  • Une «Flamandisation» De Bruxelles?
    Une «flamandisation» de Bruxelles? Alice Romainville Université Libre de Bruxelles RÉSUMÉ Les médias francophones, en couvrant l'actualité politique bruxelloise et à la faveur des (très médiatisés) «conflits» communautaires, évoquent régulièrement les volontés du pouvoir flamand de (re)conquérir Bruxelles, voire une véritable «flamandisation» de la ville. Cet article tente d'éclairer cette question de manière empirique à l'aide de diffé- rents «indicateurs» de la présence flamande à Bruxelles. L'analyse des migrations entre la Flandre, la Wallonie et Bruxelles ces vingt dernières années montre que la population néerlandophone de Bruxelles n'est pas en augmentation. D'autres éléments doivent donc être trouvés pour expliquer ce sentiment d'une présence flamande accrue. Une étude plus poussée des migrations montre une concentration vers le centre de Bruxelles des migrations depuis la Flandre, et les investissements de la Communauté flamande sont également, dans beaucoup de domaines, concentrés dans le centre-ville. On observe en réalité, à défaut d'une véritable «flamandisation», une augmentation de la visibilité de la communauté flamande, à la fois en tant que groupe de population et en tant qu'institution politique. Le «mythe de la flamandisation» prend essence dans cette visibilité accrue, mais aussi dans les réactions francophones à cette visibilité. L'article analyse, au passage, les différentes formes que prend la présence institutionnelle fla- mande dans l'espace urbain, et en particulier dans le domaine culturel, lequel présente à Bruxelles des enjeux particuliers. MOTS-CLÉS: Bruxelles, Communautés, flamandisation, migrations, visibilité, culture ABSTRACT DOES «FLEMISHISATION» THREATEN BRUSSELS? French-speaking media, when covering Brussels' political events, especially on the occasion of (much mediatised) inter-community conflicts, regularly mention the Flemish authorities' will to (re)conquer Brussels, if not a true «flemishisation» of the city.

  • Shanghai, China's Capital of Modernity
    SHANGHAI, CHINA’S CAPITAL OF MODERNITY: THE PRODUCTION OF SPACE AND URBAN EXPERIENCE OF WORLD EXPO 2010 by GARY PUI FUNG WONG A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOHPY School of Government and Society Department of Political Science and International Studies The University of Birmingham February 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines Shanghai’s urbanisation by applying Henri Lefebvre’s theories of the production of space and everyday life. A review of Lefebvre’s theories indicates that each mode of production produces its own space. Capitalism is perpetuated by producing new space and commodifying everyday life. Applying Lefebvre’s regressive-progressive method as a methodological framework, this thesis periodises Shanghai’s history to the ‘semi-feudal, semi-colonial era’, ‘socialist reform era’ and ‘post-socialist reform era’. The Shanghai World Exposition 2010 was chosen as a case study to exemplify how urbanisation shaped urban experience. Empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews. This thesis argues that Shanghai developed a ‘state-led/-participation mode of production’.

  • Conceptualizing Mega-Event Flagships—A Case Study Of
    Frontiers of Architectural Research (2013) 2, 107–115 Available online at www.sciencedirect.com www.elsevier.com/locate/foar CASE STUDY Conceptualizing mega-event flagships—A case study of China Pavilion of Expo 2010 Shanghai China Ying Dengn Department of Civil Engineering, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China Received 28 August 2012; received in revised form 30 October 2012; accepted 12 November 2012 KEYWORDS Abstract Mega-event flagship; Mega-event flagship (MEF) is a dual instrument for staging a mega-event and catalyzing regional Case study; urban renewal. Despite its unfailing popularity and controversial nature, many initiators seem Conceptualize; to equate MEF development with signature architecture, resulting in a persistent issue of China Pavilion; underuse among MEFs in the post-event era. Although research findings indicate that the early Expo 2010 Shanghai stages hold the key to the future of MEFs, insufficient research on this crucial matter has been China; done to provide useful analyses as to how to achieve this. To rectify this, this paper presents a Clustering case study of China Pavilion (CP) as the most spotlighted MEF initiated by Expo 2010 Shanghai China. Through participant observation, archival records, and documentation, the case of CP was extensively explored to learn how the client organization has addressed the issues of form, function, and future positioning at the early stages. By linking the pre-Expo conceptualization with its post-Expo performance, the case brings a renewed attention to the early stages of MEF development. Although it is a single-case study, this research yields results that indicate the possibility of having beneficial spillover impact on broader-scale urban renewal by balancing an MEF’s dual mandate.

