PARKS OF THE HIGH LINE 17 Promenade Plantée and Viaduc des Arts 18 New York City High Line 23 Analysis 28 Chapter 5. ANALYSIS 30 Conclusion 35 REFERNCES 36 pg. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The objective of this dissertation is a research of existing examples of former urban railway corridors defined as high lines, successfully reclaimed and transformed to become a recreational open space. Through detailed analysis of two prime examples including Parisian Promenade Plantée and New York City High Line, the aim is to investigate and define the best model for the successful delivery of recently proposed Sydney Harbour HighLine. The aim is to establish a theory that adopted urban high lines are drivers behind economic growth, provide countless benefits to the society and work in harmony with the environment and cultural heritage. This dissertation seeks answers to the following questions: Is there a future for the Sydney Harbour HighLine? Will the revitalisation of Lavender Bay railway line become an elevated challenge or an opportunity? This dissertation has been presented in five chapters. The first chapter begins with an exploration of the unsustainable rate of rapid urbanization and its impact on the environment we live in.

  • Urban Issues and Challenges
    Paper 2 Challenges in the human environment Section A: Urban issues and challenges Small Things – Quick Wins! • 1 mark = 1 minute • Check the command word and the marks available • Describe (4 marks) = give 4 points • Explain (4 marks) = give 2 points and explain each (P E E) • 6 mark questions – These will often require you to argue both sides of an issue. Start with a bold statement that answers the question. Then explain (P E E). Then use a good connective (e.g. ‘However…’) to give the opposing view. • 9 mark questions – There will be 2 of these on each exam. Some will have 3 SPAG marks attached. Plan them carefully. • If it’s about a specific place/event make sure your refer to this in your opening sentence (e.g.. Rio de Janeiro, a city on the East coast of Brazil…) • Then think about writing 3 paragraphs 1. Arguments for one side 2. Arguments for the other side 3. A conclusion where you answer the question – make sure you substantiate it with a key piece of evidence that you are basing it on (E.g.. I think the challenges in Rio de Janeiro outweigh the opportunities. A key reason is that 25% of people live in favelas. This is more important than… because…) • Some questions will ask you to look at a figure (a map, graph, photo etc.). Make sure your answer starts with ‘In figure X I can see…’ • SPAG doesn’t just affect the 9 mark questions. They way you communicate information throughout the 4-6 marks questions can determine what level they achieve.

  • Hard Play: Capoeira and the Politics of Inequality in Rio De Janeiro
    HARD PLAY: CAPOEIRA AND THE POLITICS OF INEQUALITY IN RIO DE JANEIRO KATYA WESOLOWSKI Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2007 © 2007 Katya Wesolowski All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Hard Play: Capoeira and the Politics of Inequality in Rio de Janeiro Katya Wesolowski Capoeira is a game of physical dexterity and cunning that incorporates fight, dance, acrobatics and music. Developed by African slaves in Brazil and once an exclusively male domain, capoeira was viewed as a social threat and severely persecuted through the 19th century. By the mid 20th century capoeira had come to be celebrated as an element of national identity, and today the practice crosses class, ethnic, gender and national boundaries. Among its myriad definitions, capoeira is conceived of as “play”: two participants “play” in a ring, or roda, surrounded by other participants and accompanied by percussive music and singing. Interaction oscillates between playful cooperation and aggressive confrontation as partner-adversaries attempt to outmaneuver each other, claim space, and demonstrate greater corporal expression, intelligence and creativity. A bounded ritual space, the roda is also contiguous with the external world, as is evident in claims that skills learned in the roda carry into everyday life. This ethnographic study, based on two years of fieldwork in Rio de Janeiro and my ongoing involvement as a practitioner, approaches capoeira as embodied play and a social practice that constitutes a particular type of engagement with the world: cultivating intelligent, expressive bodies through training and play, and forging collective identities and fictive kinship ties through group affiliation, practitioners become “capoeiristas,” and in so doing reshape themselves and their relationships to their environment and people within it.

