Book excerpt: An analysis of stream mitigation banking and the challenges of implementing market-based approaches to environmental conservation. Market-based approaches to environmental conservation have been increasingly prevalent since the early 1990s. The goal of these markets is to reduce environmental harm not by preventing it, but by pricing it. A housing development on land threaded with streams, for example, can divert them into underground pipes if the developer pays to restore streams elsewhere. But does this increasingly common approach actually improve environmental well-being? In Streams of Revenue, Rebecca Lave and Martin Doyle answer this question by analyzing the history, implementation, and environmental outcomes of one of these markets: stream mitigation banking. In stream mitigation banking, an entrepreneur speculatively restores a stream, generating “stream credits” that can be purchased by a developer to fulfill regulatory requirements of the Clean Water Act. Tracing mitigation banking from conceptual beginnings to implementation, the authors find that in practice it is very difficult to establish equivalence between the ecosystems harmed and those that are restored, and to cope with the many sources of uncertainty that make positive restoration outcomes unlikely. Lave and Doyle argue that market-based approaches have failed to deliver on conservation goals and call for a radical reconfiguration of the process.
Download or read book The Image of the City written by Kevin Lynch and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1964-06-15 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic work on the evaluation of city form. What does the city's form actually mean to the people who live there? What can the city planner do to make the city's image more vivid and memorable to the city dweller? To answer these questions, Mr. Lynch, supported by studies of Los Angeles, Boston, and Jersey City, formulates a new criterion—imageability—and shows its potential value as a guide for the building and rebuilding of cities. The wide scope of this study leads to an original and vital method for the evaluation of city form. The architect, the planner, and certainly the city dweller will all want to read this book.
Download or read book Restoring Streams in Cities written by Ann L. Riley and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ann L. Riley describes an interdisciplinary approach to stream management that does not attempt to control streams, but rather considers the stream as a feature in the urban environment. She presents a logical sequence of land-use planning, site design, and watershed restoration measures along with stream channel modifications and floodproofing strategies that can be used in place of destructive and expensive public works projects. She features examples of effective and environmentally sensitive bank stabilization and flood damage reduction projects, with information on both the planning processes and end results. Chapters provide: history of urban stream management and restoration; information on federal programs, technical assistance, and funding opportunities; and in-depth guidance on implementing projects: collecting watershed and stream channel data, installing revegetation projects, protecting buildings from overbank stream flows.

Book excerpt: The relationship between cities and streams has historically been one of conflict. Streams are dynamic systems that do not conform to the rigid physical boundaries that characterize urban development. Past solutions to adapt streams to the urban landscape included altering stream paths and confining them to concrete channels and pipes to control localized flooding so that valuable land could be used for the construction of buildings and infrastructure. The increase in impervious cover and the rapid conveyance of stormwater to receiving streams typical to urban development has resulted in the "urban stream syndrome", a consistently observed ecological degradation (Walsh et al. 2005). Past urban development style and associated surface water management engineering solutions have resulted in the loss of stream hydrologic and ecological integrity, as well as the loss of a public amenity. Many cities are beginning to realize the environmental, economic and social value of restoring their streams. Across the globe, buried streams have been daylighted and become amenities to city residents, catalyzing adjacent redevelopment. However, a stream is just one part of the overall urban hydrologic system. Without restoring the encompassing watershed hydrology, the outcome of stream restoration may not provide the expected flood mitigation, water quality improvement and other ecosystem services. Green infrastructure is a holistic approach to water management that, when its practices are employed throughout a watershed, is effective in mitigating the harmful effects of urbanization on streams. This thesis investigates how an urban stream renovation can be the impetus for a new redevelopment regime that redefines a city's relationship with the hydrology of the urban landscape. A water-centric framework employing the practices of green infrastructure throughout the watershed of Woolen Mill Branch in Cleveland, TN illustrates ways in which this urban stream can become a focal point around which future redevelopment within Cleveland's downtown is organized. Simultaneously, multiple layers of benefits are provided including flood and stormwater management, improved ecosystem services, recreation, cultural connection and education.
