Developing Urban Detroit Area Research Project (Doxiadis) Records THE DEVELOPING URBAN DETROIT AREA RESEARCH PROJECT COLLECTION Papers, Printed Documents, and Graphics, 1910-1974 (Predominantly, 1964-1970) 40 Linear feet 2 over-sized boxes Accession Number 636 The Developing Urban Detroit Area Research Project (UDA) Collection was placed in the Archives of Labor History and Urban Affairs in 1973 by the Detroit Edison Company and was open for research in 1975. UDA was conceived by Walker L. Cisler, Chairman of the Board of the Detroit Edison Company. Begun in 1964, the project was sponsored by Detroit Edison and Wayne State University. Doxiadis Associates, an international urban planning organization headed by Constantinos A. Doxiadis, was selected to undertake the project. The stated aim of UDA from the beginning was "an un- derstanding of the problems created by dynamic urban growth in the Detroit Area and an exploitation of methods by which these problems can be faced successfully in the future." In the seven year history of the project, 1964-1972, a team of planners from Doxiadis Associates working in Detroit collected and created large amounts of written and graphic data. The series of this collection represent the most important subdivisions of this material. The principal findings of UDA were published in three volumes, collectively titled Emergence and Growth of an Urban Region. Copies of the work have been placed in the Archives Library. Substantially more written material produced by the project may be found in Series V. The collection as a whole preserves a record of the organization and evolution of the project. Coordinate with UDA were two other research projects, a study of larger urban patterns affecting the region, the Great Lakes Megalopolis (GLM) and a study of the greater Cleveland area, the Northern Ohio Urban System (NOUS). Printed materials from both GLM and NOUS may be found in Series V. -2- The Developing Urban Detroit Area Research Project Collection Important subjects covered in this collection are: Detroit and the Detroit Area, 1960-1970 Michigan local governments, 1960-1970 Ohio local governments, 1960-1970 Ontario local governments, 1960-1970 Public utility planning Urban planning Doxiadis, Constantinos A.

It challenges the notion of a “great divide” between Republic and Revolution by tracing contentious interactions between technocrats, politicians, and financial elites on one hand, and mobilized, mostly-Afro-descended tenants and shantytown residents on the other hand. The dynamics of housing inequality in Havana not only reflected existing socio- racial hierarchies but also produced and reconfigured them in ways that have not been systematically researched.

  • The Lake Michigan Natural Division Characteristics
    The Lake Michigan Natural Division Characteristics Lake Michigan is a dynamic deepwater oligotrophic ecosystem that supports a diverse mix of native and non-native species. Although the watershed, wetlands, and tributaries that drain into the open waters are comprised of a wide variety of habitat types critical to supporting its diverse biological community this section will focus on the open water component of this system. Watershed, wetland, and tributaries issues will be addressed in the Northeastern Morainal Natural Division section. Species diversity, as well as their abundance and distribution, are influenced by a combination of biotic and abiotic factors that define a variety of open water habitat types. Key abiotic factors are depth, temperature, currents, and substrate. Biotic activities, such as increased water clarity associated with zebra mussel filtering activity, also are critical components. Nearshore areas support a diverse fish fauna in which yellow perch, rockbass and smallmouth bass are the more commonly found species in Illinois waters. Largemouth bass, rockbass, and yellow perch are commonly found within boat harbors. A predator-prey complex consisting of five salmonid species and primarily alewives populate the pelagic zone while bloater chubs, sculpin species, and burbot populate the deepwater benthic zone. Challenges Invasive species, substrate loss, and changes in current flow patterns are factors that affect open water habitat. Construction of revetments, groins, and landfills has significantly altered the Illinois shoreline resulting in an immeasurable loss of spawning and nursery habitat. Sea lampreys and alewives were significant factors leading to the demise of lake trout and other native species by the early 1960s.

