  • Roadside Architecture and Landscapes Thematic Survey.Indd
    Are We There Yet? Auto Landscapes and Tourism, 1913–1975 Elizabeth Crawley King Forward The Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) conducted this study to identify important places associated with transportation and tourism. Beth King, historic preservation specialist and former SHPO staff member, directed and completed the survey with the assistance of Erin Dorbin, SHPO intern, and Richard Collier, our now retired professional photographer. This work represents a comprehensive statewide study of cultural resources associated with auto tourism and transportation. We hope you enjoy learning about the history of our tourism industry and the development of Wyoming towns around our U.S. Highway system. We hope this work provides the public with a deeper appreciation of the roadside architecture of our state.

Received: 29 October 2017; Accepted: 14 December 2017; Published: 22 December 2017 Abstract: Optimising the spatial structure of cities to promote low-carbon travel is a primary goal of urban planning and construction innovation in the low-carbon era. There is a need for basic research on the structural characteristics that help to reduce motor traffic, thereby promoting energy conservation. We first review the existing literature on the influence of urban spatial structure on transport carbon dioxide emissions and summarise the influence mechanisms. We then present two low-carbon transportation oriented patterns of urban spatial structure including the traditional walking city and the modern transit metropolis, illustrated by case studies. Furthermore, we propose an improved model Green Transportation System Oriented Development (GTOD), which is an extension of traditional transit-oriented development (TOD) and includes the additional features of a walking city and an emphasis on the integration of land use with a green transportation system, consisting of the public transportation and non-auto travel system.

  • Victoria Park at the Crossroads
    1952 VICTORIA PARK AT THE CROSSROADS today Sitting at the edge of the prehistoric coastline atop a coral ridge, the Victoria Park neighborhood sits on relatively high and firm foundations when compared with low- lying areas that surround us. Vestiges of the coral ridge are visible in Annie Beck Park. This high ground, and our proximity to the New River, has put our neighbor- hood near a historic hub of transportation in South Florida. According to legend, a river suddenly appeared after a night of strong winds and shaking ground (an earthquake possibly cracked an underground aquifer). The Semi- noles named it Himmershee, “new water”, and it offered native populations a naviga- ble waterway — and it also would serve later arrivals who would call it the New River. In the early 19th century, when most of south Florida was uninhabited by European settlers, one intrepid white family established a coontie (arrowroot) planta- tion along the New River, in what is today Colee Hammock Park (at 15th Avenue). Further north, Americans searching for new land pushed west from the original 13 states, disrupting the native populations. A series of battles, many led by Andrew Jackson, culminated in the forcible removal of many native tribes from the southeast- ern United States to “Indian lands” west of the Mississippi. Natives who resisted the “Trail of Tears”, could flee from the United States to Florida, which was Spanish (and for a short time, British) territory. In 1821, the United States purchased Florida and Jackson became the military governor of this new territory, with its capital at Jackson- ville.
