This ordinance serves as a guide for the community in making land development decisions and to help provide for the orderly growth and development of the Town. The ordinance will be reviewed and revised periodically by the Board of Aldermen, as conditions within the Town’s planning jurisdiction change over time. Elon adopted the Town of Elon Land Development Plan in 2002. The plan provides a vision for future development that accommodates physical and economic expansion, while protecting the community’s valuable natural, cultural, and historic assets. As growth is managed in accord with this vision, well-planned land development will maintain and enhance Elon’s traditional character. As a tool for implementing the plan, this ordinance provides flexible regulations and incentives that respect private property rights while encouraging growth that maximizes the Town’s investment in infrastructure and protects key conservation areas. This ordinance calls for detailed site analyses of proposed land development projects to make sure they are properly located and fit the natural landscape and existing surrounding uses. Detailed design guidelines are provided to encourage the development of inter-connected, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods with a good mixture of land uses and vibrant streetscapes and open spaces. To address and prevent the negative consequences of conventional development patterns, this ordinance draws from a variety of modern “new urbanist” development regulations adopted by small communities throughout North Carolina – especially the Towns of Davidson, Cornelius, Huntersville, Mocksville, and Franklinville. This ordinance goes beyond providing the minimum regulations necessary to facilitate safe and orderly growth, by advocating more traditional and sustainable planning and development practices that encourage the types and patterns of land development that will preserve and enhance what is best about the community. Through careful planning, future growth will be integrated into the fabric of the community to form coherent, functional neighborhoods and activity centers; to increase community security and identity; to enhance quality of life; and to encourage greater economic, aesthetic and social benefits for all residents.

Transformation or Revival: St. Louis Culture Before and After the Great Fire of 1849 Daron Dierkes B.A., History, University of Missouri—St. Louis, 2006 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate School at the University of Missouri—St. Louis in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in History April, 2014 Advisory Committee Minsoo Kang, Ph.D. Chairperson Louis S. Gerteis, Ph.D. Steven W. Rowan, Ph.D. Copyright, Daron Dierkes, 2014 Abstract It is commonly accepted that Antebellum St. Louis was reborn in the wake of fire and disease. A boom in cultural activities during the 1850s has allowed the Great Fire of 1849 to serve as a historical landmark separating an older fur trading town from a new cosmopolitan city. This study examines that transformation hypothesis from a broader frame of reference and concludes that the Great Fire merely coincided with the end of a temporary lull in cultural activities that had begun much earlier in the 1830s.

    “Is This a Real Neighborhood?”: Universities, Urban Development, and Neighborhood Change in the Twentieth Century United States A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Ellen L. Manovich IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Donna Gabaccia, Steven Ruggles May 2016 © Ellen Manovich 2016 Acknowledgements The first place I truly felt at home in Minnesota was on the waters of the Mississippi River, where the University of Minnesota Women’s rowing team welcomed me as a graduate student athlete. Even though the NCAA eventually blocked my participation in competition, I owe my thanks to those students and coaches for giving me a training and competitive home, for helping me pursue my athletic as well as my academic goals, for orienting me to campus, and for telling me kindly about the apparel needed to row in Minnesota (“My hands and feet are so cold!” “Welcome to Minnesota. You need woolen socks and pogies.”) I spent much of my first years at Minnesota as an itinerant, scrambling up the banks of the Mississippi, dragging my bike up the hill and across the river to the west side of campus, striding across the skyways and through the tunnels between the History department and the Minnesota Population Center. In other words, I am fortunate to have had many homes, personal and academic, on- and off- campus. For funding and office space throughout my time in graduate school, I thank the Minnesota Population Center, where I served as grad RA and doctoral fellow, and the History department, where I worked as a TA and an instructor.

  • Introduction to the Environmental Humanities
    Introduction to the Environmental Humanities In an era of climate change, deforestation, melting ice caps, poisoned environments, and species loss, many people are turning to the power of the arts and humanities for sustainable solutions to global ecological problems. Introduction to the Environmental Humanities offers a practical and accessible guide to this dynamic and interdisciplinary field. This book provides an overview of the Environmental Humanities’ evolution from the activist movements of the early and mid-twentieth century to more recent debates over cli- mate change, sustainability, energy policy, and habitat degradation in the Anthropocene era. The text introduces readers to seminal writings, artworks, campaigns, and movements while demystifying important terms such as the Anthropocene, environmental justice, nature, ecosystem, ecology, posthuman, and non-human. Emerging theoretical areas such as critical animal and plant studies, gender and queer studies, Indigenous studies, and energy studies are also presented. Organized by discipline, the book explores the role that the arts and human- ities play in the future of the planet. Including case studies, discussion questions, annotated bibliographies, and links to online resources, this book offers a comprehensive and engaging overview of the Environmental Humanities for introductory readers. For more advanced readers, it serves as a foundation for future study, projects, or professional development. J. Andrew Hubbell is Associate Professor of English at Susquehanna University, USA, and Adjunct Researcher at the University of Western Australia. His interests include nine- teenth-century British literature, literary theory, climate narratives, empirical humanities, and new social movements. He is the author of Byron’s Nature: A Romantic Vision of Cultural Ecology and The Story of Transition in Western Australia: How Local Communities are Pioneering Sustainable Society.

A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: I would like to acknowledge the lands and waterways that the festival exists upon and how privileged we are to live, work, play, create, and convene here. As an immigrant to Canada myself, I still have much to learn about my place within this history. The Toronto Fringe takes place on the ancestral territory of Tkaronto, and we acknowledge the Anishinaabe, including the Mississaugas of the New Credit, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat Nations as the original stewards and caretakers, as well as all nations recorded and unrecorded, acknowledged and unacknowledged. We are grateful to the knowledge keepers on this land, as they are also the original storytellers. We are beyond thrilled to present you with the 30th edition of the Toronto Fringe Festival. Who knew the little festival that began back in the summer of ’89 would become one of the mainstays of our city’s arts and culture scene? We have 159 shows for you this summer, organized in this program guide by genre to make them even easier to navigate and highlighting the great variety we have on offer.
