UNDERSTANDING URBAN DEVELOPMENT THROUGH A SPORT EVENTS PORTFOLIO: A CASE STUDY OF LONDON, ONTARIO (Thesis format: Integrated article) by Richelle Clark Graduate Program in Kinesiology A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts The School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Western University London, Ontario, Canada © Richelle Clark, 2013 Abstract This study investigates the underdeveloped area of event portfolios in an attempt to fill a gap in the existing literature. This research looks at the strategic positioning of events and the critical role they play in local development. In order to understand this, a case study design was performed in a small-medium scale city in Canada. The purpose of the study was to determine how the city has utilized events for broader local development and enhancement of the civic brand. Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with local city actors and document analyses were used to further understand the strategies within the community. The results show that though a city may possess the necessary portfolio components, it is essential that there is an overarching strategy that bridges the pieces of the portfolio for sustainable development. Consequently, we found that sequencing, or the strategic timing of events and political grounds, played a crucial role in this process. Keywords: Event Portfolio; Event Tourism; Portfolio Character; City Branding; Social and Human Capital ii Co-authorship Statement The material presented in this Masters thesis is my original work; however, I would like to acknowledge the important contributions of my advisor, Dr. Laura Misener.

First, I would like to thank my committee members: Dr. Karen Danylchuk and Dr. Michael Heine. Your valuable support and guidance towards this thesis are truly appreciated. Next, I would like to acknowledge my family and friends. My parents Ron and Lynn have been nothing but supportive in me pursuing this degree and I could not have done this without them. Their love and support did not go unnoticed! My academic colleagues/friends who I met and traveled with for school – I could not ask for a better group of friends! Thank you to all who told me I could do this – I did do this! Lastly, I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Laura Misener. I could not ask for a better teacher, mentor, and role model; who always had my best interests at heart. She allowed me to experience once in a lifetime opportunities during my time at Western University. I cannot thank her enough for all of the encouragement and assistance over the past 2 years. iv Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................... ii Co-authorship Statement ................................................................................................... iii Acknowledgements ............................................................................................................ iv List of Tables .................................................................................................................... vii List of Figures .................................................................................................................. viii List of Appendices .............................................................................................................. ix Chapter 1 ............................................................................................................................. 1 Overview of Literature ........................................................................................................ 2 Overview of Methodology ................................................................................................ 10 Reference ........................................................................................................................... 12 Chapter 2 ........................................................................................................................... 15 Integrated Article ............................................................................................................... 15 Clark, R. & Misener, L.

Saskatchewan is rich in natural resources with uranium, oil, potash and farming representing the foundation of the region’s economy.

  • Reading the Urban Form: an Urban Morphological Evaluation of Downtown Sports Facilities In
    Reading the Urban Form: An Urban Morphological Evaluation of Downtown Sports Facilities in London and Hamilton, Ontario Gavin Williamson A Thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Gavin Williamson 2013 Abstract Over the past few decades, the issue of downtown revitalization has been a priority for planners and civic leaders. One strategy of attracting people, jobs and investment to the downtown is by constructing a catalytic facility that facilitates further growth, of which the sports stadium is “by far” the most prevalent example (Coates and Humphreys, 2011; p.5). However, the outcome of downtown stadium development has been inconsistent in cities across North America. The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the built urban form impacts the outcome of downtown sports arenas and whether it contributes to civic image. An urban morphological analysis is conducted in order to evaluate the outcome of two multi-purpose sports arenas: Budweiser Gardens in London, ON and Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, ON. The analysis traces the evolution of both cities’ downtown urban form over time, identifying patterns to development by categorizing the townscape into three elements: the town plan unit (consisting of the street pattern, lot pattern and building pattern), the building fabric and land use. The urban morphological analysis was undertaken utilizing fire insurance maps, tax assessments and planning documents. In addition, a questionnaire was distributed to 200 residents of both case cities in order to gauge each facility's contribution to civic image.