  • Vermont History Expo Photographs and News
    Vermont History Expo Photograph & News Media Collection, 2000-2012 FB-79 Introduction This collection contains selected newspaper and magazine articles, professional and amateur photographs, and slides of the Vermont History Expo during the years 2000 through 2012. It is housed in two document storage boxes and three archival storage boxes (3.25 linear feet). The core of the collection was transferred to the VHS Library by Sandra Levesque, Expo Coordinator working under contract to the VHS, in 2007. The remainder of the materials have been added from VHS office files. Organizational Sketch The Vermont Historical Society began hosting the Vermont History Expo at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds in Tunbridge, Vermont, for one weekend each June beginning in 2000. The event featured displays by participating local historical societies, museums, historical organizations, period crafters, demonstrators, and re-enactors. In addition there were historic presentations and speakers, musicians, heirloom animal displays and presentations, an authors’ tent, parade, and country auction. Thousands attended the weekend-long event which was held annually until 2008; the event resumed as a biannual event in 2010. The event had its genesis in the Heritage Weekend sponsored by the Cabot Creamery and the Vermont Historical Society in 1999. This event, an open house of historical societies in Washington and Orange Counties for one weekend in June, grew into the Vermont History Expo the following year. Sandra Levesque was the coordinator hired by the VHS to run the event between 1999 and 2006. The Expo event was preceded by a series of workshops for local historical societies on how to create effective displays.

April 26, 1988 DE-6 (2/88) i i ABSTRACT This study proposes a strategy which will assist governments, the sponsors of hallmark events, and community groups to identify and plan for the negative housing impacts of such events. Hallmark events are major one-time or recurring : events of limited duration, developed primarily to enhance the awareness, appeal and profitability of a tourist destination in the short and/or long term. World's Fairs and Olympic Games are two examples of hallmark events. The 1986 World's Fair (Expo 86) in Vancouver provided an opportunity to document the impacts of this hallmark event on the residents of a community which borders the fair site and on the planning practices of the local government.

  • Staff Report
    STAFF REPORT May 11, 2006 To: Policy and Finance Committee and Economic Development and Parks Committee From: TEDCO/Toronto 2015 World Expo Corporation, Deputy City Managers and Chief Financial Officer Subject: Toronto 2015 World Expo Bid (All Wards) Purpose: The purpose of this report is to advise City Council on the results of the due dilligence undertaken by TEDCO and its subsidiary, Toronto World Expo Corporation; to recommend that City Council support a bid; to request the Government of Canada submit a bid to the Bureau International des Exposition (BIE) to host a World Expo in Toronto in 2015; and to direct the DCM/CFO, the City Solcitor and the Toronto World Expo Coporation to seek an agreement with other levels of government on a finanicial guarantee, capital funding framework, and a corporate governance structure. Financial Implications and Impact Statement: If Toronto’s bid is successful, the financial and economic consultant to the Toronto 2015 World Expo Corporation, Price Waterhouse Coopers, forecasts that hosting the World Expo will result in the proposed World Expo Corporation incurring an overall deficit of $700 million after $1.5 billion of legacy capital assets are included as shown in Table 1. The approach and methodology used by Price Waterhouse Coopers appears reasonable, although Finance staff have not had an opportunity to fully review their detailed, comprehensive study. - 2 - Table 1 - Capital and Operating Summary of the World Expo Corporation ($2006 Billions) World Expo Corporation Capital Summary: Capital Expenditures (2.8) Sale of Assets 0.1 Total Capital Costs (2.7) World Expo Corporation Operating Summary: Operating Expenditures (1.0) Financing Costs (0.6) Operating Revenues 1.3 Funding from Other Expo Revenues 0.8 Total Operating Profit 0.5 World Expo Corporation Estimated Net Expo Deficit (including Legacy (2.2) Expenditures) Residual Legacy Capital Assets 1.5 Overall Deficit (0.7) Price Waterhouse Coopers Waterhouse’s forecast includes total estimated capital expenditures of $2.8 billion.
