Une «Flamandisation» De Bruxelles?
Une «flamandisation» de Bruxelles? Alice Romainville Université Libre de Bruxelles RÉSUMÉ Les médias francophones, en couvrant l'actualité politique bruxelloise et à la faveur des (très médiatisés) «conflits» communautaires, évoquent régulièrement les volontés du pouvoir flamand de (re)conquérir Bruxelles, voire une véritable «flamandisation» de la ville. Cet article tente d'éclairer cette question de manière empirique à l'aide de diffé- rents «indicateurs» de la présence flamande à Bruxelles. L'analyse des migrations entre la Flandre, la Wallonie et Bruxelles ces vingt dernières années montre que la population néerlandophone de Bruxelles n'est pas en augmentation. D'autres éléments doivent donc être trouvés pour expliquer ce sentiment d'une présence flamande accrue. Une étude plus poussée des migrations montre une concentration vers le centre de Bruxelles des migrations depuis la Flandre, et les investissements de la Communauté flamande sont également, dans beaucoup de domaines, concentrés dans le centre-ville. On observe en réalité, à défaut d'une véritable «flamandisation», une augmentation de la visibilité de la communauté flamande, à la fois en tant que groupe de population et en tant qu'institution politique. Le «mythe de la flamandisation» prend essence dans cette visibilité accrue, mais aussi dans les réactions francophones à cette visibilité. L'article analyse, au passage, les différentes formes que prend la présence institutionnelle fla- mande dans l'espace urbain, et en particulier dans le domaine culturel, lequel présente à Bruxelles des enjeux particuliers. MOTS-CLÉS: Bruxelles, Communautés, flamandisation, migrations, visibilité, culture ABSTRACT DOES «FLEMISHISATION» THREATEN BRUSSELS? French-speaking media, when covering Brussels' political events, especially on the occasion of (much mediatised) inter-community conflicts, regularly mention the Flemish authorities' will to (re)conquer Brussels, if not a true «flemishisation» of the city. -

The World's Columbian Exposition: Idea, Experience, Aftermath
The World's Columbian Exposition: Idea, Experience, Aftermath Julie Kirsten Rose Morgan Hill, California B.A., San Jose State University, 1993 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of English University of Virginia August 1996 L IV\CLslerI s E~A-3 \ ~ \qa,(c, . R_to{ r~ 1 COLOPHON AND DEDICATION This thesis was conceived and produced as a hypertextual project; this print version exists solely to complete the request and requirements of department of Graduate Arts and Sciences. To experience this work as it was intended, please point your World Wide Web browser to: http:/ /xroads.virginia.edu/ ~MA96/WCE/title.html Many thanks to John Bunch for his time and patience while I created this hypertextual thesis, and to my advisor Alan Howard for his great suggestions, support, and faith.,.I've truly enjoyed this year-long adventure! I'd like to dedicate this thesis, and my work throughout my Master's Program in English/ American Studies at the University of Virginia to my husband, Craig. Without his love, support, encouragement, and partnership, this thesis and degree could not have been possible. 1 INTRODUCTION The World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, was the last and the greatest of the nineteenth century's World's Fairs. Nominally a celebration of Columbus' voyages 400 years prior, the Exposition was in actuality a reflection and celebration of American culture and society--for fun, edification, and profit--and a blueprint for life in modem and postmodern America. -

Department of Canrnurrity and Regional Planning The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada na. April 26, 1988 DE-6 (2/88) i i ABSTRACT This study proposes a strategy which will assist governments, the sponsors of hallmark events, and community groups to identify and plan for the negative housing impacts of such events. Hallmark events are major one-time or recurring : events of limited duration, developed primarily to enhance the awareness, appeal and profitability of a tourist destination in the short and/or long term. World's Fairs and Olympic Games are two examples of hallmark events. The 1986 World's Fair (Expo 86) in Vancouver provided an opportunity to document the impacts of this hallmark event on the residents of a community which borders the fair site and on the planning practices of the local government. -

STAFF REPORT May 11, 2006 To: Policy and Finance Committee and Economic Development and Parks Committee From: TEDCO/Toronto 2015 World Expo Corporation, Deputy City Managers and Chief Financial Officer Subject: Toronto 2015 World Expo Bid (All Wards) Purpose: The purpose of this report is to advise City Council on the results of the due dilligence undertaken by TEDCO and its subsidiary, Toronto World Expo Corporation; to recommend that City Council support a bid; to request the Government of Canada submit a bid to the Bureau International des Exposition (BIE) to host a World Expo in Toronto in 2015; and to direct the DCM/CFO, the City Solcitor and the Toronto World Expo Coporation to seek an agreement with other levels of government on a finanicial guarantee, capital funding framework, and a corporate governance structure. Financial Implications and Impact Statement: If Toronto’s bid is successful, the financial and economic consultant to the Toronto 2015 World Expo Corporation, Price Waterhouse Coopers, forecasts that hosting the World Expo will result in the proposed World Expo Corporation incurring an overall deficit of $700 million after $1.5 billion of legacy capital assets are included as shown in Table 1. The approach and methodology used by Price Waterhouse Coopers appears reasonable, although Finance staff have not had an opportunity to fully review their detailed, comprehensive study. - 2 - Table 1 - Capital and Operating Summary of the World Expo Corporation ($2006 Billions) World Expo Corporation Capital Summary: Capital Expenditures (2.8) Sale of Assets 0.1 Total Capital Costs (2.7) World Expo Corporation Operating Summary: Operating Expenditures (1.0) Financing Costs (0.6) Operating Revenues 1.3 Funding from Other Expo Revenues 0.8 Total Operating Profit 0.5 World Expo Corporation Estimated Net Expo Deficit (including Legacy (2.2) Expenditures) Residual Legacy Capital Assets 1.5 Overall Deficit (0.7) Price Waterhouse Coopers Waterhouse’s forecast includes total estimated capital expenditures of $2.8 billion. -

The Making of the Panama-California Exposition, 1909-1915 by Richard W
The Journal of San Diego History SAN DIEGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY Winter 1990, Volume 36, Number 1 Thomas L. Scharf, Editor The Making of the Panama-California Exposition, 1909-1915 by Richard W. Amero Researcher and Writer on the history of Balboa Park Images from this article On July 9, 1901, G. Aubrey Davidson, founder of the Southern Trust and Commerce Bank and Commerce Bank and president of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, said San Diego should stage an exposition in 1915 to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal. He told his fellow Chamber of Commerce members that San Diego would be the first American port of call north of the Panama Canal on the Pacific Coast. An exposition would call attention to the city and bolster an economy still shaky from the Wall Street panic of 1907. The Chamber of Commerce authorized Davidson to appoint a committee to look into his idea.1 Because the idea began with him, Davidson is called "the father of the exposition."2 On September 3, 1909, a special Chamber of Commerce committee formed the Panama- California Exposition Company and sent articles of incorporation to the Secretary of State in Sacramento.3 In 1910 San Diego had a population of 39,578, San Diego County 61,665, Los Angeles 319,198 and San Francisco 416,912. San Diego's meager population, the smallest of any city ever to attempt holding an international exposition, testifies to the city's extraordinary pluck and vitality.4 The Board of Directors of the Panama-California Exposition Company, on September 10, 1909, elected Ulysses S.
