What kind of culture if any has been created by Architourism and is it authen c or inauthen c. What kinds of developments have occurred there recently and what has this done to boost or change the local community. In the 2010 census the city of Dallas saw less than a one percent increase in its total popula on while Ft Worth increased by more than 38%. Did Architourism play a role in this? If so, what? Our analysis will begin with researching the demographics of the local users and types of tourists, their income level, race, educa on and loca on of residency. We will also include looking into the histories of selected sites with respect to their economies, culture, tourist ac vi es, and rela onship to the built environment.

  • Fort Worth – Texas from Legacy to Luxury
    FORT WORTH – TEXAS FROM LEGACY TO LUXURY Founded in 1848, the family-owned Edwards Ranch predates the very city that has grown up around it. Once spanning 7,000 acres across southwest Fort Worth, land used for the Edwards’ cattle operation is now occupied by many landmarks such as the Fort Worth Zoo and Colonial Country Club. As passionate stewards, Cassco Development Co., the development arm of Edwards Ranch, is now focusing on the 270 acres known as Clearfork. Plans for The Shops at Clearfork involve careful consideration of how best to cultivate the last undeveloped portion of this legendary land to create a timeless contribution to Fort Worth. The Shops at Clearfork will be an upscale, mixed-use development in the heart of the city. Here along the Clear Fork of the Trinity River, an inspired mix of retail, entertainment, residences and offices will blend with expanses of natural green space and direct access to the Trinity Trails system.
