  • Sustainability, Hegemony, and Urban Policy in Calgary by Tom Howard BA
    From Risky Business to Common Sense: Sustainability, Hegemony, and Urban Policy in Calgary by Tom Howard B.A. (with distinction), University of Calgary, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2015 © Tom Howard 2015 ABSTRACT Recent years have seen the City of Calgary adopt a suite of sustainability policies in a bid to shift its received trajectory of sprawling urban development towards eco-conscious alternatives. But where sustainable urban development is typically rendered as a consensus-driven project portending mutual benefits for a given locality, the historical adoption of sustainability policies in Calgary has been characterized by waves of conflict and controversy which have allegedly watered down the City’s policy objectives. Rather than evaluating the technical merits of individual policies against ‘best practice’-type standards, this thesis argues that the meanings and implications of particular policy paradigms – such as Calgary’s move towards sustainability – must be found in both the specific institutional configurations in which policies are formed and the political-economic conditions to which they respond. This thesis explores these institutional pressures and conjunctural forces through a historical analysis of several key moments in the emergence and evolution of sustainability-oriented policy in Calgary. Chapter 1 establishes context for this inquiry, while Chapter 2 formulates a theoretical framework by synthesizing neo-Marxian interpretations of local environmental policy and recent innovations in the field of ‘policy mobilities’ with the work of Antonio Gramsci, particularly related to his conception of hegemony.

The CATT was designed according to the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC). The question arose during the design stage if the tunnel, which is a buried structure, would be subjected to the same temperature effects (range and gradient) given in CHBDC for bridges. To investigate this question for future designs, a system of wireless sensors was installed in the CATT to monitor temperatures with data being collected remotely. The paper includes an overall explanation of the CATT’s design, temperature monitoring instrumentation, and initial findings, including comparisons with temperatures recorded outside the tunnel, and the temperature range and differential provided by the CHBDC. Keywords: Tunnel; temperature; monitoring; wireless sensors; reinforced concrete. The CATT was designed according to the Canadian 1 Introduction Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC or code), The Calgary International Airport (YYC) undertook which gives an effective temperature range for the Airport Development Program to allow the Calgary of -43 to 38 degrees Celsius (°C).
