Ashbourne Our proposed development will provide: Beech Ltd • a new Asda store with secure underground parking and services; • 50,000 ft2 of local retail that will compliment Asda; • a new 620 pupil state Primary School; • a state of the art Community Hub; • ‘The Exchange’, a Theatre and Arts space; • new and improved links to Mudchute Park and Farm, Millwall Dock, Glengall Grove and East Ferry Road; • over 4 acres of high quality Public Areas to walk, rest and play; • much-needed private and affordable housing. Our investment and commitment is to create a great place for everyone. Tim Farrow, Director, RER London Ltd. 2 3 It is rare that London gets an opportunity like Crossharbour 01 District Centre. As a practice we were thrilled to be asked to be Welcome involved in the design of such an important part of the Isle of Dogs. We have been involved on the Island for nearly 30 years, and have from CZWG also worked across Tower Hamlets - on schemes such as the Mile End Bridge, which we are pleased to see, with its combination of architects infrastructure, landscape and social space for the community, has become one of east London’s most treasured architectural features. We want Crossharbour District Centre to reflect this success. As a Tower Hamlets resident myself, I am aware of the demands and expectations and I am committed to ensure these are fulfilled. We have a chance to create a new great place for London, and we have responded with huge excitement and sought to push the boundaries of what a contemporary District Centre should be. One of the key aspects is to deliver a great public realm. At the centre of the scheme we have designed a new square - animated and inclusive - that will become one of London’s great squares. Alongside this, the Belvedere is an all weather extension to Mudchute Park, reflecting our commitment to connect to and celebrate the surrounding area, while bringing great new architecture to this changing part of the city. With such a diversity of uses concentrated in the District Centre - including a new school, an arts space, independent retail units and the continuation of ASDA’s important presence - we have created designs that will ensure that Crossharbour District Centre will become a hugely valued destination and focal point for the Isle of Dogs - one animated with creativity, and one that can flourish for years to come. Piers Gough, Partner, CZWG Architects As Crossharbour is located next to one of London’s great green Welcome spaces, we have been asking ourselves: how can we make its from Martha landscape design as integral a part of the District Centre’s design as possible? Can we immerse people in an environment which not Schwartz only is legible, active and inviting - but that is inspired by the rich ecology and heritage of Mudchute Park, and which encourages Partners people to consider landscape as a key element of the experience of their District Centre experience? Ashbourne Beech see the landscape offer as crucial to the creation of a distinctive public realm in a place that the public will access in significant numbers. They have encouraged us to explore its role as fully as possible, and we have produced designs of a calibre that we think Crossharbour District Centre’s residents and visitors will value. Our landscape will offer human scale experiences and intimate moments and also support play and recreation. Crossharbour will intertwine landscape with architecture, interaction and contemplation. We hope people will engage with, and take value from it, in many diverse ways, so mirroring the many layers of activity that will happen across this exciting new place.

Embedding these Principles, through architecture, landscape, infrastructure, retail, community, the arts and a range Placemaking of other areas will ensure Crossharbour District Centre is a place Principles with a clear ‘cultural DNA’ that is visible, interconnected and compelling. When applied, the Principles can trigger powerful new partnerships and unlock the potential of a ‘small c’ aproach to culture. This enables the public - as audiences, participants, collaborators and as creators - to engage with and appreciate the role of a creative and cultural approach to place design. Working with London Borough of Tower Hamlets, the Greater London Authority, Transport for London and our anchor partner ASDA, we have developed a set of 6 Placemaking Principles for Crossharbour District Centre. Community The District Centre will provide a positive meeting ground and meaningful amenities for local communities, while offering participation, learning and skills development opportunities and supporting capacity building of local community organisations. Combinations The design of the District Centre’s layers – a diverse range of day- to-day activities within a concentrated area, including a generous and programmable public realm will ensure a vibrant destination. Context The District Centre is designed to welcome a large and diverse social mix, and to bring together local communities with new residents, workers and visitors. Its identity will reflect the heritage of the Isle of Dogs while also offering high quality contemporary amenities. Connectivity The District Centre will promote walkability and interaction, while acting as a new cycling hub and offering car parking and an upgraded bus interchange. Culture Crossharbour District Centre will be a new cultural hub for the Isle of Dogs, principally by establishing a flexible, community- centred art space at its heart and by commissioning a series of high quality public artworks across the scheme. Contemporary Green The District Centre will draw in the green character of Mudchute Park and extend it through an imaginative landscape strategy, including selection of flora and fauna that will complement the existing local ecology while supporting local species in and around the site. 12 13 03 Combinations The Creating a genuine District Placemaking Centre through mixed use and Principles an activated public realm Places thrive when users have a range of reasons to be there. The new Crossharbour District Centre masterplan design is based on the layering of a diverse range of day-to-day activities within a concentrated area, supported by a significant public realm offer that can support programmed events such as pop-up markets, outdoor performances and community events. These ingredients, essential to the vibrancy and long-term success of a District Centre, will build significantly on the site’s heavy use (estimated at 60,000+ weekly visitors to the existing ASDA). Community Providing a positive community asset for people The Isle of Dogs has a deeply rooted sense of community, stemming from the influx of working class families following the collapse of the docks and the rise of the manufacturing industry at the end of the 19th Century. Relatively secluded from the rest of London, the Island became semi-self-sufficient with its own stock of pubs, churches, clubs and societies. Local communities have remained resilient through the post-industrial shift of the manufacturing economy in the 1970s which sent many families to seek work in other parts of London in addition to the more recent arrival of Canary Wharf on its doorstep. As the number of local residents is set to grow, Crossharbour District Centre aims to provide an engaging social ‘centre of gravity’ for the Island, and a range of appropriately designed cultural and community amenities, including a new primary school. These amenities should provide opportunities for participation, learning, skills development and for the capacity building of local community organisations. 14 15 03 The Placemaking Principles Context Supporting community mixing, connecting past and future The Isle of Dogs is changing - Crossrail will open in 2018, cutting journey time to Liverpool Street to 6 minutes and Paddington to 17 minutes. Canary Wharf’s 22-acre ‘New Phase’ will, by 2023, create over 3,200 new homes, nearly 2 million sq ft of offices and 335,000 sq ft of shops, restaurants and community uses.

  • The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860
    PRESERVING THE WHITE MAN’S REPUBLIC: THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM, 1847-1860 Joshua A. Lynn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Harry L. Watson William L. Barney Laura F. Edwards Joseph T. Glatthaar Michael Lienesch © 2015 Joshua A. Lynn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joshua A. Lynn: Preserving the White Man’s Republic: The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860 (Under the direction of Harry L. Watson) In the late 1840s and 1850s, the American Democratic party redefined itself as “conservative.” Yet Democrats’ preexisting dedication to majoritarian democracy, liberal individualism, and white supremacy had not changed. Democrats believed that “fanatical” reformers, who opposed slavery and advanced the rights of African Americans and women, imperiled the white man’s republic they had crafted in the early 1800s. There were no more abstract notions of freedom to boundlessly unfold; there was only the existing liberty of white men to conserve. Democrats therefore recast democracy, previously a progressive means to expand rights, as a way for local majorities to police racial and gender boundaries. In the process, they reinvigorated American conservatism by placing it on a foundation of majoritarian democracy. Empowering white men to democratically govern all other Americans, Democrats contended, would preserve their prerogatives. With the policy of “popular sovereignty,” for instance, Democrats left slavery’s expansion to territorial settlers’ democratic decision-making.
