Book excerpt: The practice of cultural planning proceeds largely in the absence of discussion regarding its purpose, norms and goals, either in academic literature or among its practitioners. This paper seeks to uncover the norms and goals of cultural planning, as understood by cultural planners working in Austin, TX, through a series of interviews with these individuals. Interviews also brought to light cultural planners' understandings of the function of art in communities. Ultimately, little connection was found between cultural planners' understandings of the function of art in communities and the norms and goals of cultural planning. It is argued herein that these two conversations must be closely linked and that cultural planner's understandings of what art can and should do in communities must form the basis for the goals and norms of cultural planning practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Urban Cultural Policy brings together a range of international experts to critically analyze the ways that governmental actors and non-governmental entities attempt to influence the production and implementation of urban policies directed at the arts, culture, and creative activity. Presenting a global set of case studies that span five continents and 22 cities, the essays in this book advance our understanding of how the dynamic interplay between economic and political context, institutional arrangements, and social networks affect urban cultural policy-making and the ways that these policies impact urban development and influence urban governance. The volume comparatively studies urban cultural policy-making in a diverse set of contexts, analyzes the positive and negative outcomes of policy for different constituencies, and identifies the most effective policy directions, emerging political challenges, and most promising opportunities for building effective cultural policy coalitions. The volume provides a comprehensive and in-depth engagement with the political process of urban cultural policy and urban development studies around the world. It will be of interest to students and researchers interested in urban planning, urban studies and cultural studies.

Download or read book Performance based Transit oriented Developments written by Pooja Anil Chaudhari and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transit-oriented development is a planning instrument where land use and developments are driven by the presence of transit around them. This planning tool is particularly crucial in urban cities facing rapid growth, where local and regional governments encourage sustainable developments via land use planning, zoning laws, and changes to building codes, among other things (Transit-Oriented Development, 2015). Many metropolitan cities may have Council-adopted districts to promote transit-oriented developments with an aim to balance density, mix use, affordability, sustainability, alternate modes of transportation, using land use policies and public transit investments. The objectives of any given city for their transit-oriented developments will be unique, subject to context and priorities. Currently, the City of Austin regulates and promotes such developments for three transit-oriented developments and two special regulating districts. It is important to evaluate the performance of Austin’s transit-oriented development districts against the city’s larger strategic goals. The City of Austin adopts many strategic plans with different scopes; some are city-wide, while some as program-based or area-specific. These comply with each other in order to address various city priorities. A crucial component of Austin’s strategic planning process is performance management. While there are many ways to approach performance evaluation in planning, currently there is no globally accepted gold standard for assessing transit-oriented developments. The City also revises and updates these plans/ ordinances when required, to reflect the current conditions and challenges. Large public investments, capital improvements and partnerships are driven by these strategic plans. Hence it becomes important to evaluate the results of implementation. By identifying and informing the gaps and opportunities from periodic performance evaluation, the city stands to optimize the benefits of transit-oriented developments. This report identifies ideal metrics for TODs in Austin, derived from the city’s strategic planning goals and evaluates these metrics using empirical data. This progress report will focus on a quantitative approach and serve as an important tool for making informed revisions in policy and providing transparency and accountability in decision-making. This assessment has potential importance to the city’s officials to keep track of progress, or lack thereof, of their implemented policies. Such studies also help for future relevant planning decisions
Download or read book A Planning Tool of Equity Transit oriented Development ETOD written by Yingrui Zhao and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study develops a set of planning tools for achieving equitable goals at the 133-bus stop of the Project Connect plan in Austin, Texas. This topic is important for Austin is that the upgrading of the city is forcing vulnerable groups to displace them from their original communities. As part of a 7-billion-dollar public transit expansion plan, Project Connect gave 300 million dollars in anti-displacement funding. This report answers the three questions on implementing the anti-displacement: First, whether the neighborhood of stops has issues of inequality funding. The second one, stops are the vulnerable stop. Finally, this report answers how economic, social, and environmental impacts will be brought about by the Project Connect plan. This report uses a node-place-vulnerability model, finding that vulnerable groups have a below-average transportation supply. Continuously, the K-means clustering algorithm identifies the vulnerable bus and rail stops located around the Rundberg stop and Riverside stop. Lastly, this study applies Genetic Algorithms (GA) to optimize land use, finding that the transit system will greatly benefit accessibility to housing. Besides, the high-intensity development will result in an unproportionally high level of emissions from buildings and traffic
