WRITING URBANISM: a Design Reader Page 1 WRITING URBANISM Urban design continues to grow and mature as a field of study, research, and professional endeavour. This welcome collection of both invited and pub- lished essays is panoramically broad and comprehensive in its scope. Com- bining essays from both practice and academia, this volume includes some of the most significant texts on urban design from the last two decades, a period of transformational growth in the field and exponential growth in the metropolis. Writing Urbanism asks how cities can become more coherent, sustain- able, authentic, and equitable, as well as aesthetically compelling and cul- turally meaningful. The essays probe such issues as community, social equity, design theory, technology, and globalism. How does a rapidly urbanizing and polarizing world embrace these and other issues, and how can urban design translate them into consequential and workable urban form? By assembling a range of voices across different institutions and gener- ations, Writing Urbanism offers the most multifaceted portrait of urban design today. Scholars, students, and design professionals alike will find this collection to be a useful resource for understanding this increasingly important design field and for insights into the forces that shape the city itself.

  • Temporary Housing and Katrina Cottages
    MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY Temporary Housing and Katrina Cottages How the government’s response to disasters has shaped America’s architectural landscape. Kelsey Fields 4/18/2012 Fields 1 In 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita pounded the Gulf Coast. Wind, waves, and floodwaters destroyed homes and hotels. Unlike most disasters that the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) responds to, such as ice storm, fire, and earthquake, the 2005 hurricane season left unprecedented numbers of Americans without housing. In response, FEMA responded as the federal government had since World War I, with temporary shelter. It was logical for FEMA to respond the same way to the 2005 disaster on the coast; however, this drew the nation’s ire, especially when the temporary shelters were found to have high levels of carcinogens like formaldehyde. Years later, protest has not died down, but continues from the fact that many of the temporary shelters issued in 2005 are still in use nearly seven years later. In reaction to the flaws found with FEMA’s temporary shelter response, the Alternative Housing Pilot Program (AHPP) was initiated for the development of mobile and pre-fabricated affordable shelters without the inherent flaws and social stigma of recreational vehicles (RVs) and mobile homes. Thus, “Katrina Cottages” were developed and a new type of regional architecture was born. However, such change is nothing new. Rather, such change follows a pattern of architectural development that has occurred in America for nearly a century. These “temporary” structures often last years beyond their projected usefulness, serving as a reminder of historic events.

    Evans-Cowley: Post-Katrina Housing International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters August 2011, Vol. 29, No. 2, pp. 95–131. Planning for a Temporary-to-Permanent Housing Solution in Post-Katrina Mississippi: The Story of the Mississippi Cottage Jennifer Evans-Cowley Joseph Kitchen Department of City and Regional Planning Ohio State University Email: [email protected] Abstract Immediately following Hurricane Katrina, the Mississippi Governor’s Commission for Recovery, Rebuilding, and Renewal collaborated with the Congress for the New Urbanism to generate rebuilding proposals for the Mississippi Gulf Coast. One of the ideas generated from this partnership was the Katrina Cottage—a small home that could serve as an alternative to the FEMA Trailer. The State of Mississippi participated in the Pilot Alternative Temporary Housing (PATH) program, which was funded by the U.S. Congress. This study examines how local governments and residents responded to the Mississippi Cottage Program. This study finds that while the Mississippi Cottage program did provide citizens with needed housing following Hurricane Katrina, there are significant policy and implementation challenges that should be addressed before future disasters. The paper concludes by offering recommendations on how communities across can prepare to provide temporary housing in their communities. Keywords: disaster housing, Hurricane Katrina, FEMA, Mississippi Cottage, post- disaster planning Introduction Hurricane Katrina brought Category Three winds and Category Five storm surge to the Gulf Coast. After the hurricane, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) deployed trailers and manufactured homes, the typical forms of temporary housing deployed by the agency after disasters (Garratt 2008). After Hurricane Katrina, 95 Evans-Cowley: Post-Katrina Housing FEMA had to deploy 140,000 different temporary housing units in the form of travel trailers, mobile homes, and manufactured housing (Garratt 2008).

