In Hydraulic City Nikhil Anand explores the politics of Mumbai's water infrastructure to demonstrate how citizenship emerges through the continuous efforts to control, maintain, and manage the city's water. Through extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Mumbai's settlements, Anand found that Mumbai's water flows, not through a static collection of pipes and valves, but through a dynamic infrastructure built on the relations between residents, plumbers, politicians, engineers, and the 3,000 miles of pipe that bind them. In addition to distributing water, the public water network often reinforces social identities and the exclusion of marginalized groups, as only those actively recognized by city agencies receive legitimate water services. This form of recognition—what Anand calls "hydraulic citizenship"—is incremental, intermittent, and reversible.

He gave this direction while presiding over the weekly meeting of National Coordinating Committee for Housing, Construction and Development here. Surveyor General of Pakistan briefed the meeting on cadastral mapping.
The meeting was informed that mapping was underway in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and Quetta and data from other small towns and rural areas had been received and was being digitized. The forum was told that this process would eliminate problems with determining the actual ownership of the land and will help in better planning.
The boundaries of forests, Wapda, railways, endowments and other government lands will be determined. Cadastral mapping will help eliminate illegal occupations, resolve property disputes, expedite legal proceedings, correct errors in old records and conduct audits, it was told.
Chief Secretary Punjab apprised the meeting of the progress made so far in the master planning of cities in the province. The meeting was informed that work on master plan of five major cities and 16 medium and small towns of Punjab was in progress. Each master plan covers housing, commercial, health, education, sewerage, parks and other costs.
The prime minister said that in order to address the problems arising from the growing urban population, it was necessary to restructure the city master plan and adopt modern and international standard methods for master planning.
The prime minister also chaired a meeting on PIA, which was attended by Federal Minister for Aviation Ghulam Sarwar Khan, Advisor Dr. Ishrat Hussain, Senator Noman Wazir Khattak, Secretary Aviation Shaukat Ali, Air Marshal (R) Arshad Malik, CEO PIA, DG Civil Aviation and relevant senior officials.

This project began two years ago when the work of the Lonja of the Port of Huelva came to the competition. Back in May, the project for the renewal and adaptation to the new market demands for the Lonja de Huelva for more than 7 million euros was tendered. This plan was divided into two phases, a first phase that would contemplate the construction and commissioning of a new, larger and more modern fish market that met the current requirements for the sale and distribution of fish and shellfish, and a second phase that includes a 2-storey building (1,100 m2 and 750 m2 respectively), intended solely and exclusively for restoration.
Dippanel has been in charge of the construction of the first phase of the project, that is, of the Lonja, specifically of the interior areas, cold rooms, handling rooms, laboratories, and the loading and unloading areas of goods (loading docks) . This building is built on the Dock of Levante of the Port of Huelva and consists of a ground floor of 3,800 m2. In it we find a diaphanous area dedicated to the unloading and handling of the product captured in the day, the corresponding cold stores, the warehouse, the wholesale market, offices and changing rooms.
DIPPANEL has been in charge of the interior areas of the new Lonja Building as well as the loading and unloading docks of the same.
The upper part of the building of the new Lonja consists of 2,500 m2 and will have a free access area for citizens who want to attend the auctions. It will also have a laboratory area for quality control of the products auctioned there, a cafeteria / restaurant area, a gourmet shop and a small museum that tells us the history of the Huelva fishing activity.
For the construction of the Dippanel Market, it has used more than 3,000 meters of Sandwich Panel, 8 loading docks, 15 sectional doors and more than 15 refrigeration doors, for the construction of the aforementioned areas.
The most significant space of the new Lonja will be the area dedicated to auctions, which may be public thanks to some stands. The auction zone has a conveyor belt through which the corresponding boxes of fish (previously classified and labeled to certify their origin) that will travel to the area of accredited buyers. Once there, these buyers will control the price through an electronic display by means of a command with which they will be making their offers.
The new Lonja, as well as the Seafood City, will integrate the industrial zone of Puerto de Huelva with the city, turning this area into a more striking and leisure area.
This remodeling of the Lonja de Huelva joins the great project of the city that seeks the regeneration of an industrial zone that was not integrated in the city. The culmination will come with the construction of the Seafood City (currently under construction) which, together with the remodeling of the Lonja and the Paseo de la Ría, will lead to the creation of a quality brand of fish and seafood from Huelva, which is the star project of the new leadership of the Huelva Port Authority.
The realization of this important work is another example of what Dippanel can offer in the market, quality products, well finished and executed with a full guarantee. From this space we want to thank Construcciones SANDO, S.A. for trusting us for the execution of this important work. | urban_planning |

