  • Columbus Landmarks Foundation “The Spirit of Neighborhoods: Culture Walks” Quarterly Grant Application Narrative
    Columbus Landmarks Foundation “The Spirit of Neighborhoods: Culture Walks” Quarterly Grant Application Narrative 1.What do you plan to do? Columbus Landmarks Foundation (CLF) in collaboration with Columbus Public Health (CPH) will create a pilot program, “The Spirit of Neighborhoods: Culture Walks,” to supplement their existing Art Walks & Landmark Talks walking program. The Culture Walks will document, interpret, and convey the heritage and culture of four smaller neighborhoods within the larger neighborhoods of Near East, Near South, Merion Village, and Highland West. The Culture Walks will be based on stories and history from local residents. Humanities scholars will help to create a broad framework of nationally significant themes (i.e. Industrialization, immigration, urbanization, migration, etc.), providing context to understand local history and residents’ individual experiences. Both CLF staff and local residents will host the Culture Walks, the culminating activity, for a larger general audience in early fall 2017. Each tour will be 90- minutes in length, as opposed to the regular 60-minute weekday Arts Walk tours and will be held on a weekend afternoon in autumn 2017 at the convenience of the neighborhood. Each of the four neighborhoods represents a diverse and varied history in the development of the city and because of its geographic location. All are affected by opportunities and displacements, crossroads and boundaries—the National Road, Route 23, railroads, land grants, annexations, redlining or restrictive covenants. Nineteenth and early twentieth century settlement patterns continue to affect neighborhood thinking even after collective memory fails. Immigration, urbanization, industrialization, migration often deals with difficult or painful history, especially in neighborhoods that have been marginalized by segregation and discrimination.

  • Columbus Rail Today
    ColumbusA Timeline to Multi-Modal TransportationRail Today DRAFT ColumbusA Timeline to Multi-Modal TransportationRail Today CHAD D. GIBSON, PROFESSOR KNOWLTON SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY DESIGN BY WILL HUGHEN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Columbus, Ohio is the largest city in the United States without passenger rail service. Recognizing this as a key factor to Columbus’ ability to compete with other cities for business and residents, Mayor Michael Coleman challenged the city to connect downtown to Port Columbus by passenger rail in his 2014 State of the City address. Following this charge, the Jobs, Expansion and Transportation Task Force was assembled to find ways to maximize Columbus’ assets and turn it into a world-class city. It quickly became apparent that Columbus cannot become a world-class city without a world-class transportation system. Cities across the country have been increasingly turning to fixed-guideway transit systems such as light rail to serve their citizens’ mobility needs and attract business and development to their urban cores. This has been happening in the context of a wider trend of reurbanization, which Columbus has also undergone. The experience of cities throughout the nation has shown that successful light rail transit is best utilized in dense corridors, which Columbus has been cultivating for over a decade. Port Columbus is a tremendous asset to the city’s transportation infrastructure, but it lacks connectivity with the rest of the city. While the Broad Street corridor could provide service to the airport via Seltzer Road, the existing development patterns are less attractive for light rail projects than is the High Street corridor, where a relatively short line could serve a dense collection of neighborhoods with strong connectivity within the fabric of the city.

  • 15 Years of Research, More Than 30 Studies
    Greater Columbus Arts Council Ticket Fee Proposal to Columbus City Council The Greater Columbus Arts Council’s Ticket Fee proposal is for a 7% fee on admissions and tickets in the city of Columbus, with 70 percent of the funds to be reinvested by the Arts Council back into the community in the form of grants to nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and artists, and 30 percent used for critically needed capital improvements for Nationwide Arena, a public facility in the center of a major Columbus business and residential neighborhood. Two key exemptions recommended by the Arts Council after holding a series of public forums include: Tickets and admissions priced $10 and under at for-profit and nonprofit live arts and sports venues. Live performances and events at for-profit and nonprofit venues with occupancy of 400 or less. The full details of the proposal and accompanying research can be found at: www.gcac.org/impact-of-the-arts/columbus-ticket-fee-proposal/ This proposal is good for the city and people of Columbus because: Non-profit arts and culture and professional sports and entertainment attractions are major reasons Columbus has grown and thrived as a premier community. These dynamic sectors are responsible for thousands of jobs, billions in economic benefits, endless opportunities for children and families, and critical energy for our quality of life. But, additional public investment is needed to prevent the erosion of quality offerings and facilities for these two vital sectors – and to keep them working to produce all the economic, educational and quality-of-life benefits for our community.

    “Is This a Real Neighborhood?”: Universities, Urban Development, and Neighborhood Change in the Twentieth Century United States A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Ellen L. Manovich IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Donna Gabaccia, Steven Ruggles May 2016 © Ellen Manovich 2016 Acknowledgements The first place I truly felt at home in Minnesota was on the waters of the Mississippi River, where the University of Minnesota Women’s rowing team welcomed me as a graduate student athlete. Even though the NCAA eventually blocked my participation in competition, I owe my thanks to those students and coaches for giving me a training and competitive home, for helping me pursue my athletic as well as my academic goals, for orienting me to campus, and for telling me kindly about the apparel needed to row in Minnesota (“My hands and feet are so cold!” “Welcome to Minnesota. You need woolen socks and pogies.”) I spent much of my first years at Minnesota as an itinerant, scrambling up the banks of the Mississippi, dragging my bike up the hill and across the river to the west side of campus, striding across the skyways and through the tunnels between the History department and the Minnesota Population Center. In other words, I am fortunate to have had many homes, personal and academic, on- and off- campus. For funding and office space throughout my time in graduate school, I thank the Minnesota Population Center, where I served as grad RA and doctoral fellow, and the History department, where I worked as a TA and an instructor.
