Plan for growth and development, pursuant to North Dakota Century Code Section 40-47-03. This Plan addresses growth within the City’s existing footprint through either of two means: 2014 Fringe Area Road Master Plan Infill: Development of vacant or underutilized remnant lands that have been passed over by previous urban development. Redevelopment: Replacing, remodeling, or reusing existing structures and land to accommodate new development, often changing their form and function. 2016 Infill and Area Covered by Plan Redevelopment Plan The 2016 Infill and Redevelopment Plan covers areas that are already largely developed within the existing City limits of Bismarck. The 2014 Growth Management Plan and Fringe Area Road Master Plan addressed the outward growth of the City into the rural areas of Burleigh County, and the 2016 Infill and Redevelopment Plan addresses inward growth. 2014 Growth However, this plan recognizes that many of the design principles and Management Plan strategies could also be applied to new development on the edges, and not all principles are appropriate for every area of the City. 11/16/2016 P&Z Commission Adoption 1 2/28/2017 City Commission Acceptance City of Bismarck 1 | Introduction Purpose of Plan The purpose of this Plan is to facilitate high-quality infill and redevelopment in the City of Bismarck that: 1. Protects and enhances the high quality of life of existing neighborhoods, 2. Contributes to the economic vitality of established business districts, 3. Lessens public costs by leveraging existing infrastructure to provide services to more people, and 4.

It challenges the notion of a “great divide” between Republic and Revolution by tracing contentious interactions between technocrats, politicians, and financial elites on one hand, and mobilized, mostly-Afro-descended tenants and shantytown residents on the other hand. The dynamics of housing inequality in Havana not only reflected existing socio- racial hierarchies but also produced and reconfigured them in ways that have not been systematically researched.

  • Managing Metropolitan Growth: Reflections on the Twin Cities Experience
    _____________________________________________________________________________________________ MANAGING METROPOLITAN GROWTH: REFLECTIONS ON THE TWIN CITIES EXPERIENCE Ted Mondale and William Fulton A Case Study Prepared for: The Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy © September 2003 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ MANAGING METROPOLITAN GROWTH: REFLECTIONS ON THE TWIN CITIES EXPERIENCE BY TED MONDALE AND WILLIAM FULTON1 I. INTRODUCTION: MANAGING METROPOLITAN GROWTH PRAGMATICALLY Many debates about whether and how to manage urban growth on a metropolitan or regional level focus on the extremes of laissez-faire capitalism and command-and-control government regulation. This paper proposes an alternative, or "third way," of managing metropolitan growth, one that seeks to steer in between the two extremes, focusing on a pragmatic approach that acknowledges both the market and government policy. Laissez-faire advocates argue that we should leave growth to the markets. If the core cities fail, it is because people don’t want to live, shop, or work there anymore. If the first ring suburbs decline, it is because their day has passed. If exurban areas begin to choke on large-lot, septic- driven subdivisions, it is because that is the lifestyle that people individually prefer. Government policy should be used to accommodate these preferences rather than seek to shape any particular regional growth pattern. Advocates on the other side call for a strong regulatory approach. Their view is that regional and state governments should use their power to engineer precisely where and how local communities should grow for the common good. Among other things, this approach calls for the creation of a strong—even heavy-handed—regional boundary that restricts urban growth to particular geographical areas.

  • Metropolitan Development: Patterns,Problems,Causes, Policy Proposals
    CHAPTER 1 Metropolitan Development: Patterns,Problems,Causes, Policy Proposals Janet Rothenberg Pack The literature on urban development of the past decade (since about the mid-1990s) has been characterized by the introduction of two concepts: “the New Metropolitanism” and “the New Urbanism.” A recent essay refers to the new metropolitanism as a “paradigm shift.”1 Although the term takes on many different meanings, its principal components are “urban sprawl” as the problem and “smart growth” as the solution. Moreover, there are many variations on the definitions of the two com- ponents in the scholarly literature, in the increasing outpouring of gov- ernment studies, in general-interest articles on the subject, and, as will be seen, in the chapters in this volume. Despite the differences, there is, nonetheless, broad agreement on the major themes, however defined— sprawl and smart growth. The New Urbanism is largely about urban design. The organization Congress for the New Urbanism, founded by a group of architects and town planners (http://user.gru.net/domz/charter.htm), emphasizes the design features of new communities. In their introduction to a forum on the New Urbanism, Sohmer and Lang refer to it as “architecture’s answer to our rediscovered urban heritage. New Urbanism models its developments on an eclectic combination of traditional urban neighbor- hoods. Neotraditional building styles and mixed-use, mixed-income, and pedestrian-oriented development are New Urbanism’s defining 1. Katz (2002). 1 2PACK characteristics.”2 The tie between the two—New Metropolitanism and New Urbanism—may be seen in a description by Burchell and his coau- thors of smart growth as “an effort, through the use of public and pri- vate subsidies, to create a supportive environment for refocusing a share of regional growth within central cities and inner suburbs.

  • A Visual Typology of Abandonment in Rural America: from End-Of-Life to Treading Water, Recycling, Renaissance, and Revival
    land Article A Visual Typology of Abandonment in Rural America: From End-of-Life to Treading Water, Recycling, Renaissance, and Revival Jason P. Holcomb 1, Paul Frederic 2 and Stanley D. Brunn 3,* 1 Department of Agricultural Sciences, Morehead State University, Morehead, KY 40351, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Geography and Environmental Planning, University of Maine at Farmington, Farmington, ME 04938, USA; [email protected] 3 Department of Geography, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 28 January 2020; Accepted: 18 March 2020; Published: 23 March 2020 Abstract: The contemporary American rural landscape reflects a mix of ongoing economic changes in agricultural land use, population change, and built environments. The mix depends on past and recent change which represent landscapes of memory and silence to those experiencing economic and demographic renaissance. We develop a typology of five stages that reflect the contemporary rural scene and conduct field transects in Northwest Iowa and Central Maine. Features of the dynamics in rural America are evident in photographs of residences, land use changes, and commercial structure. The study calls for additional studies on rural settlement populations, economies, and society in different environmental settings. Keywords: small town landscapes; rural devolution and evolution; abandonment and renaissance “Beyond the romance of decay stands the hard facts of economic reality” [1] “ ::: the disappearance of rural services is a product of both overarching global social and economic processes, and national and regional factors” [2] “Each human settlement has a life cycle in which there is sometimes an indication of sudden change and novelty” [3] 1.
