A civil engineer by training (Rutgers University), Bartholomew was credited with creating new city planning methodologies and design concepts in conjunction with the invention of the automobile. His approach to city planning became known as “Comprehensive Planning”. Bartholomew had developed a number of comprehensive plans prior to developing the City of Ladue Comprehensive Plan. Other cities included Newark, New Jersey (1911 – 1915), St. Louis, Missouri (1916-1920), Memphis, Tennessee (1920), Rochester, New York (1929) and San Antonio, Texas (1930). On June 30, 1937 a formal agreement was signed between the City of Ladue and Harland Bartholomew and Associates to develop a comprehensive plan for the City of Ladue. The comprehensive plan was formally presented to the Ladue City Council in March, 1939 (A zoning ordinance for the City of Ladue had already been developed and then approved by the Ladue City Council in October, 1938). The comprehensive plan developed by Bartholomew for the City of Ladue emphasized preserving the spacious character, rolling topography and wooded country like character of Ladue. Bartholomew noted that the City of Ladue was unique to the St. Louis region in combining country like living with essential urban facilities such as schools, paved roads and public utilities. Bartholomew noted that the greatest single future challenge that would face the City of Ladue was preserving this unique heritage to insure that the City would remain one of the finest suburban residential sections in the St. Louis region.

Reiff, Chair This dissertation appraises the role of white, middle-class businessmen as engineers of urban development, assessing the complexity of individual and group reactions to an array of economic, political, social, and environmental stimuli that residents of Kansas faced between 1870 and 1929 using Abilene, Wichita, and Dodge City as case studies. I explore the social dynamics that evolved among these local businessmen – as well as with other townspeople and those who lived outside their communities – to consider how these social interactions affected each town’s urban aspirations. This study traces the process of town-building from its inception when Abilene, Wichita, and Dodge City became cattle towns; through the towns’ transition into commercial centers during the boom of the 1880s; their struggles to negotiate the agricultural and economic depression of the 1890s; and their resurgence in the early 1900s.

Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Stephanie Allen Degree: Master of Urban Studies Title: Fight the Power: Redressing Displacement and Building a Just City for Black Lives in Vancouver Examining Committee: Chair: Anthony Perl Professor Karen Ferguson Senior Supervisor Professor of Urban Studies and History Peter V. Hall Supervisor Professor Frances Bula External Examiner Urban Issues Writer Instructor of Journalism Langara College Adjunct Professor of Journalism University of British Columbia Date Defended/Approved: June 12, 2019 ii Abstract Past and present planning practices impacting Black people in Canada are brought into focus in this master’s project that traces Hogan’s Alley, a Black community that existed in Vancouver’s Strathcona neighbourhood and that was displaced through a series of racially-motivated decisions spanning decades. The project documents the efforts made by the contemporary Black community to seek redress for the past displacement, and how the City of Vancouver reacted to those efforts. Engaging critical race analysis along with justice-based planning theory, the project uses auto-ethnography to document the specific justice-based interventions made by the author and other members of the Black community, including the proposal for affordable housing and a non-profit community land trust on the former Hogan’s Alley site.

In addition to being one of the most productive urban planners in the US, Bartholomew also became a key reference for urban planning in São Paulo. The case of St. Louis is emblematic for its context of sharp racial territorial dispute, in which part of the white elite that politically supported the plans advocated the adoption of an urban residential segregation law.