  • Emergency Housing in the Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: an Assessment of the FEMA Travel Trailer Program
    J Hous and the Built Environ (2008) 23:367–381 DOI 10.1007/s10901-008-9124-y POLICY AND PRACTICE Emergency housing in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: an assessment of the FEMA travel trailer program Stephen Verderber Received: 28 November 2007 / Accepted: 24 April 2008 / Published online: 30 August 2008 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008 Abstract Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast of the United States in 2005. More than 1800 persons died, and the disaster stands as the costliest in U.S. history. Over 200,000 former residents of New Orleans continue to reside elsewhere. The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) emergency housing program, and specifically the design, manufacture, and deployment of its travel trailer housing units, remain the subject of controversy. The FEMA travel trailer program is critiqued, as is recent empirical evidence on the deleterious health outcomes experienced by many trailer occupants. The results of a pilot investigation are reported, whereby the post-occupancy assessments of a group of occupants of single-site FEMA trailer installations were compared to a group residing in two FEMA trailer park communities in New Orleans. Among the findings, the travel trailer unit was assessed by occupants as difficult to personalize to occupants’ preferred patterns of use, inadequate in size, affording few site amenities, and little overall privacy, and the unit itself functioned as a source of chronic environmental stress. The findings are translated into a theoretical/operative model of person-environment interac- tions, to assist in further research on this subject. Keywords Adaptability Á Temporary dwelling Á Disaster mitigation Á FEMA emergency housing communities Á Health outcomes Á Hurricane Katrina Á Stress Á Locus of control 1 Introduction Global warming will likely have a profound effect on the well-being of hundreds of millions of humans in the coming decades.

  • Katrina Cottage FAQ's What Are Katrina Cottages?
    Katrina Cottage FAQ’s What are Katrina Cottages? Soon after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, architect and planner Andres Duany developed the concept for a small, permanent home designed as a dignified alternative to the FEMA trailer. The first Katrina Cottage was designed by Marianne Cusato as affordable housing for displaced residents and emergency workers and is being considered as affordable housing in resorts, camps, vacation communities, the military and other locations nationwide. Do the Katrina Cottages meet hurricane code? Every effort was made to ensure the Katrina Cottage was not only affordable but safe. The cottages are designed to meet the IBS (International Building Code) hurricane code. However, the homeowner will still need to check local building codes. How is a Katrina Cottage different from a trailer or mobile home? The cottages are designed to the same specifications as a full-scale house, and are constructed utilizing quality materials. For example, the siding is termite and rot resistant, and the wallboard is moisture and mold resistant. The only difference between the cottages and a traditional house is the size. The cottages are smaller to make them more affordable and faster to build in order to quickly provide solid, safe housing to those displaced from their homes. Do the cottages expand? Yes. Some of the cottage styles are designed with additions that can be built as time and funds allow. Can I make changes to the floor plans beyond the existing designs? It is possible to have custom changes made by hiring a local architect to modify the plans.

  • The Implications of Post Disaster Recovery for Affordable Housing
    Chapter 10 The Implications of Post Disaster Recovery for Affordable Housing Jacqueline McIntosh Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/55273 1. Introduction Disasters, both natural and man-made and involving the massive destruction of habitats, have been with us since the beginning of time. While responses have varied by countries, depending on their population, wealth and culture; and while the magnitude of disaster has also varied, as does the capacity for a country to respond, each country strives to restore its infrastructure to at least its original state, if not better. At the same time, affordable housing is also a persistent and world-wide imperative. Common strategies to respond to this need include subsidy, reducing quality, simplifica‐ tion and self-help (Katz et al, 2003; Johnson, 2006; Thorns, 2006; FAS 2008a; Gurran et al, 2008). Subsidy, involving agency payment for part or all of the costs of housing (and seeking to recovery) has been challenged by issues relating to internal objectives and external teaming initiatives (Bratt, 2002, FEMA 2008a). Quality has been compromised by issues relating to longevity, generosity, politics and lack of agreement about the mini‐ mum acceptable level of service to be provided (Anderson et al, 2003; FEMA 2008b, Lindberg et al, 2010). Simplification refers to the stripping of any superfluous details such as decoration, outdoor spaces and methods of construction and delivery. Self-help refers to the potential for self-building and in some cases self-financing (Harris, 1999; Brede‐ noord and van Lindert, 2010; HUD, 2007, Leishman, 2012).
