Kpl.Org SPRING SUMMER 2019 SPRING TOUCH SUMMER 2019 kpl.org SPRING/SUMMER 2019 2 Grow and Bloom Hello! Thank you for picking up the Spring & Summer 2019 issue of our new, improved In Touch magazine. With this fresh update, we wanted to bring you stories about the donors, volunteers, partners, and library users who help to make Kitchener Public Library a strong part of an incredible community. We’re also highlighting the many ways you use Kitchener Public Library — the things you learn; the programs you attend that make you laugh, or sing, or ask questions; the businesses and cultural ventures you’re creating with support from the library; and — of course — what you enjoy reading! We’d like to thank the following contributors and participants who helped to create this magazine: The Blondes, Jessica Rediker, Joe Martz, the Waterloo Historical Society, William Muir and Centre in the Square, Samantha Kristoferson and Emilio Garcia of KW Professional Organizers, Susan Demeter and family, Glodeane Brown, Emily Urquhart, Brett McNeil, Beth Bowles, Paige Bush, and The Community Edition, Lee Brooks and Robin Molloy. You can find a full schedule of all our activities at kpl.org/programs, and look for a printed program guide, published four times a year, in your copy of Active Kitchener magazine. You can also pick up a program guide at any library location and find it online at kpl.org/intouch. As the days get longer and the sun shines brighter, we hope In Touch brings you inspiration for all the ways you can grow and bloom with Kitchener Public Library.

  • Old Bones: a Recent History of Urban Placemaking in Kitchener, Ontario
    Old Bones: A recent history of urban placemaking in Kitchener, Ontario through media analysis by Lee Barich A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2020 © Lee Barich 2020 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Kitchener, Ontario has experienced significant social and physical changes in its downtown in recent decades. Once an industrial hub, the City's urban core declined as suburban migration and deindustrialization gutted its economic and cultural activity. Now, the downtown sees a new light rail transit (LRT) system pass by the old brick industrial buildings where tech companies and new developments thrive. This thesis will offer a historical review as to how this transition occurred through media analysis. Newspaper archives show that this revitalization was the process of negotiating place, identity, and value amongst the City's leaders, its residents, and investors. This process revolved around the successful conservation of cultural heritage sites. Participants considered how to leverage these assets to reclaim the City's identity while also building a liveable space for its future. By exploring the important role played by heritage conservation in the City's downtown revival, readers will see how cultural assets can offer an economic, social, and cultural return on investment.
