Lakes Port & Harbor: Infrastructure & Dredging Cost Estimate Matrix Tool
Great Lakes Port & Harbor: Infrastructure & Dredging Cost Estimate Matrix Tool and Duluth, MN/Superior, WI and Toledo, OH Case Studies Gene Clark1 and Dale Bergeron2 1 WI Sea Grant [email protected] 2 MN Sea Grant dbergeron@ d.umn.edu Defining the parameters of the Matrix Great Lakes ports, harbors and marinas are vulnerable to several potential climate change impacts. The two major impacts most relevant and potentially most costly are water level and storm intensity. Both rising and falling water levels can impact infrastructure stability and overall strength, as well as requiring additional channel dredging. A climatic change resulting in an increase in severe storms (more precipitation, higher winds and greater number of storm events) is also viewed as having detrimental affects on infrastructure. More severe storms can create larger waves, more extreme Seiche events and greater storm-surges that can damage port and harbor infrastructure requiring costly rehabilitation or replacement. In addition to infrastructure issues, an increased storm frequency and intensity will increase channel silting and sedimentation, compounding dredging problems analogous to lower water level scenarios. Climate model predictions for specific weather outcomes vary greatly throughout the Great Lakes Basin, and include both higher and lower water levels scenarios. However, all predictions seem to include an increase in both the number and intensity of major storm events. This combination can result in unanticipated water level change, larger waves, more dramatic Seiches and greater storm surges than considered in original design parameters (all of this in addition to the antiquated and sometime dilapidated state of our Great Lakes infrastructure). -
All Aboard: the Aggregate Effects of Port Development
All aboard: The aggregate effects of port development César Ducruet1, Réka Juhász2, Dávid Krisztián Nagy3, and Claudia Steinwender4 1CNRS 2Columbia University 3CREI, Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Barcelona GSE 4MIT Sloan ∗ July 3, 2019 Abstract This paper studies the distributional and aggregate economic effects of new port technologies developed in the second half of the 20th century. We show that new technologies have led to a significant reallocation of shipping activity from large to small cities. This was driven by a land price mechanism; as new port technologies are more land-intensive, ports moved from large, high land price cities to smaller, lower land price ones. We add endogenous port development to a standard quantitative model of cross- city trade to account for both the benefits and the costs of port development. According to the model, the adoption of new port technologies leads to benefits through increasing market access but is costly, requiring the extensive use of land, suggesting a reallocation of shipping activities towards cities with low land prices and thus net gains from new port technologies that are heterogeneous across cities. Counterfactual results suggest that new port technologies led to sizable aggregate gains for the world economy, with substantial heterogeneity in the effects across countries. More generally, accounting for the costs of port infrastructure development endogenously has the potential to alter the size and distribution of the gains from trade. ∗We thank David Atkin, Don Davis, Dave Donaldson, Joseph Doyle, Matt Grant, Gordon Hanson, Tom Holmes, Amit Khandelwal, Jim Rauch, Roberto Rigobon, Esteban Rossi-Hansberg and Tavneet Suri for helpful comments and discussions. -

Lectures 13 to 15 CHAPTER 3: PUBLIC GOODS
Lectures 13 to 15 CHAPTER 3: PUBLIC GOODS 3.1: Public Goods Pure Private to Pure Public Good • Private good consumed only by one person: food, holidays, clothes • Family/household: all collective decisions and no market. ‘Micro- collective’. Share kitchens, TV, bathrooms. • Many families/household: roads and paths, communal halls, clubs etc. Tennis and golf clubs, plus Tidy Towns’ committees for example. ‘Mini- collective’. • Option public goods: fire brigade, hospitals, museums, etc. Provided by state but not used by all. ‘Partial full collective’ • Pure public goods benefit ALL. ‘Full collective’. National security, environment, lakes, sea and mountains. Used by all but to varying degrees. • Exclusion impossible. Raises free-rider problem: e.g. lighthouse, but now excludable. Firework display a good example (see later) • Public goods bring benefits just like private goods: Ui = F(A, B, C, D) • Same supply for ALL: G1=G2=G3= etc. Not same utility though. • Private good, A; same price and utility but different supply • Pure v impure PGs: security v bridge (Fig 3.1) • Fire brigade example (p. 144). Available to all, but only used when needed if ever. Private company would protect only those how had paid. • Public goods v natural monopolies (e.g. electricity or water) but private A fireworks display is a public good because it is non-excludable (impossible to prevent people from viewing it) and non-rivalrous (one individual's use does not reduce availability to others). Voluntary payment (Fig 3.3) • MC curve same as that for private goods (Fig 3.3): n people benefit though from every extra unit. -

