All rights reserved. Regional Workshop III Portland August 18, 2011 Online Survey Early September 2011 Report Released October 13, 2011 The Preservation Roundtable was organized by Restore Oregon, formerly the Historic Preservation League of Oregon, to bring together diverse stakeholders to analyze and develop solutions to the underlying issues that stymie preservation efforts. The inaugural topic in 2010 was “Healthy Historic Districts in a Changing World—Compatibility and Viability.” Nearly one hundred people participated, arriving at nine recommendations published in a report titled Healthy Historic Districts – Solutions to Preserve and Revitalize Oregon’s Historic Downtowns. An electronic copy is available on Restore Oregon’s website. The 2011 Preservation Roundtable focused in on “Design Standards for Compatible Infill,” one of the recommendations from the 2010 report, to provide clarity and consistency for review of new construction projects in historic districts. The principles and approaches to implementation that follow come from the best source: the people that live, work, own property, govern, and build within the state’s 123 National Register historic districts.

  • The Development of Copycat Towns in China: an Analysis of Their Economic, Social, and Environmental Implications Working Paper WP17DS1
    The Development of Copycat Towns in China: An Analysis of Their Economic, Social, and Environmental Implications Working Paper WP17DS1 Daniel Sui Ohio State University Bo Zhao Oregon State University Hui Kong Ohio State University October 2017 The findings and conclusions of this Working Paper reflect the views of the author(s) and have not been subject to a detailed review by the staff of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Contact the Lincoln Institute with questions or requests for permission to reprint this paper. [email protected] © 2017 Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Abstract The great urban leap forward in China during the past four decades has dramatically transformed the Chinese landscape across the country as well as Chinese society in many profound ways. By situating the development of xenophilic copycat towns under the broader context of China’s four urban design and development motifs, this report presents an initial study of copycat/shanzhai towns in China through a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach. The qualitative data gathered through on-site interviews and observations reveal multiple unique and local circumstances for the development of these copycat towns while the quantitative analysis and mapping using big data analytics shed light for the first time on the national trend of this phenomena and its manifestations in the local real estate market. Furthermore, the way in which the development of copycat towns still follows the basic laws of supply and demand and market forces should be taken into full consideration. Most of the successful copycat towns covered in this report are either located near a large city, or have convenient transportation infrastructure that makes them accessible from nearby city centers.

  • Cold Summer Soups Written By: Eat Well Chef Ilana Soup Season! You May Think I’M Crazy, After All This 90+ Degree Weather
    Watertown Farmers’ Market Culinary Corner July 29, 2020 Welcome to Eat Well Watertown’s Culinary Corner! Each week, we’ll feature Watertown Farmers Market products and vendors. We’ll offer nutritional and culinary tips, and recipes for you to experiment with. We hope that you’ll be encouraged to try new or unfamiliar vegetables and fruits, and we’ll help you pair them with meats and fish from the Farmers Market walkway. Cold Summer Soups Written By: Eat Well Chef Ilana Soup season! You may think I’m crazy, after all this 90+ degree weather. But hear me out about cold soup. These no-cook soups are a perfect way to keep yourself and your kitchen cool, while serving tasty meals, and getting in all your daily fruit and vegetable servings.* Gazpacho You’ll think immediately of Gazpacho, the traditional tomato-based Spanish classic. Gazpacho couldn’t be simpler – it’s like making liquid salsa. Start with 2 pounds fresh field-ripened tomatoes (now available at Dick’s stand), and add 1 large peeled cucumber, a sweet green pepper, one onion (the new white onions now in season are perfect), a clove or two of garlic, and a small jalapeno pepper (flesh only until you see how hot it is; add white part and seeds if you’re feeling adventurous). Chop everything roughly, then pulse in a blender or food processor until it’s the consistency you like, pour into a serving bowl, and add tomato juice or V-8 to make it a soup consistency (If you puree all the veggies, you may not need the juice).
