliance along with EDAW conducted a design exercise in the spring of 2003 to further develop, define and illustrate the mixed-use/transit oriented development concepts that were discussed at the workshop.