The West 76th Street Block Association represents the residents of West 76th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City. It is a social and community service organization that was formed in 1973 as a New York not-for-profit corporation (though archival records show the association existed in the early 1960’s).
Our stretch of West 76th Street is easily identifiable. If you tell people that you live on the block with the Riverside Funeral Chapel, or the block with the large Sunday flea market, they know where you live. The brownstones and high-rises and large trees make us feel like a real residential block, even though we have some sizable institutions as neighbors. Besides the funeral home, there is a large school building which now houses three smaller schools, including a computer school for middle-schoolers and the Anderson citywide gifted and talented school (k-8). There is also an Orthodox Jewish synagogue, which also contains a non-denominational preschool and a lunch program open to all seniors.
A recent count showed nearly 500 residential units in the 37 residential buildings on our block. That’s the size of a small town. The block association is our vehicle to promote the best aspects of small-town living in our giant metropolis. We feel more secure and we are more secure when we breach the anonymity of big city living. We also try to keep abreast of community issues that affect our block and to have input into them through our community board and our elected officials. We want to be a block where residents know each other and look out for each other. We are invested in making the block a safe and desirable place for renters and owners alike.
Where We Live
The Google map below shows the location of the block within the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Central Park is one block to the east, Broadway is one block to the west. We are also near the Hudson River and the American Museum of Natural History. | urban_planning |

Beginning August 1, 2022, NYC’s red light and speed cameras will start operating and ticketing motorists 24/7. These traffic cameras help reduce speeding, save lives, and help ensure the safety of all road users. Along with the proper implementation of automated traffic enforcement strategies, the cameras can help further reduce speeding-related crashes by as much as 72%.
State lawmakers approved the new hours in June and will remain in effect for up to three years. The cameras were operational from 6 am to 10 pm during weekdays since 2019. The NYC Department of Transportation (DoT) will implement a month-long campaign to warn motorists to stop for red lights and slow down if they don’t want to be fined $50.
Red Light Cameras and Speed Cameras Work to Reduce Traffic Accidents
According to city data, approximately 60% of deadly traffic accidents in NYC happened during hours when the red light and speed cameras were not operating. Roughly 110 individuals have died in traffic crashes in NYC so far this year. In this light, keeping the cameras operational round the clock is a crucial step in ensuring the safety of all road users regardless of the time and day.
Studies have found that properly designed and implemented camera programs can deter motorists from running red lights, prevent around 44% of serious traffic accidents, and reduce speeding by 66%, based on a National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) analysis.
In NYC, a clear indicator that the traffic cameras work is the significant decline in tickets issued following the first year of implementation. For example, a speed camera installed in the West Village in 2020 currently issues around 33 tickets daily compared with over 300 tickets daily during the first month of implementation.
How The NYC’s Traffic Camera Enforcement Program Works
Apart from the extended hours, almost everything else about the traffic camera program will stay the same. Currently, 2,060 speed cameras are installed in 750 areas close to schools, and approximately 200 red light cameras are installed at 150 intersections throughout the city.
The speed cameras work by ticketing motorists who are caught not stopping at red lights or traveling 11 miles per hour above the posted speed limit. This is a more forgiving policy than other traffic camera enforcement programs in other cities, such as Chicago, where cameras issue tickets to any motorist who drives 6 miles per hour over the posted speed limit. A staffer from the Transportation Department will review each red light or speed violation before they issue a ticket to the motorist caught on camera.

