Abstract Temporary uses generally have a low profile in urban planning; there is not much research on them at this time and they are not a conventional tool within planners’ “tool kits.” The purpose of this practicum is to explore the effectiveness of temporary uses as tools for reanimating underutilized spaces and supporting strong urban design, especially in a slow growth city like Winnipeg. The argument put forward is that a better understanding of temporary uses and how they can be encouraged will make planning and design in downtown Winnipeg more flexible and adaptable to changing urban conditions while making better use of available space. The objectives of this research are to provide an overview of contemporary theory and practices regarding the temporary use of urban spaces; to develop recommendations for encouraging effective temporary use in Winnipeg; and to highlight gaps in the literature and to suggest directions for further research. Specific questions are asked regarding the claimed benefits and drawbacks to temporary uses of space, regarding the applicability of experiences in other cities to Winnipeg’s planning context, and regarding changes that could be make to Winnipeg’s policies practice in order to support and encourage a wider range temporary use projects. Several research methods, including a literature review, precedent studies, context analysis and policy document review, and stakeholder consultations, provide information to help develop eight recommendations suggesting improvements that could be made to the way in which temporary use projects are currently handled in Winnipeg. i Acknowledgments Any time I pick up one of these documents, I instinctively turn to the acknowledgements page. The opportunity to publicly recognise those who have helped you accomplish a goal does not arise often enough. With that said, it is not surprising that this section will be a bit longer than one might expect. It is essential that I acknowledge organizations that have provided funding to support my studies. The University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship fund, EH Price, and the International Students’ Centre have been generous in their support. I would not have had all the opportunities I did without their help. A special thank you to those who participated in this research. Thank you for your willingness to explore an uncommon topic and for sharing your thoughts and experiences with me. I would like to thank Gerry Couture for his enthusiasm and for all the discussions over coffee. Molly Johnson and Alan Freeman for their unique perspectives and for their willingness to jump right in. Dr. David Witty provided guidance and advice throughout my academic career. Other professors and instructors have inspired and encouraged me to keep going and have helped keep me well-rounded. Dr. Richard Perron, Dr. Marcella Eaton, and Jean Trottier have been generous with their time, especially to a student not in their department! Jeffrey Garcia’s enthusiasm and positive energy have cemented my love of teaching. Ole B. Jensen and Henrik Harder, my advisors at Aalborg University, encouraged and challenged me to produce work I am truly proud of. On exchange at Aalborg University I was a member of the best group ever. Eva, Simon, and Dorte, thank you so much for a full semester of excellent discussion. You can never talk too much! Kaeley and Vicky have kept me on track and have been great friends at the same time. Yvonne Helden and Rosemary Visevic were patient and friendly despite all my questions and extra paperwork demands. Finally, my family. Alex, Heather, Erin, Mom and Dad... How can a person ever thank their family enough? Mine is truly wonderful. ii Table of contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................... i Acknowledgments ......................................................................................................... ii Table of contents ......................................................................................................... iii Part 1: Introduction & background .............................................................................. 1 1.1 Introduction ................................................................................................................. 2 1.2 Problem statement ...................................................................................................... 7 1.3 Importance of the study ............................................................................................ 9 1.4 Research methods ..................................................................................................... 10 1.5 Organization of the document ............................................................................... 18 Part 2: Temporary uses in planning literature ............................................................. 19 2.1 What are temporary uses? ........................................................................................ 20 2.2 History of concept ................................................................................................... 24 2.3 Potential benefits ....................................................................................................... 30 Benefit: Adaptable/flexible planning ................................................................. 31 Benefit: Adaptive reuse ........................................................................................ 35 Benefit: Catalyst for change................................................................................. 36 Benefit: Fill unmet needs ..................................................................................... 38 Benefit: Participation and communication tool ............................................... 39 Benefit: Highlight creativity ................................................................................. 40 Benefit: Encourage entrepreneurship ................................................................ 42 Benefit: Benefits for property owners ............................................................... 44 Benefit: Environmental sustainability ................................................................ 45 2.4 Potential challenges ................................................................................................... 47 2.5 Variables ...................................................................................................................... 53 2.6 Planner’s role .............................................................................................................. 59 Reframing change and temporary uses .............................................................. 60 Tactics & strategies ............................................................................................... 62 Navigating relationships between actors ........................................................... 65 Creative governance ............................................................................................. 68 Part 3: Precedents ....................................................................................................... 75 3.1 Berlin, Germany .......................................................................................................

  • Holden Block 1027 West Madison Street
    LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT Holden Block 1027 West Madison Street Preliminary and Final Landmark Recommendation Adopted by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, March 3, 2011 CITY OF CHICAGO Richard M. Daley, Mayor Department of Housing and Economic Development Andrew J. Mooney, Commissioner Bureau of Planning and Zoning Historic Preservation Division Cover: The Holden Block at 1027 W. Madison St. is a four-story commercial loft building built in 1872. It is designed in the Italianate architectural style, faced with Buena Vista sandstone, and ornamented with a plethora of finely-crafted stone ornament concentrated around upper-floor windows. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the Landmarks Commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within a designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. HOLDEN BLOCK 1027 West Madison Street Built: 1872 Architect: Stephen Vaughn Shipman The Holden Block, a four-story building located on Chicago’s Near West Side, is an unusual- surviving Italianate “commercial block” from the 1870s.

  • Cultural Facilities As an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples
    Cultural Facilities as an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples A Paper Presented by Margery al Chalabi ACG: The al Chalabi Group, Ltd. WSE: World Society for Ekistics Annual Meeting Tinos, Greece September 24-29, 2002 Cultural Facilities as an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples I. Introduction Over the past four decades (1960-2000), American central cities have undergone successive waves of in-and out-migration which have profoundly changed both their economic roles and their urban character. • The early 60’s saw an ebb in in-migration to northern cities from workers from the south; and growth in suburbanization, as highways and new housing proliferated. • The seventies produced industrial losses from the rust belt and expansions into the Sunbelt cities, accompanied by accelerating suburbanization in both. • The eighties produced major contractions in basic industries and a spurt in professional and service jobs. The central cities and their downtowns produced record-breaking square footages of offices to reclaim businesses and their workers, many of whom commuted, by train, from dormitory communities. • By the early nineties, urban areas had stretched well beyond reasonable commute times; and suburban office parks – particularly those around hub airports – had begun to compete with or overshadow traditional downtowns. Some urban areas, such as Atlanta, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, grew into multi- nucleated matrices and give rise to the term “Edge City”. • The late nineties and turn of the century witnessed a cultural renaissance in many central cities. Theater, music and dance are expanding, building new facilities and enlarging their audiences. Museums – both large and small – are building new and renovating old structures and expanding collections.
