  • Managing Metropolitan Growth: Reflections on the Twin Cities Experience
    _____________________________________________________________________________________________ MANAGING METROPOLITAN GROWTH: REFLECTIONS ON THE TWIN CITIES EXPERIENCE Ted Mondale and William Fulton A Case Study Prepared for: The Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy © September 2003 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ MANAGING METROPOLITAN GROWTH: REFLECTIONS ON THE TWIN CITIES EXPERIENCE BY TED MONDALE AND WILLIAM FULTON1 I. INTRODUCTION: MANAGING METROPOLITAN GROWTH PRAGMATICALLY Many debates about whether and how to manage urban growth on a metropolitan or regional level focus on the extremes of laissez-faire capitalism and command-and-control government regulation. This paper proposes an alternative, or "third way," of managing metropolitan growth, one that seeks to steer in between the two extremes, focusing on a pragmatic approach that acknowledges both the market and government policy. Laissez-faire advocates argue that we should leave growth to the markets. If the core cities fail, it is because people don’t want to live, shop, or work there anymore. If the first ring suburbs decline, it is because their day has passed. If exurban areas begin to choke on large-lot, septic- driven subdivisions, it is because that is the lifestyle that people individually prefer. Government policy should be used to accommodate these preferences rather than seek to shape any particular regional growth pattern. Advocates on the other side call for a strong regulatory approach. Their view is that regional and state governments should use their power to engineer precisely where and how local communities should grow for the common good. Among other things, this approach calls for the creation of a strong—even heavy-handed—regional boundary that restricts urban growth to particular geographical areas.

  • Baden-Württemberg/ India
    Consulate General of India Munich ***** General and Bilateral Brief- Baden-Württemberg/ India Baden-Württemberg located in Germany’s Southwest side, lies at the very heart of Europe and shares borders with two other European countries – France, Switzerland and three German States – Rhineland Palatinate, Hesse and Bavaria. In terms of both its area and population size, Baden- Württemberg is the third biggest among the 16 German States. The state population is 11 million. It is the third largest in Germany after North-Rhine Westphalia (17.93 million) and Bavaria (13.07 million) and is larger than individual population of 15 as many as other member states of the EU. (For more detail: Annexure – 1 & 2). Salient Features of Baden-Württemberg Geography: Baden-Württemberg with an area of 35,751 sqkm is characterized by a distinct landscape. In the West, the scenery is characterized by the Black Forest and the Rhine Plain, in the South by Lake Constance and the ridge of the Alps, in the East by the Swabian Alb hills, and in the North by the Hohenloh plain and the uplands of the Kraichgau region. Forest makes up around 40 per cent of Baden-Württemberg’s total area. People: The people of Baden-Württemberg are known for their innovative spirit and industriousness which largely compensates them for lack of natural resources in BW. Their skills and expertise, commitment to industry, science, education, culture have transformed South west Germany into one of the world’s most successful regions. The total foreign population of Baden-Württemberg is over 1.6 million (11%), making Baden- Württemberg one of the most immigrant-rich of Germany’s flatland states.

Persistent warm urban temperature anomalies – urban heat islands (UHIs) – significantly enhance already amplified climate warming in the Arctic. Vulnerability of urban infrastructure in the Arctic cities urges a region-wide study of the UHI intensity and its attribution to UHI drivers. This study presents an overview of the surface and atmospheric UHIs in all circum-Arctic settlements (118 in total) with the population larger than 3000 inhabitants. The surface UHI (SUHI) is obtained from the land surface temperature (LST) data products of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) archive over 2000–2016. The at- mospheric UHI is obtained from screen-level temperature provided by the Urban Heat Island Arctic Research Campaign (UHIARC) observational network over 2015–2018.

  • Satellite Towns
    24 Satellite Towns Introduction 'Satellite town' was a term used in the year immediately after the World War I as an alternative to Garden City. It subsequently developed a much wider meaning to include any town that is closely related to or dependent on a larger city. The first specific usage of the word ‘satellite town’ was in 1915 by G.R. Taylor in ‘ Satellite Cities’ referring to towns around Chicago, St. Louis and other American cities where industries had escaped congestion and crafted manufacturer’s town in the surrounding area. The new town is planned and built to serve a particular local industry, or as a dormitory or overspill town for people who work in and nearby metropolis. Satellite Town, can also be defined as a town which is self contained and limited in size, built in the vicinity of a large town or city and houses and employs those who otherwise create a demand for expansion of the existing settlement, but dependent on the parent city to some extent for population and major services. A distinction is made between a consumer satellite (essentially a dormitory suburb with few facilities) and a production satellite (with a capacity for commercial, industrial and other production distinct from that of the parent town, so a new town) town or satellite city is a concept of urban planning and referring to a small or medium-sized city that is near a large metropolis, but predates that metropolis suburban expansion and is atleast partially independent from that metropolis economically. CITIES, URBANISATION AND URBAN SYSTEMS 414 Satellite and Dormitory Towns The suburb of an urban centre where due to locational advantage the residential, industrial and educational centres are developed are known as "satellite or dormitory towns." It has a benefit of providing clean environment and spacious ground for residential and industrial expansion.

    Das Mühlenviertel zwischen Steilhang und Ludwigsburger Straße soll städtebaulich und freiraumplanerisch umstrukturiert und neugestaltet werden. Hierzu erfolgte bereits ein städte- baulicher Wettbewerb. Ziel ist die Aufwertung des Ortseingangs durch einen attraktiven Stadteingangsplatz mit Aufenthalts- charakter. Die Planung soll in Einklang mit dem Neubau eines Fabrikverkauf-Gebäudes der ansässigen Lederfabrik Oehler erfolgen. Durch eine neue Fußgängerüberquerung bzw. -unterquerung der Landesstraße L1100 (Ludwigsburger Straße) soll in Verbin- dung mit einem neuen Schrägaufzug am Hang die lang er- sehnte barrierefreie Fußwegeverbindung von der Altstadt zum Neckarufer geschaffen werden. Konzeption. Daueranlagen. 49 Marbach am Neckar. Neckarwiese. Die Marbacher Neckaraue ist bereits heute das Naherholungs- gebiet der Marbacher und nicht nur durch den ansässigen Biergarten und die Vereinsgebäude des Rudervereins und des Kanuclubs ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel. Das Naturdenkmal „Fischerwert“ ist als Relikt eines natürlichen Auwaldes ein be- deutender Lebensraum für die lokale Flora und Fauna und unbedingt erhaltenswert. Eine neue Fußwegebrücke bei der Schleuse über den Neckar könnte in Verbindung mit einer evtl. neuen Seilbahn den Marbacher und Benninger Bürgerinnen und Bürgern sowie Besucherinnen und Besuchern, die über den Neckartalradweg ankommen, ganz neue Möglichkeiten der Mobilität eröffnen. Es wird angestrebt die Brücke im Zusammenhang mit der geplanten Verlängerung der Schleuse umzusetzen. So könnte man nun fußläufig und barrierefrei innerhalb kürzester Zeit vom Schul- und Sportzentrum über den Literaturpark und die Schillerhöhe bis zum Benninger Neckarufer gelangen und umgekehrt. Die Neckarinsel soll dabei als Rückzugsort für die Natur belassen werden. Zusätzlich zur evtl. Seilbahn soll auch ein neuer Fußweg südwestlich des Schiller-National- museums die Schillerhöhe mit der Neckaraue verbinden. Die strukturarmen Wiesenflächen in der Aue sollen durch die Neupflanzung von Bäumen aufgewertet werden.