  • Packaging Poverty: Tourism, Violence, and the Politics of Space in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
    PACKAGING POVERTY: TOURISM, VIOLENCE, AND THE POLITICS OF SPACE IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL BY TOMI O’NEIL TUSIA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Ellen Moodie, Chair Professor Alejandro Lugo Associate Professor Martin Manalansan Associate Professor Laura Graham, University of Iowa Abstract Based on ethnographic field research with tourists, residents, and community activists in/of Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on participant-observation at Rio de Janeiro’s State Ministry of Tourism, and on critical analysis of popular discourse and of federal and state urban planning policies and programs, this dissertation explores the packaging of poverty in Rio de Janeiro. It examines how particular kinds of spaces are produced, maintained, and offered up for tourist consumption, and it interrogates the connections between macro-level decision-making and micro-level practices in order to understand how and why “poverty tourism” arose and flourishes in Brazil. I argue that “poverty tourism” is neither accidental nor inconsequential, but rather that the relegation of the urban poor to the status of tourist attraction is intimately tied to the operations of class exploitation, problematic, and segregationist, spatial management policies, violent racism, and a linguistically enacted politics of hierarchical othering. ii Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the support of countless individuals. At the University of Illinois, I am especially indebted to Dr. Ellen Moodie, and to her I would like to express my deepest gratitude.

  • The Oregonian Portland to Create
    The Oregonian Portland to create ‘equitable mobility’ task force to investigate how to charge people to use local roads By Andrew Theen July 10, 2019 Portland City Council approved a plan Wednesday to study short-and-long-term strategies to charge people to use city streets, an effort intended to reduce congestion and curb carbon emissions as the region expects as many as 500,000 new residents by 2040. The city will create a Pricing for Equitable Mobility task force to study and recommend potential road user fees – such as cordons, where drivers are charged to use certain streets in the city center or potentially more robust freeway tolls in the area. The task force will meet later this year and is expected to offer initial recommendations in summer 2020 and final recommendations in the spring of 2021. Commissioner Chloe Eudaly, who oversees the transportation bureau, said the city must take bold steps to try and get people out of their cars. “We are going the wrong direction on transportation,” she said, adding that 42% of Portland’s carbon emissions come from transportation sources. Portland and Multnomah County have the goal of transitioning 100% to renewable energy sources by 2050. What strategies are on the table are still up for debate, but likely options include cordon pricing, a potential fee for Uber and Lyft fares, more demand-based parking pricing, and potentially a local fee to charge drivers based on how many miles they drive. The vote comes nearly two years after the council urged the city to create a comprehensive congestion pricing and demand strategy.

Although these dates were used as guidelines, a few buildings in this study fall outside this time frame. The document encompasses commercial, institutional, and residential buildings that were designed as part of the Modern Movement; the research does not include buildings from the time period that are not considered modern by the definitions established in the study. The intention was to develop a context study that would provide the background information necessary to begin to identify significant buildings from this period and genre: “A thorough understanding of historic contexts for resources that have achieved significance in the past 50 years is essential for their evaluation. In evaluating and justifying exceptional importance, it is especially critical to identify the properties in a geographical area that portray the same values or associations and determine those that best illustrate or represent the architectural, cultural or historical values being considered.

BANKSY, THE GENIUS OF GRAFFITI, COMES TO TOWN E DITORIAL BAD MEDICINE FROM THE MEDIA Illnesses range from mild to severe and even death. Hospitalisation and death occur mainly among high-risk groups. World- wide, these epidemics are estimated to result in 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness and 290,000 to 650,000 respiratory deaths (annually). No, this is not a projection on what the coronavirus will do to humanity. This is a quote from the website of the World Health Organisation about seasonal influenza. To put all of this into context, let’s take a look at where we were when this edition of The Budapest Times went to press. We had about 110,000 confirmed cases and about 3800 deaths. In case you’re not getting my point, what I’m trying to say is this: stop the madness! I understand that you are worried, espe- cially if you or any of your loved ones are members of high-risk groups (children, the elderly or people with pre-existing conditions), but then again you should be worried for pretty much the same reasons about the flu every year. And you probably aren’t. So why worry now? I tell you why: the media.
