  • When Andy Stack Moved to Columbia, Md., in 1977, The
    hen Andy Stack moved to Columbia, Md., in 1977, the planned community was a decade old and tens of thousands of residents strong. He thought it was a great place to live and work. Shops and walking Wtrails were nearby, new schools were popping up, and there was racial and economic diversity. It was convenient to Baltimore, Md., and Washington, D.C., and there was green space everywhere. Flash forward to the present as Columbia cel- ebrates its 50th birthday this year. The population now exceeds 100,000. Construction is under way on Downtown Columbia, a mixed-use development that eventually could encompass 5,500 residential units, 1 million square feet of retail space, 5 million square feet of offices, 640 hotel rooms, and a confer- ence center. BY STEVE BATES PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBERT MERHAUT GoodAS 18 x COMMON GROUND JANUARY FEBRUARY 2017 Gold©2017 Community Associations Insitute Columbia, Md., was developed 50 years ago to be a new town that would represent the best of America. That ideal still holds true for one of the country’s first master-planned common- interest communities—even as it continues to grow. JANUARY FEBRUARY 2017 COMMON GROUND x 19 ©2017 Community Associations Insitute Stack isn’t alone in thinking that Columbia has accomplished something. In 2016, Money magazine ranked it as the best small U.S. city to live. “Columbia, Md., turns 50 next year, and it’s never looked better,” says the article. What makes Columbia special? In part, it’s the open space that was set aside during Columbia’s planning in the 1960s—a whopping 3,600 acres of it.

    Sayers, Margery From: Tina Bennett <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2017 11:36 PM To: CounciIMail Subject: Public input on the proposed budget Greetings. If it is timely, I would like to express strong support for expenditure on bus stop improvement. I live near bus stops on Guilford Road and pass some on Broken Land Parkway. I see folks standing on grass or trying to keep feet dry by standing on a cement square (about 1 yard x 1 yard) if one is available. There is no shelter for many stops. At one on Guilford, folks will often sit on a pad-mount transformer because there is no other place to sit. There are no trash cans, so you can guess what is discarded on the ground. People look (and are) miserable at these stops, and such conditions do not encourage them to ride the buses. Howard County must meet basic needs (including safety) of riders to support bus ridership and support these people, many of whom might not be able to afford their own cars Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, Tina Bennett and family _^ »S^»y ^ ^ Uniting East and West with a Bus, Bike, And BRIDGE ^ COLUMBIA Pedestrian Bridge ONE BRIDGE ONE COLUMBIA www.bridgecolumbia.org [email protected] April 13,2017 Dear Howard County Council Member, Friends of Bridge Columbia wholeheartedly supports the inclusion of funding for upgrades to the Route 29 pedestrian bridge (Budget Item B3863 FY2013 Downtown Columbia-Oakland Mills Connection Improvements).

  • Anreprt 08.Indd
    Message from the President All colleges tend to have a specialty, something that makes them “known.” Some colleges, for example, are known for an outstanding engineering program. Others are known for an emphasis on classical literature. HCC’s specialty is “quality and improvement.” It has been a hallmark of the college since our doors fi rst opened to students in 1970. It is something faculty and staff embrace with a passion, something they see as foundational to our mission of helping students succeed. And it is something they do very, very well. That special characteristic became very public in the spring of 2008 when HCC won the U.S. Senate Productivity Award, Maryland’s top recognition of performance excellence. Among the criteria for the award are a strong customer focus, fact-based decision processes, systematic approaches to strategy development and implementation, and information systems that guide process improvement initiatives. This all sounds very quantitative, and it is. At HCC, the numbers add up to one thing: student success. This year’s Annual Report to the Community is about the people behind the award and the high standards that classify them as exceptional. HCC was founded on the principles of outcomes assessment and 38 years ago its program was one of the fi rst of its kind. The concept has gained traction in higher education over the decades, but HCC faculty and staff were - and continue to be -- leaders among their peers. With great pride, I present their vast and varied work. Sincerely, Kathleen Hetherington, Ed.D.

  • Gentrification on the Planetary Urban Frontier: the Evolution of Turner’S Noösphere
    Gentrification on the Planetary Urban Frontier: The Evolution of Turner’s Noösphere Elvin Wyly Abstract: As capitalist urbanization evolves, so too does gentrification. Theories and experiences that have anchored the reference points of gentrification in the Global North for half a century are now rapidly evolving into more cosmopolitan, dynamic world urban systems of variegated gentrifications. These trends seem to promise a long-overdue postcolonial provincialization of the entrenched Global North bias of urban theory. Yet there is a jarring paradox between the material realities of some of the largest non-military urban displacements in human history in the Global South, alongside a growing reluctance to ‘impose’ Northern languages, theories, and politics of gentrification to understand these processes. In this paper, I negotiate this paradox through an engagement of several seemingly unrelated empirical trends and theoretical debates in urban studies and gentrification. My central argument is that interdependent yet partially autonomous developments in urban entrepreneurialism and transnational markets in labor, real estate, and education are transcending the dichotomy between gentrification in cities (the traditional focus of so much place-based research) versus gentrification as a dimension of planetary urbanization. Amidst the planetary technological transformations now celebrated as “cognitive capitalism” and a communications-consciousness “noösphere,” these developments are coalescing into a global, cosmopolitan, and multicultural
