Book excerpt: "The main purpose of this study is to contribute to the field of urban modeling by identifying factors associated with the location of infill housing development in declining American cities. The focus of this research is on the institutional factors that have not been considered in traditional urban land use models. The two main research questions were: (1) are the institutional factors significantly associated with the location of urban infill housing development in declining American cities? and (2) are the institutional factors more important than non-institutional factors, i.e., site and neighborhood characteristics, in determining the location of infill housing development? The study analyzed housing development patterns in City of Cleveland, Ohio, during the 1990s. Most of the institutional factors were found to be significantly related to infill housing development. The land bank and Neighborhood Reinvestment Agreement (NRA) programs were found to be particularly important in guiding the process of the infill housing development. Several non-institutional factors such as the quantity of vacant residential land were also found to be significantly related to infill housing development. Other non-institutional factors that have been traditionally used in urban models such as accessibility and proximity to amenities were found to not be significantly related to the location of infill housing development. Interestingly, the minority-concentrated, poverty-stricken, crime-ridden, and population-losing neighborhoods which urban modelers have traditionally assumed would have little new housing experienced the most housing development activities. These rather surprising results reflect the fact that these neighborhoods were the focus of governments{u2019} and other supporting institutions{u2019} efforts to revitalize depressed urban neighborhoods. The study has several important implications for urban modelers and urban planners. It first suggests that urban models for the residential development in struggling older cities should consider the important role played by a city{u2019}s institutional support systems. Second, it suggests that these models should pay particular attention to land availability factors such as land bank programs and the amount of residential vacant land. Third, it suggests that urban modelers interested in urban infill residential development should not be as concerned with accessibility to employment or shopping centers as they are with other locational factors. Lastly, it indicates that governmental and institutional interventions can effectively guide the location of infill housing development in a weak inter-urban housing market."--abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting Suburbs: Reinventing Infrastructure for Compact Development- Suburban housing markets across the United States are evolving rapidly and overall remain well-positioned to maintain their relevance for the foreseeable future as preferred places to live and work, even as many urban cores and downtown neighborhoods continue to attract new residents and businesses. Suburban housing dynamics increasingly reflect some of the most profound issues shaping our society, including aging, immigration, economic mobility, and evolving consumer preferences. As a result, suburbs will generate substantial residential development and redevelopment opportunities and challenges in the years ahead. -Housing in the Evolving American Suburb- This title describes different kinds of suburbs based on the key factors that define and determine their housing markets. The report classifies and compares suburbs in the 50 largest metro areas in the U.S. and assesses the key issues that will shape suburban residential demand and development in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers a way to think about the regeneration of America's legacy cities -- older industrial cities that have experienced sustained job and population loss over the past few decades. It argues that regeneration is grounded in the cities' abilities to find new forms. These include not only new physical forms that reflect the changing economy and social fabric, but also new forms of export-oriented economic activity, new models of governance and leadership, and new ways to build stronger regional and metropolitan relationships. The report also identifies the powerful obstacles that stand in the way of fundamental change, and suggests directions by which cities can overcome those obstacles and embark on the path of regeneration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between public and private spheres is one of the key concerns of the modern society. This book investigates this relationship, especially as manifested in the urban space with its social and psychological significance. Through theoretical and historical examination, it explores how and why the space of human socities is subdivided into public and private sections. It starts with the private, interior space of the mind and moves step by step, through the body, home, neighborhood and the city, outwards to the most public, impersonal spaces, exploring the nature of each realm and their complex, interdependent realtionships. A stimulating and thought provoking book for any architect, architectural historian, urban planner or designer.
