APPENDIX .................................................................................................................................. 98 1 2 EXCUTIVE SUMMARY There is a pressing need to provide broadly accessible education on the benefits of integrating transportation and land use planning. In response to this need, the University of Oregon and a variety of co-sponsors hosted a City Design lecture series in Eugene. The objective of this multidisciplinary educational program was to host a lecture series that will inform area professionals, students, and the broader public about the need to consider transportation and land use strategies in concert that can jointly create more livable cities with enhanced safety, reduced congestion, greater mobility choices, and more housing variety. This lecture series meets the Oregon Transportation Research and Education Consortium’s (OTREC) goal of encouraging “… multidisciplinary educational programs and experiential learning across disciplines in the transportation field.” The lecture series brought a variety of nationally known experts in the fields of transportation planning, urban design, and transit-oriented development. These lectures were free and open to the public. Attendance was required of University of Oregon students enrolled in urban design courses. Over 600 participants attended the lectures. In addition, the videotaped lectures are available from the University of Oregon’s website as podcasts. Dan Solomon: Rich Admire Richard Meier: Whatever Happened to Modernity? Dan Solomon, FAIA, is the principal of Solomon-ETC, a WRT Company and author of Global City Blues and Rebuilding. His firm has designed award-winning projects across the country that incorporate environmental sustainability, socio-economic diversity, and transportation efficiency. Paul Crawford: Shaping the Public Realm: The Role of Form Based Codes Municipalities across the country are recognizing that traditional zoning codes do not support the types of buildings and open spaces appropriate in today’s transit-oriented developments. They have replaced these outdated rules with form-based codes in an effort to regulate the form of development necessary to support a safe and vibrant public life. Paul Crawford, FAICP, discussed recent applications of this new zoning concept and its applicability to projects that support livability and transportation choices. Elizabeth Macdonald: Building Multiway Boulevards Multiway boulevards are one tested approach that can meet these diverse demands. Elizabeth Macdonald, a professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of California at Berkeley and the co-author of The Boulevard Book, discussed her research and practice experience in designing and building multiway boulevards. Shelley Poticha: Building the Livable Region: Transit-Oriented Development and Development-Oriented Transit Shelley Poticha discussed how such development could enhance regional livability. She is the President of Reconnecting America, a non-profit organization working to integrate transportation systems and the communities they serve. 2 Clare Cooper Marcus: Clustered Housing, a Sense of Community, and the Needs of Children As Oregon cities search for alternatives to single-family housing at the metropolitan edge, the needs of children cannot be overlooked. In this lecture, Clare Cooper Marcus discussed how to make housing in the city appropriate for families. She is Professor Emerita in the Departments of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley. Galen Cranz: The Changing Roles of Urban Parks In this lecture, Galen Cranz discussed how urban parks have evolved over the last century and, how, in their latest

Our aim in selecting the excerpts included here was to highlight some of our newest practitioner-oriented titles, and illustrate the global scope of the work being done in this field. In reading through this FreeBook, you’ll find not only that the authors of these selections are based all over the world, but also that their approach to their work reflects a truly global outlook. The focus on practicality in Urban Design makes this FreeBook an ideal resource for urban design practitioners, but it should also prove useful to professionals across the Built Environment, including those in architecture, planning and even urban geographers and policymakers. Although we conceived Urban Design as a cohesive whole, we also encourage you to jump around and take advantage of the chapters that have the most relevance to you.

  • 1 Roslyn Road
    80 ROSLYN ROAD ROSSMORE APARTMENTS City of Winnipeg Historical Buildings & Resources Committee Researcher: Murray Peterson April 2019 This building embodies the following heritage values as described in the Historical Resources By-law, 55/2014 (consolidated update July 13, 2016): (a) Built in 1903 as a single-family dwelling, this structure was enlarged and altered into a multi-tenant block, mirroring the evolution of the entire Roslyn Road area; (b) This house was associated with Robert Lorne Richardson, newspaper man and Member of Parliament and his wife Clara J.M. Richardson and the conversion to an apartment block was associated with contractor J.A. Tremblay; (c) It was designed by local partnership Parkinson & Halley, built by contractor J.A. Tremblay and is an excellent example of one of only a handful of Georgian Revival Style structures in the city; (d) Built of brick with stone accenting, this block is representative of contemporary construction methods; (e) It is a highly conspicuous building within the residential neighbourhood; and (f) The building’s main façades have suffered little alteration. 80 ROSLYN ROAD - ROSSMORE APARTMENTS By the early 1900s, Winnipeg was in the midst of the most far-reaching and sustained period of growth in its history. The effects on the physical landscape of the community were enormous. In the city’s downtown, for example, infill construction, the demolition of older structures and erection of larger, more permanent buildings greatly increased the density of development. Much of this activity followed spatial patterns established before the turn-of-the-century which had created specific banking, warehouse and commercial districts.1 Similarly, empty lots along streets in older residential neighbourhoods began to fill as the demand for housing increased.