Improving communities’ resilience to floods
Floodplains allow rivers to rise and spread out, reducing pressure on infrastructure during heavy rains. We’re giving cities the tools and policies to reconnect floodplains as a way to minimize flood damage, provide clean water, recharge groundwater, and provide open spaces to play.
Smarter floodplain management is about protecting the valuable services floodplains provide for people and wildlife.
Floodplains are the flat areas of land next to rivers — the nexus between water and land. By designing our cities with floodplains, instead of on top of them, we can reduce risks of flooding and property damage. Floodplains also recharge our groundwater, help clean our water, and provide open spaces for us play. They are the spawning grounds for fish and a refuge for birds. Healthy floodplains can also help communities become more resilient to the effects of climate change.
As more homes, businesses, and roads are built within floodplains, the danger of flooding to people and property increases because rivers have nowhere to rise.
The costs of flood damage in the U.S. continues to increase, which can be devastating not only to property owners but for entire communities that absorb the cost of emergency services, lost business, sewage overflows, road closures, and cleanup. In many places, flooding is expected to become more frequent and severe due to climate change. Today, many of our floodplains are no longer healthy enough to buffer us from flooding or to support fish populations. These challenges add to the complex science and the changing regulatory requirements surrounding floodplains.
A PATH FORWARD
Willamette Partnership is creating a suite of strategies and tools that will help communities reduce their risk of flooding and improve floodplain health. Local governments, state agencies, private landowners, and local conservation groups can use these strategies to better manage floodplains.
A Vision for Smarter Floodplain Management
6 Strategies for Smarter Floodplain Management
1. Land Use Planning
Where floodplains are still undeveloped, local land use planning should aim to steer new development away from high-hazard areas and away from areas with highly functioning floodplains. Functioning floodplains should be seen as an infrastructure investment. Where new development in floodplains is unavoidable, compensatory mitigation should be required to ensure that flood storage capacity, habitat for imperiled fish, and other natural floodplain functions are replaced.
As part of its response to litigation over floodplain development impacts on endangered fish, the Federal Emergency Management Agency created a model floodplains ordinance that may provide a good starting point for communities interested in this approach.
2. Watershed Restoration
From green infrastructure in urban areas to large-scale restoration efforts in less developed watersheds, many communities are working within existing developed land areas to restore the natural functions of floodplains. The Floodplains By Design program in Washington provides a promising model for public investment in floodplain restoration projects that provide multiple benefits, including improved water storage, fish habitat, support of working lands, public safety, and water quality.
For existing restoration efforts to scale up to restoring floodplains for more resilient communities, increased funding and tools will be needed to target where those investments can be most effective.
3. Structural and Nonstructural Solutions
Levees and dams can play an important role in protecting existing development from catastrophic floods, but they also impair beneficial floodplain functions. When levees fail, flood damage can be extreme, both because people behind the structures are often unaware of the risk and because the failed structures can retain water and prevent it from receding back into the channel. Because of these inherent problems, new flood protection structures should be developed only as a last resort for defending existing development and not in order to accommodate new development in high-hazard areas.
Nonstructural solutions such as maintaining floodplains as open space, buyouts of at-risk structures, or community planning and zoning for floodplain management are emerging as an important tool for helping to increase community resilience to floods and to restore floodplain function.
4. Design Standards
Where new construction does occur in floodplains, the focus should be on designing buildings that can withstand the effects of flooding and on avoiding or minimizing impacts on flood storage, water quality, and fish habitat. Low Impact Development standards can help ensure these goals are met. Policy and insurance incentives for land elevation should be removed because they can increase flood risk to surrounding properties and can undermine habitat and other important natural functions.
5. Disaster Relief
Where floodplains are already highly developed, hazard mitigation planning can help limit the risk to people and property. Communities should plan for what will happen when floods strike as well as think ahead as to how they will respond and rebuild after a flood. In areas that flood frequently, or where damage has been severe, voluntary buy-outs can be an important tool.
6. Community Awareness
Most people that live or work in floodplains are unaware of the risks they face or of the potential damage that floodplain development can cause to water quality, fish, wildlife, and other ecological values. When governments permit or even incentivize development in high-hazard areas, they can unwittingly send the message that they have evaluated the risk – both to public safety and ecological values – and deem it to be acceptable. Local governments, nonprofits, landowners, and state and federal agencies can work together to build community awareness of the importance of floodplains and a realistic understanding of the risks associated with building and living in floodplains.
– Strategies On the Ground –
TILLAMOOK COUNTY, OREGON
Tillamook County’s Southern Flow Corridor project (pictured below) proposes to restore 10% of the watershed’s historical tidal wetlands and remove or modify 10 miles of levees that currently constrain the river channel in order to improve endangered salmon habitat and reduce the frequency and intensity of flood events and associated damage.
PIERCE COUNTY, WASHINGTON
In response to repeated flooding, Pierce County is moving their flood management strategy away from the use of gray infrastructure, such as levees to channelize flood-prone rivers, and towards nonstructural solutions like buying out land and property in flood-prone areas. Their 2013 Rivers Flood Hazard Management Plan reflects the viewpoint that “fighting the river” is a costly and mostly ineffective way to protect human life and property.
TOOLS FOR NAVIGATING FLOODPLAIN SCIENCE & REGULATION
Implementing these six strategies will look different in every community. Some may focus on voluntary buyouts in flood-prone areas, while others might invest heavily in restoration or in steering new development away from higher-risk areas. Likewise, each community faces its floodplain management challenges with a unique set of capacities and resources.
A common thread among many communities is a need for better information and management tools, including:
- Improved mapping of current and future flood hazard areas, including areas at risk from erosion and channel migration;
- Land use planning support, including tools that quantify natural floodplain functions in a way that can be used in benefit-cost analysis, prioritization decisions, and comprehensive planning; and
- Policies and programs that provide an integrated path for communities to meet the diverse set of regulatory requirements that come together in a floodplain, including the National Flood Insurance Program, the Endangered Species Act, and the Clean Water Act.
Some of these gaps may be most effectively filled at the state level so that each individual municipality does not need, for example, to invest in expensive mapping and modeling efforts. Willamette Partnership is working closely with a diverse group of partners to help fill some of these gaps in Oregon, with support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development: Floodplains Overview – Oregon’s Natural Hazards program serves as the state’s coordinating agency for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through an agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Oregon has 258 cities and counties that are subject to flooding, and all participate in the NFIP thereby making flood insurance available to their residents and businesses.
Oregon Hazards Reporter – This interactive map viewer created by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development contains data for the following geo-hazards: flood, tsunami, earthquake, volcano, and landslide. The Hazards Reporter was created to provide detailed hazard data for planners in Oregon.