Public Goods for Economic Development
Printed in Austria Sales No. E.08.II.B36 V.08-57150—November 2008—1,000 ISBN 978-92-1-106444-5 Public goods for economic development PUBLIC GOODS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR ECONOMIC GOODS PUBLIC This publication addresses factors that promote or inhibit successful provision of the four key international public goods: fi nancial stability, international trade regime, international diffusion of technological knowledge and global environment. Each of these public goods presents global challenges and potential remedies to promote economic development. Without these goods, developing countries are unable to compete, prosper or attract capital from abroad. The undersupply of these goods may affect prospects for economic development, threatening global economic stability, peace and prosperity. The need for public goods provision is also recognized by the Millennium Development Goals, internationally agreed goals and targets for knowledge, health, governance and environmental public goods. Because of the characteristics of public goods, leaving their provision to market forces will result in their under provision with respect to socially desirable levels. Coordinated social actions are therefore necessary to mobilize collective response in line with socially desirable objectives and with areas of comparative advantage and value added. International public goods for development will grow in importance over the coming decades as globalization intensifi es. Corrective policies hinge on the goods’ properties. There is no single prescription; rather, different kinds of international public goods require different kinds of policies and institutional arrangements. The Report addresses the nature of these policies and institutions using the modern principles of collective action.

ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: RE-WEAVING THE URBAN FABRIC: A NEW MIDTOWN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA Abigail Buckley Cronin, Master of Architecture, 2005 Thesis Directed by: Professor Roger K. Lewis School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation American cities have been struggling with suburban sprawl and urban flight for the last fifty years. With rising costs, lengthening commutes, limited resources and shrinking open land, many residents are reconsidering life outside the city. If communities are to reevaluate their settlement patterns and look to new life in the urban center, to what extent can urban design and architecture re-weave and revive a once thriving district on the verge of collapse? Downtown Newport News has witnessed an urban flight, leaving the city abandoned and deteriorating. This thesis will propose to reconnect midtown with the Parkside community to provide public amenity, increased access, and future growth potential, serving as a prototype for development within Newport News and beyond. A variety of housing options will be explored, with the premise that instead of providing only parking for the shipyard, the city should provide housing options, close to work and other amenities that can result from a dynamic urban waterfront community RE-WEAVING THE URBAN FABRIC: A NEW MIDTOWN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA by Abigail Buckley Cronin Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirements -

Ships, Welcome to Newport News, where the James River ends and vacation memories begin! Legend has it that Newport News was probably named after English sea captain Christopher Newport, whose Contents three-ship fleet landed in Jamestown in 1607. English colonists began settling in what is now Newport News as The Mariners’ Museum early as 1622. Newport News, about 70 square miles in size, has a population of approximately 180,000. The city’s location History, in southeastern Virginia means we’re less than 400 miles from many major U.S. cities, including New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. This will be a year of celebrations for Newport News. We’ll be commemorating the 100th anniversary of Historic Hilton Village; Fort Eustis will mark its centennial in 2018; and Pearl Bailey, a Newport News native, would be turning 100 in March if she were alive today. To round out our list of celebrations, Newport News Restaurant Week will observe its fifth year with five price points in celebration of five successful years!

“The Village Beautiful”
“THE VILLAGE BEAUTIFUL” What got constructed… What didn’t get built… What else got erected… Introduction… “The Village Beautiful” was a slogan adopted by the Hilton Civic League when it was organized in 1919. The story of Hilton Village’s rapid construction the year before is well documented elsewhere and is also nicely summarized by this historical marker, located near the intersection of Warwick Boulevard and Main Street. Less well known is what was originally contemplated…and what was not…in the concept’s innovative design. Several major features of the master plan for Hilton Village were never realized. Others were modified during and shortly after the 1918 construction period. Plus, there were also a few unplanned additions made during this bedroom community’s first few years. Over the nine-plus decades of Hilton Village’s existence, many far-reaching changes have been realized, resulting in a somewhat eclectic mix of structures. The original homes, both modified and unchanged, still stand, for the most part. But they are now surrounded by numerous businesses and public service facilities. All together, Hilton now exhibits a wide range of architectural styles never contemplated by the Village’s planners and architects. The following pages provide a descriptive overview of the portions of the original master plan that were realized, plus a discussion of several additions, modifications and deletions that were made during the community’s first decade. 2 What was planned… The original plan for Hilton Village, which was at first referred to as ‘an industrial housing development’ included much more than just residences, as many housing projects just did that were later created.