Pittsburgh Architecture: Imports from Philadelphia Archite cttlre after Richurd,s orL A Masterpiece in Print In June, the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation plans to celebrate the release of Margaret Henderson Floyd' s book Ar c hít e c ture af't e r Ri c hard s o n : Regionalism beþre Modernism; Longfellow, Alden, and Herlow in Boston and Pittsburgh. Margaret Henderson Floyd is a professor of art and architectural history at Tufts University. Her 568-page casebound book, pub- lished by The University of Chicago Press in association with Landmarks, is handsomely designed and lavishly illustrated with 455 photographs. It is a fascinating study of Pittsburgh and its architecture at the turn of the centu- ry, and it offers a new perspective on the decades fol- Iowing H. H. Richardson's death, a crucial period in America's architectural development.

    THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA \ HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Volume 62 October 1979 Number 4 THE ANATOMY OF A STREETCAR SUBURB: A DEVELOPMENT HISTORY OF SHADYSIDE, 1852-1916 Robert J. Jucha the CivilWar and World War I,the East End of Pitts- Betweenburgh grew at a rate far exceeding all other sections of the city. In this period, the East End experienced a population increase from less than 8,000 to over 160,000. l To a large extent this great growth was attributable to the introduction— in the mid-nineteenth century of the railroad and streetcar hence the term streetcar suburbs. 2 This study examines the development history of one of these East End streetcar suburbs, the Shadyside district. The period covered begins with the rise of rail transportation and concludes when the automobile supplants it in the early twentieth century. Primary concern willbe with the land-use patterns that occurred, and secondary emphasis will be on the kinds of persons attracted to the suburb. Robert J. Jucha is completing his dissertation in American Studies at George Washington University in Washington, D.C His topic is the de- velopment and architectural history of the Shadyside district of Pittsburgh. Mr. Jucha is also teaching part-time in art history at the Pennsylvania State University's New Kensington Campus. —Editor 1 These figures are approximations based on the combined population of Peebles, Collins, and Pitt townships in 1860 and the Seventh through Fifteenth wards in 1910.

    Memorandum PLANNING DIVISION COMMUNITY & NEIGHBORHOODS To: Historic Landmark Commission From: Ashley Scarff, Planner Date: November 1, 2018 Re: National Register of Historic Places Nomination: Boulevard Gardens National Historic District Please find (attached) the National Register of Historic Places nomination for what is proposed as the Boulevard Gardens National Historic District, which is located in the Ballpark neighborhood and roughly bounded by Quayle Avenue to the north, Main Street to the east, West Temple Street to the west, and a private alleyway to the south. It includes 23 properties organized around a central greenspace. The Utah State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) requests input from the Historic Landmark Commission, a Certified Local Government (CLG), regarding National Register nominations within the Salt Lake City boundaries. Commission Members should focus their review and comments on whether a reasonable case has been made for the significance of this property and forward a recommendation to the Board of State History. NATIONAL REGISTER The National Register of Historic Places is the federal government’s official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Listing of a property or district provides recognition of its historic significance and assures protective review of federal projects that might adversely affect its integrity or character. If a property is listed on the National Register, tax credits for rehabilitation and other beneficial provisions may apply. Listing in the National Register does not place limitations or additional regulations on the property by the federal, state, or local government. BACKGROUND The proposed Boulevard Gardens Historic District encompasses a single subdivision of approximately three acres located in Salt Lake City’s Ballpark Neighborhood, and is roughly bounded by Quayle Avenue to the north, Main Street to the east, West Temple Street to the west, with an alleyway and parking area providing the south boundary.
