What kind of culture if any has been created by Architourism and is it authen c or inauthen c. What kinds of developments have occurred there recently and what has this done to boost or change the local community. In the 2010 census the city of Dallas saw less than a one percent increase in its total popula on while Ft Worth increased by more than 38%. Did Architourism play a role in this? If so, what? Our analysis will begin with researching the demographics of the local users and types of tourists, their income level, race, educa on and loca on of residency. We will also include looking into the histories of selected sites with respect to their economies, culture, tourist ac vi es, and rela onship to the built environment.

    Dallas Urban Heat Management Study Dallas Urban Heat Management Study 1 Dallas 2017 Urban Heat Management Study A regional climate and health assessment conducted by the Urban Climate Lab of the Georgia Institute of Technology for the Texas Trees Foundation Dallas Urban Heat Management Study 1 Forward Urban forests create healthy communities and trees are two times more effective at mitigating the challenges of urban heat than other identified strategies.Tree are consid- ered an important part of our communities’ infrastructure and provide many economic, social, environmental, and health benefits when properly placed, planted, and maintained. The City of Dallas is a thriving metropolitan area and BIG things happen in Dallas. But Dallas is facing a big, HOT, and dangerous challenge! The City of Dallas, with 386 square miles, is the 9th largest city in the country and according to Dr. Brian Stone, author and Professor with the School of City and Regional Planning of the Georgia Institute of Tech- nology, Dallas is heating up faster than any other large city in the country, except for Lou- isville, Kentucky, and Phoenix, Arizona. Why? There is more than 35% impervious sur- face in the city and not even the 23,464 parkland acres nor the great Trinity Forest provide enough shade to lower ambient air temperatures and mitigate the urban heat island effect. The Dallas Urban Heat Management Study shows the extent to which the City of Dallas is warming due to urban development and estimates to what extent rising temperatures will have an impact on public health. This study is one of the largest urban heat assess- ments in the US, with data from more than 4,000 points across the city, and models heat exposure and the potential impact from various heat management strategies.
