This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Environmental Setting of Chinatown: History, People, Land Use Regulations, Development Trends San Francisco has the oldest and the second largest Chinese American community in the United States (new York is first). Chinatown is an integral and important part of San Francisco's environment, history and character. As the city's social and economic changes affect Chinatown, planning and zoning should respond to these changed needs and conditions. Zoning sets standards for the size, height and use of new and remodeled buildings. The zoning pattern in Chinatown has not undergone a major revision in over 15 years, and the zoning itself was not based on any overall plan for Chinatown. In the intervening years, however, a number of Master Plan policies affecting Chinatown have been adopted. In recent years there has been a considerable increase in office development in the financial district, retail development to the south of Chinatown, and high rise residential development on Nob Hill and Russian Hill. There have also been significant shifts in the population composition and needs of Chinatown's residents. Because there are many complex needs and issues in Chinatown, the Planning and Zoning Study needs to provide significant opportunity for public participation. Six community forums will be conducted both in Cantonese and English. The forums will identify and analyze issues and Master Plan policies related to zoning problems. The forums will provide a chance for participants to understand, step-by-step, the basis for making zoning changes and to influence the conclusions reached. The Environmental Simulation Lab of the University of California will provide a scale model of the Chinatown area to test different zoning proposals. After completion of the forums, the Planning Department will design a zoning proposal drawing on the Master Plan and on what was learned through the background studies and discussion at the forums. Then there will be formal public hearings at which all interested parties can testify and the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors will make the final decision on what zoning regulations will be adopted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Housing in Chinatown: Issue Paper #2 for Discussion at Community Forums on Chinatown Planning and Rezoning Study The February 28 and 29, 1984 community forums on the environmental setting of Chinatown indicated a deep concern with the need for housing in Chinatown. George Suey said, Thousands of people are waiting for housing in this Chinatown Core Area. The priority in the Chinatown Area is housing, and more housing. Former San Francisco Planning Director Allan Jacobs reflected on they long it took and what it took to get housing, especially affordable housing which suggested the overwhelming importance of being extremely cautious with housing that exists right now. This issue paper focuses on housing a major component of Chinatown's function as a residential village in balance with its roles as a major visitor attraction and as a capital city for the Chinese population of the Bay Area.

Download or read book Asian American Literature and the Environment written by Lorna Fitzsimmons and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a ground-breaking transnational study of representations of the environment in Asian American literature. Extending and renewing Asian American studies and ecocriticism by drawing the two fields into deeper dialogue, it brings Asian American writers to the center of ecocritical studies. This collection demonstrates the distinctiveness of Asian American writers’ positions on topics of major concern today: environmental justice, identity and the land, war environments, consumption, urban environments, and the environment and creativity. Represented authors include Amy Tan, Maxine Hong Kingston, Ruth Ozeki, Ha Jin, Fae Myenne Ng, Le Ly Hayslip, Lan Cao, Mitsuye Yamada, Lawson Fusao Inada, Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, Milton Murayama, Don Lee, and Hisaye Yamamoto. These writers provide a range of perspectives on the historical, social, psychological, economic, philosophical, and aesthetic responses of Asian Americans to the environment conceived in relation to labor, racism, immigration, domesticity, global capitalism, relocation, pollution, violence, and religion. Contributors apply a diversity of critical frameworks, including critical radical race studies, counter-memory studies, ecofeminism, and geomantic criticism. The book presents a compelling and timely "green" perspective through which to understand key works of Asian American literature and leads the field of ecocriticism into neglected terrain.
