This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 28 (thesis year 1 983) a total of 10,661 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 197 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 28 reports theses submitted in-1983, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Download or read book Private Sector Led Urban Development Projects written by Erwin Heurkens and published by TU Delft. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central to 'Private Sector-led Urban Development Projects' lays the concept of private sector-led urban development projects. Such projects involve project developers taking a leading role and local authorities adopting a facilitating role, in managing the development of an urban area, based on a clear public-private role division. Such a development strategy is quite common in Anglo-Saxon urban development practices, but is less known in Continental European practices.Nonetheless, since the beginning of the millennium such a development strategy also occurred in the Netherlands in the form of 'concessions'. However, remarkably little empirical knowledge is available about how public and private actors collaborate on and manage private sector-led urban development projects. Moreover, it remains unclear what the effects of such projects are. This dissertation provides an understanding of the various characteristics of private sector-led urban development projects by conducting empirical case study research in the institutional contexts of the Netherlands and the UK. The book provides an answer to the following question:What can we learn from private sector-led urban development projects in the Netherlands and UK in terms of the collaborative and managerial roles of public and private actors, and the effects of their (inter)actions?

Book excerpt: Since the mid-21st century, the urban waterfronts have become a fertile land for mixeduse development. Being the front porch of the city, these waterfronts are often sites of urban spectacles that have sought to reactivate the shorelines, both culturally and economically. But the original nature of these fringe spaces as an ecological system has often been neglected due to human settlements. With today’s concerns about climate change and rise in the sea levels, the waterfront has become one of the most vulnerable sites in the city. This thesis will explore a way of proposing an architecture that will not only support the diverse habitat of Puget Sound but also create a scenario where man can co-exist with nature. The focus will be towards re-establishing of the Elliot Bay shoreline’s ecological process while creating natural waterways that can once again feed the Elliot bay as it used to, a century ago. All with the city’s life existing side by side.

Download or read book Lake Union written by Marques Vickers and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographer Marques Vickers has captured over 160 stunning images from thirty-five commercial development projects that shape the nucleus of Seattle's downtown Lake Union district. "Lake Union: The Public Face of Prosperity" is the initial volume in the Vertical Seattle series intended to document the city's dynamic skyline growth. The heightening of the downtown Seattle skyline mirrors the prosperity and expansion of the business core. This change in complexion is most evident along the shoreline of Lake Union, a freshwater passage contained entirely within Seattle's city limits. Lake Union was originally formed by the melting of the Vashon Glacier waters and officially named by Seattle pioneer Thomas Mercer in 1854. Mercer correctly forecasted that with effective damming and canals, the eventual union of Lake Washington and Puget Sound could be completed. The Duwamish and Chinook native tribes called the body small waters. The Boeing Corporation initiated production facilities in 1916. The shoreline for decades remained principally shipyards, wharfs, sawmills and diminutive restaurant and retail outlets. The high technology industry has completely altered the commercials emphasis. The chronic Seattle housing shortage has accentuated a similar boom for elevated residential properties. Staggering glass monoliths have continued to proliferate amongst the welcoming neighborhoods of South Lake Union and periphery sections on the eastern and western shores. Proponents of contemporary progress have welcomed the expansion of mixed-use commercial office, retail, hotel accommodations and permanent living spaces. Assuming that the ambitious pace continues, South Lake Union will consolidate its gateway status towards the historic downtown core. In the process, the construction is eliminating generations of low-rise buildings and structural eyesores of modest or no local architectural significance. The rapid progression has prompted criticism based on the accompanying traffic congestion, skyrocketing leases and parking scarcity. Light rail programs may alleviate some of these concerns. Many critics have cited that the city of Seattle was never intended nor proactively planned to become a major urban center. The infrastructure to accommodate its growth is being installed on a catch-up basis. The argument may be valid, but the city planners of Seattle appear fully committed towards growth and elevated expansion. Activist demands for restraint and moderation are generally muffled amidst the momentum of increasing space demands, public hearings, zoning variances, demolition and construction. The nature of aggressive growth does not historically pause. The Lake Union shoreline has become forever changed. Most of the completed high-rise buildings featured in this edition are less than ten years old. Numerous more are anticipated and currently in diverse stages of planning and completion. This edition's images visually portray the changes in the present tense. Clearly, however, downtown Seattle's future is oriented towards an increasing vertical expansion.
