The students essentially form a consulting group that works with a community client to identify issues and execute a work plan. The Workshop aims to provide students with an opportunity to apply their planning studies to a real world situation, as well as to offer a community service. Last fall, just about the time that I needed to find a class project for the Workshop, I wound up in a carpool with Belinda Ray, president of the East Bayside Neighborhood Organization. As we were driving upstate to canvas for a presidential campaign, a sense of hope and expectation infused our conversation as we talked about the possibility for a better country and world.

  • Gateway to the Forest City? Portland, Maine’S Bayside Neighborhood, 1866-2014
    Gateway to the Forest City? Portland, Maine’s Bayside Neighborhood, 1866-2014 Alexander J. Tougas Bowdoin College Introduction: Trouble in the Forest City Ever since Portland officials created Bayside out of earth and rubble in the 1850s, they have made changes to its physical landscape with limited, if any, resident participation in the process. Bayside, a small, urban neighborhood on the fringe of Portland, Maine’s downtown, has never been deemed worthy of deliberate planning efforts that engaged the entire community, and has become both an environmentally- and socially-marginalized area. Now, however, the city has proposed a new development known as Midtown, a large-scale project consisting of four towers and two parking garages, for West Bayside (the western half of the neighborhood). Based on research I conducted on the social and environmental history of Bayside, I argue that in order to avoid the mistakes of the past, those who seek to change Bayside’s landscape today must acknowledge the neighborhood’s multifaceted history and include residents of all types in the Midtown project and other plans for the neighborhood’s future. This strategy will enable Bayside to transcend the public perception that the neighborhood is only home to undesirable people and industry. This essay draws from my Undergraduate Honors Thesis at Bowdoin College1 in which I focus on the intersection of nature and history, especially in urban places. Given the proximity of Portland to Bowdoin’s campus, it made for an excellent case study. The fact that Portland is at an environmental and social crossroads, and that I would be able to analyze how the city got to where it is and how it could move forward, intrigued me.