Web: www.witpress.com Email [email protected] Paper from: The Sustainable City II, CA Brebbia, JF Martin-Duque & LC Wadhwa (Editors). ISBN 1-85312-917-8 Urban densification --a sustainable urban policy? A. Skovbro Danish Centre for Forest, Landscape and Planning, Department of urban and regional planning, Denmark Abstract Planning policies in many European countries advocate for the Compact City or some sort of compaction process, as a strategy to obtain a more sustainable urban development, It contrasts the car-oriented urban sprawl of many modern cities, creating longer distances between urban functions, poor access to facilities and services, less efficient infrastructure provision, loss of open land, social segregation, etc. A Compact City policy in contrast should by regeneration and densification of the urban area crei~te the opposite, thus contributing to a more sustainable development in its broadest sense, social, economic and environmental, This paper explores the implications of urban densification, Based on a case study of a Copenhagen district, the paper will show the pros and cons of urban densification and the impacts on the urban environment, focussing on the local urban environment. The casestudy will be used to conclude whether densification and compact city policies can lead to a more sustainable urban environment. 1 Towards higher densities and sustainability in the 1990s Danish national government has supported a sort of densification policy since the mid 1990s. The turn in the 1990s Itowards higher densities in urban areas was happening due to several circumsti~nces.

  • Land-Use Planning Methodology and Middle-Ground Planning Theories
    Article Land-Use Planning Methodology and Middle-Ground Planning Theories Alexandros Ph. Lagopoulos 1,2 1 Department of Urban and Regional Planning and Development, School of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece; [email protected]; Tel.: (+30)-2310-995-484 2 Academy of Athens, Panepistimiou 28, 10679 Athens, Greece Received: 27 August 2018; Accepted: 17 September 2018; Published: 19 September 2018 Abstract: This paper argues that a monolithic land-use planning “grand narrative” is not sufficiently flexible, but that the fragmentation into innumerable “small narratives” goes against any sense of the existence of an established domain of knowledge. Its aim is to explore the epistemological possibility for “middle ground” theories. The methodology adopted for this purpose is to take as a standard reference the methodological components of comprehensive/procedural planning and to measure against them the methodologies proposed by a corpus of other major land-use planning approaches. The outcome of this comparison is that for more than half a century, planning theories in the field of urban and regional planning have been revolving incessantly around the methodological components of the comprehensive model, which seem, at least at the present stage of our knowledge, to be the universal nucleus of the land-use planning enterprise. This paper indicates on this basis the prerequisites for the construction of middle-ground land-use planning theories and how we can pass from the formal contextual variants to real life contexts through the original articulation of planning theory with input from the findings of the actual planning systems.

The purpose of the Goals & Objectives chapter of the Comprehensive Plan is to state clear goals for the City and to identify clear directions that should be taken to achieve such goals. It is the goals and objectives established herein that will determine the focus of the Comprehensive Plan recommendations contained within subsequent chapters. In essence, Greenville’s Comprehensive Plan should reflect: …public decision-making, which emphasizes explicit goal-choice and rational goals-means determination, so that decisions can be based on the goals people are seeking and on the most effective programs to achieve them. People and Plans: Essays on Urban Problems and Solutions, Herbert J. Gans, Preface, pg. vii Identifying and establishing a community vision are important parts of the process of identifying goals and objectives. The following vision statement was devised during the comprehensive planning process. This vision statement has been used as a guide in establishing the goals and objectives within this chapter and in determining Plan recommendations. The City of Greenville should be a community that is safe, friendly, and family-oriented where residents enjoy affordable homes, quiet, safe neighborhoods, and a positive community spirit; the City should attract and promote thriving businesses which provide goods and services for our community and the surrounding area.

  • An Urban Renewal Approach for Latin America
    RICE UNIVERSITY AN URBAN RENEWAL APPROACH FOR LATIN AMERICA by Luis Gomez A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master in Architecture Thesis Director's signature: PAUL KENNON Houston, Texas June 1967 3 1272 00674 5283 ABSTRACT OF AN URBAN RENEWAL APPROACH FOR LATIN AMERICA By LUIS GOMEZ My thesis is a system of Urban Renewal by combining work, housing and community facilities in deteriorated central sectors of Latin American cities. The arguments which uphold this position are: - The immediate necessity of revitalizing deteriorated sections of cities which have grown without proper attention. - The urgency of construction on a large scale, especially dwellings, to cover the existing deficits of housing and demographic growth. - The need for realizing the work of urban renewal through the govern¬ ment in each of the different Latin American countries. - The necessity of increasing industrialization and the economic development in each of the Latin American countries. The change which should be realized In the traditional form of city planning in the concept of integration of the basic dwelling, work recreation and circulation of urban planning and the concept of integration rather than their separation. The application of the concept of "evolution” in architecture and urban planning, that is to say taking into consideration the process of the life cycle, growth, development, and renewal of the parts.
