This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boston Redevelopment Authority Government Center, Urban Renewal Project: Developer's Kit for Parcel 2h It is further required that the developer will offer a long-term lease to the Boston College Downtown Club, at fair market terms, for a reasonable amount of space to accommodate the Club's activities, including club rooms, office and dining rooms. The restaurant will be required to provide food service to the Boston College Downtown Cflxmu It appears that in the existing building such a reasonable amount of space would be the entire building except for the space used for the restaurant. In a new building, an amount of space equivalent to that in the existing building (exclusive of restaurant space) would be reasonable. The existing building is interesting historically. Built in 1847 to house the Mayhew School of English Grammar and Writing, it is designed in the Greek Revival Style popular between c. 1825 and 1850 and characteristic of Boston Public Schools of the era. It is one of the few such schools still standing. From 1879 to 1957 the building was used by the Welfare Department as a Way farer's Lodge. Its simple classic design integrates well with the new architecture of the area and provides an interesting tie with the past.

Download or read book Suburban Remix written by Jason Beske and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investment has flooded back to cities because dense, walkable, mixed-use urban environments offer choices that support diverse dreams. Auto-oriented, single-use suburbs have a hard time competing. Suburban Remix brings together experts in planning, urban design, real estate development, and urban policy to demonstrate how suburbs can use growing demand for urban living to renew their appeal as places to live, work, play, and invest. The case studies and analysis show how compact new urban places are being created in suburbs to produce health, economic, and environmental benefits, and contribute to solving a growing equity crisis.
Download or read book The Hidden Wealth of Cities written by Jon Kher Kaw and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In every city, the urban spaces that form the public realm—ranging from city streets, neighborhood squares, and parks to public facilities such as libraries and markets—account for about one-third of the city’s total land area, on average. Despite this significance, the potential for these public-space assets—typically owned and managed by local governments—to transform urban life and city functioning is often overlooked for many reasons: other pressing city priorities arising from rapid urbanization, poor urban planning, and financial constraints. The resulting degradation of public spaces into congested, vehicle-centric, and polluted places often becomes a liability, creating a downward spiral that leads to a continuous drain on public resources and exacerbating various city problems. In contrast, the cities that invest in the creation of human-centered, environmentally sustainable, economically vibrant, and socially inclusive places—in partnership with government entities, communities, and other private stakeholders—perform better. They implement smart and sustainable strategies across their public space asset life cycles to yield returns on investment far exceeding monetary costs, ultimately enhancing city livability, resilience, and competitiveness. The Hidden Wealth of Cities: Creating, Financing, and Managing Public Spaces discusses the complexities that surround the creation and management of successful public spaces and draws on the analyses and experiences from city case studies from around the globe. This book identifies—through the lens of asset management—a rich palette of creative and innovative strategies that every city can undertake to plan, finance, and manage both government-owned and privately owned public spaces.
Download or read book Regenerating Urban Land written by Rana Amirtahmasebi and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regenerating Urban Land draws on the experience of eight case studies from around the world. The case studies outline various policy and financial instruments to attract private sector investment in urban regeneration of underutilized and unutilized areas and the requisite infrastructure improvements. In particular, each case study details the project cycle, from the scoping phase and determination of the initial amount of public sector investment, to implementation and subsequent leveraged private-sector funds. This manual analyzes rates of return on the investments and long-term financial sustainability. Regenerating Urban Land guides local governments to systematically identify the sequence of steps and tasks needed to develop a regeneration policy framework, with the participation of the private sector. The manual also formulates specific policies and instruments for expanding private sector participation; structuring effective administrative and legal frameworks; utilizing land readjustment/assembly methods; determining duration of contracts, adequate phasing, and timeline; and balancing the distribution of risk and sustainability measures.
