Fishman, Chair Associate Professor Scott D. Campbell Professor Paul N. Edwards Associate Professor Claire A. Zimmerman © Matthew W. Heins 2013 Acknowledgments I wish to express my sincere and heartfelt thanks to my advisor, professor Robert Fishman, who has provided such valuable guidance and advice to me over the years. Ever since I arrived at the University of Michigan, Robert has been of tremendous assistance, and he has played a vital role in my evolution as a student and scholar. My deepest gratitude also goes out to the other members of my dissertation committee, professors Claire Zimmerman, Scott Campbell and Paul Edwards, who have all given invaluable help to me in countless ways. In addition I would like to thank professor Martin Murray, who has been very supportive and whose comments and ideas have been enriching. Other faculty members here at the University of Michigan who have helped or befriended me in one way or another, and to whom I owe thanks, include Kit McCullough, Matthew Lassiter, Carol Jacobsen, Melissa Harris, María Arquero de Alarcón, June Manning Thomas, Malcolm McCullough, Jean Wineman, Geoffrey Thün, Roy Strickland, Amy Kulper, Lucas Kirkpatrick and Gavin Shatkin. My fellow doctoral students in architecture and urban planning at Taubman College have helped me immensely over the years, as I have benefited greatly from their companionship and intellectual presence.

BUNTING, JR., 2012 All Rights Reserved To the Faculty of Washington State University: The members of the Committee appointed to examine the dissertation of BEN S.

I've done my best to include as many of you as possible here, whether you're mentioned directly or indirectly, but if you've been left out, know that it's the result of a lack of space and not a lack of appreciation... From the day that I changed my college major to English Literature from the rather more lucrative Computer Science, to my decision to move two thousand miles from home to pursue a Master's degree at Washington State University, to my subsequent choice to stay at WSU for my Ph.D., my parents and brother have always been amazingly supportive, even during the times when they might very well have suspected that I'd just gone crazy. To mom, dad, and Justin: I still miss being home, but your understanding has made my time away much easier than it might have been, and that's made a huge difference.
