Book excerpt: Phoenix, Arizona is one of America's fastest growing metropolitan regions. It is also its least sustainable one, sprawling over a thousand square miles, with a population of four and a half million, minimal rainfall, scorching heat, and an insatiable appetite for unrestrained growth and unrestricted property rights. In Bird on Fire, eminent social and cultural analyst Andrew Ross focuses on the prospects for sustainability in Phoenix--a city in the bull's eye of global warming--and also the obstacles that stand in the way. Most authors writing on sustainable cities look at places that have excellent public transit systems and relatively high density, such as Portland, Seattle, or New York. But Ross contends that if we can't change the game in fast-growing, low-density cities like Phoenix, the whole movement has a major problem. Drawing on interviews with 200 influential residents--from state legislators, urban planners, developers, and green business advocates to civil rights champions, energy lobbyists, solar entrepreneurs, and community activists--Ross argues that if Phoenix is ever to become sustainable, it will occur more through political and social change than through technological fixes. Ross explains how Arizona's increasingly xenophobic immigration laws, science-denying legislature, and growth-at-all-costs business ethic have perpetuated social injustice and environmental degradation. But he also highlights the positive changes happening in Phoenix, in particular the Gila River Indian Community's successful struggle to win back its water rights, potentially shifting resources away from new housing developments to producing healthy local food for the people of the Phoenix Basin. Ross argues that this victory may serve as a new model for how green democracy can work, redressing the claims of those who have been aggrieved in a way that creates long-term benefits for all. Bird on Fire offers a compelling take on one of the pressing issues of our time--finding pathways to sustainability at a time when governments are dismally failing in their responsibility to address climate change.

Download or read book A Brief History of Phoenix written by Jon Talton and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the new metropolis is one of America's largest, many are unaware of Phoenix's rich and compelling history. Built on land once occupied by the most advanced pre-Columbian irrigation society, Phoenix overcame its hostile desert surroundings to become a thriving agricultural center. After World War II, its population exploded with the mid-century mass migration to the Sun Belt. In times of rapid expansion or decline, Phoenicians proved themselves to be adaptable and optimistic. Phoenix's past is an engaging and surprising story of audacity, vision, greed and a never-ending fight to secure its future. Chronicling the challenges of growth and change, fourth-generation Arizonan Jon Talton tells the story of the city that remains one of American civilization's great accomplishments.

Book excerpt: Phoenix Arizona is a valley in which the temperature rises above 100 F for over a hundred days a year, with an average of 300 days of sunshine. The Architectural form does not reflect such a climate. Phoenix has been labeled the "City of the 21st Century," because it is a prime example of the phenomenal expansion of cities that had just begun to blossom in the last twenty years. Currently, the city is defined by low density development, bedroom subdivisions, shopping malls, and over-dependence on the automobile; devoid of pedestrians and a street life. It is a city where an aggressive street grid is the only form of definition, in the absence of a physical urbanity that speaks of identity, character and community. This thesis is about making the "crossroads" where people communicate with one another. The need to provide shade to allow pedestrians to partiCipate in the life of the city is an essential determinate of the design. In response to the oppressive heat of the ground plane and Phoenix's relentless street grid, an urban architecture of the desert must find a home beneath the desert floor. In this putative City of the 21 st Century shopping malls lack a connection to the surrounding neighborhoods. By supporting these communities within a physical form that provides services beyond the exchange of commodities in the malls; gives re lief from the grid and cool places we can achieve an urban desert architecture. The project will be the design of an urbane space linking an existing shopping mall to an existing neighborhood . . The act of digging in, the act of finding a cooler place, will be expressed in special places like a library. The project seeks to use the formal notions of landscape, response to climate and personal notions of place, in order to create a series of places that serve the need of the citizens. In many ways, this thesis is a confrontation between the city I remember in and notions of urbanity I have acquired more recently The images that guide this project are are faint, elusive dreams. The thesis will balance an attempt to express these personal visions with a more disciplined approach to design, incorporating: light, structure, dimension, access and landscape. The attempt is to play with the assumptions of my design education, with my instinctive design process and the dreams of my childhood.
