  • Megalopolis: Trends and Prospects
    Megalopolis: Trends and Prospects J.R. Short* Introduction Megalopolis is a region spanning 600 miles from north of Richmond in Virginia to just north of Portland in Maine and from the shores of the Northern Atlantic to the Appalachians. Interstate 95 is its spine with major vertebrae at the metropolitan areas of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston. As one vast conurbation that covers 52,000 square miles and contains 49 million people, Megalopolis is the densest urban agglomeration in the US, one of the largest city regions in the world, an important element in the national economy and a vital hub in a globalizing world. This paper is a condensed version of larger study (Short, 2007) and a more detailed analysis (Vicino, Hanlon and Short, 2007). The term megalopolis has an interesting history: it was the name given to a city in Peloponnese founded by Epaminondas around 371-368 BCE. Megalopolis was planned on the grand scale: the city walls formed a circle five miles in circumference. Great things were expected of the city, but it failed to realize the dreams of the founders, and it declined by the late Roman period. The term reemerged in the twentieth century. The Scottish polymath, urban scholar and planner Patrick Geddes (1854-1932) first employed the term in 1927 to designate one of the latter stages in his model of urban decline ranging from Metropolis to Necropolis. Geddes's disciple, the American Lewis Mumford (1895-1990) used the term and further developed the evolutionary model in his 1939 book, The Culture of Cities.

  • Fiscal and Capacity Requirements
    CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR THE GAMING REGULATORY OVERSIGHT AUTHORITY Area 2: Fiscal and Capacity Requirements October 21, 2013 0 Table of Contents 1 Approach By direction of NH RSA 284-A, the New Hampshire Gaming Regulatory Oversight Authority has directed WhiteSand to prepare a report identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the 2013 NH legislative proposals as compared to the best and most relevant components of the regulatory provisions in the other comparator states. This part of the report addresses fiscal and capacity requirements: WhiteSand has approached this particular task using a formal methodology to determine market demand. We reviewed the specific demographics and other attributes of the gaming jurisdiction to be evaluated. This included, but was not limited to, population, income levels, age distribution, nearby competition and gaming tax rates. We evaluated these factors within ranges of 30, 60 and 90 miles of the proposed gaming facility general location. In order to provide a consistent measurement of demographics within a specific region we use distance radii from the region. Using distance rather than driving time eliminates fluctuations due to drive times, day of week, unpredictable events (e.g., accidents, weather, etc.) and other factors. Distance radii are translatable to drive times in most scenarios and provide more consistent results due to the reduction of unpredictability. Using this information, we then identifed a “Competitive Set” for the proposed gaming facility - other gaming properties to be compared based on similar demographics and characteristics. While the properties identified in the competitive set usually do not provide an exact match, they present enough similarities to evaluate market demand and estimate key financial statistics.

  • The Blueprint for American Prosperity
    Southwest Triangle Megapolitan Advanced Industry Status: And the Implications for Las Vegas Robert Lang, PhD Brookings Mountain West and The Lincy Institute What is the Southwest Triangle Megapolitan Cluster? In a 2011 book—Megapolitan America (APA Press)—Arthur C. Nelson and Robert E. Lang developed a spatial model for a Southwest Triangle of proximate large-scale “megapolitan areas.” The region contains three big metropolitan concentrations: Southern California from Los Angeles to San Diego, the Arizona Sun Corridor (Phoenix and Tucson) and Southern Nevada (including northwest Arizona). The Southwest Triangle is now the second largest concentration of urban population in the U.S. after the Northeastern Seaboard from Boston to Washington, DC. Nelson and Lang also compare the Southwest Triangle to the Texas Triangle (Dallas, Houston and San Antonio), arguing that the two regions share similar opportunities in global trade and exchanges of workforce within advanced industries Clustered megapolitan areas are the key urban spaces where the U.S. integrates into the global economy. These regions contain all of the major ports, air links, and most of the nation’s major corporate headquarters, tech Brookings Mountain West 4505 S.

These regions maintain large-scale logistics and supply chain networks. In addition to dense business linkages, the regions also exchange workers and services. For example, a significant share of Southern Nevada’s heath care need is met in Southern California. Southern California and the Sun Corridor also provide advanced industry labor directly to Las Vegas; this includes skilled labor in sectors such as manufacturing and information technology.

  • RAPID CITIES Prototyping Urban Growth
    RAPID CITIES Prototyping Urban Growth Because cities are the funnels through which raw mate- rials and energy flow to create prosperity (and gener- ate waste), environmental problems increasingly boil down to the structure of cities and the way urban dwell- ers’ needs are met. Cities define the global economy… and for most of humanity, living in an innovative, dynamic, well- governed city means the difference between the most marginal existences and poverty alleviation… From population growth to climate emissions, human security to public health, the driving forces of Mona El Khafif the twenty-first century will be defined on the streets of the world’s cities California College of the Arts and made manifest in their communities, infrastructures, and buildings.1 When Jean Gottmann identified the urbanized northeastern seaboard of the United States in his four-year study Megalopolis,2 published in 1961, he argued that the 600-mile-long strip covering the area between Boston and Washington, with 30 million inhabitants, was the beginning of a new order in the organization of urban territories. While Gottmann initially forecasted an exclusively positive future for the newly identified urban condition, he revised his statements in 1975, pointing out that neither governmental institutions nor urban theories were able to handle this emerging dimension of urban aggregations.3 Twenty-three years later, in 1998, MVRDV published FARMA X: Excursions on Density, followed by MetaCity Datatown in 1999.4 Both publications can be understood as a symptom of an unfolding pragmatism in Dutch architecture and urban design, clearly incorporating the limita- tions of natural resources as well as space and making them the drivers of architectural diagrams.

  • BEREITSCHAFT, BRADLEY JAMES FRANK, Ph.D. Urban Form and Air Quality in U.S
    BEREITSCHAFT, BRADLEY JAMES FRANK, Ph.D. Urban Form and Air Quality in U.S. Metropolitan and Megapolitan Areas. (2011) Directed by Dr. Keith Debbage. 390 pp. The spatial form, or morphology, of urban areas may significantly affect the anthropogenic production of air pollutants. This dissertation explores the relationships between air quality and urban form at the metropolitan and megapolitan (multi- metropolitan) scale. Urban form was quantified for 86 metropolitan and 19 megapolitan areas using both pre-existing sprawl indices and multiple spatial metrics derived from remotely sensed landcover data. Air quality was assessed by measuring several key air pollutants, including the ambient concentration of ozone (O3), the non-point source emissions of the two O3 precursors nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the ambient concentration and non-point source emissions of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and coarse particulate matter (PM10), and the mobile emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). The ambient concentrations of air pollutants were averaged over the 5-year period 1998 to 2002. While controlling for industrial emissions, climate, population and geographic area, multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the degree of association between measures of urban form and air quality. The results suggest that urban form has a measurable impact on both the non-point source emission and ambient concentration of air pollution. Urban areas that exhibited more “sprawl-like” urban forms (i.e. lower residential density, less street network connectivity, less contiguous urban development) generally had higher non-point source emissions and/ or ambient concentrations of air pollution. Pre-existing sprawl indices were most significantly associated with ambient concentrations, while two spatial-metrics based measures of urban structure, urban “continuity” and urban “shape complexity,” were most significantly associated with non-point source emissions.