HCM CITY — HCM City plans to develop a regulatory framework and policies associated with blockchain technology to minimise potential risks in building a smart city, a top city official has said.
Trần Vĩnh Tuyến, vice chairman of the city’s People’s Committee, said: “The city will give top priorities to projects that apply science and technology, especially the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in solving the city’s problems and for smart urban development.”
Speaking at Saigon Hi-tech Park’s annual conference last Friday, Tuyến said the city would work with agencies to build a roadmap for the application of blockchain in the country.
In addition, the Ministry of Science and Technology will give priority to blockchain start-ups through a new project called “Support a National Innovative Start-up Ecosystem by 2025,” he said.
Võ Thị Trung Trinh, deputy director of the city’s Department of Information and Communications, said that blockchain could be used in public services and urban management.
To build a smart city, the city needs technology-based solutions to build a digital government, she added.

These advanced techniques are reshaping the way professionals approach land surveying and construction projects, offering unparalleled precision, efficiency, and data accuracy.
Precision in Surveying
Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) has emerged as a game-changer for land surveyors. This technology utilises laser beams to measure distances with exceptional accuracy, creating detailed 3D representations of the surveyed area. Unlike traditional surveying methods, TLS enables surveyors to capture vast amounts of data rapidly and with a high level of detail.
With TLS, land surveyors can achieve precise measurements of terrain, structures, and topography, reducing the likelihood of errors and ensuring the accuracy of survey data. This not only enhances the quality of survey results but also streamlines the decision-making process for subsequent construction phases.
Efficient Data Collection with Mobile Laser Scanning
Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) takes the advantages of TLS a step further by providing the flexibility to capture data while in motion. Mounted on vehicles, drones, or other mobile platforms, MLS systems can quickly and accurately scan large areas, making them particularly valuable for transportation infrastructure projects and large-scale construction sites.
Civil engineers benefit significantly from MLS technology, as it allows for efficient data collection along roadways, bridges, and other linear structures. The speed and versatility of MLS reduce the time required for data acquisition, enabling engineers to make informed decisions more promptly.
Enhanced Safety and Reduced Costs
The integration of TLS and MLS in construction projects goes beyond precision and efficiency; it also contributes to improved safety and cost savings. The detailed 3D models generated by these technologies assist in identifying potential hazards and clashes early in the planning phase, minimising the risk of accidents during construction.
Furthermore, the accurate as-built documentation provided by TLS and MLS reduces the need for rework, saving both time and resources. Construction ground workers can rely on precise measurements and visualisations, leading to smoother project execution and improved overall efficiency.
Seamless Project Management
Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Mobile Laser Scanning work synergistically to provide comprehensive data capture throughout the project lifecycle. The real-time mapping capabilities, coupled with simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) technologies, empower construction professionals to monitor progress, simulate virtual scenarios, and manage projects seamlessly.
In an era where technological advancements are redefining industries, Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Mobile Laser Scanning stand out as indispensable tools for land surveyors, civil engineers, and construction ground workers. The precision, efficiency, safety enhancements, and cost-saving benefits offered by these technologies are reshaping the landscape of surveying and construction, paving the way for a more accurate, streamlined, and innovative future in these critical fields. As professionals embrace these advancements, they position themselves at the forefront of a rapidly evolving industry, ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow. | urban_planning |

For the third year in a row the cost of buying a home in the New Orleans area has risen.
The 10 year anniversary of Katrina marks a milestone showcasing this city's resilience in its ability to rebuild and heal. The current factors influencing where we see our city today is the result of several factors, some influenced by Katrina and others happening independently.
For starters, New Orleans is a port city by a major waterway, like New York and San Diego. This means it operates somewhere outside of typical housing trends seen in other states such as Kentucky, for example. Like life, the market works in cycles. No matter where it goes, it always comes back around.
Government funding in an effort to spark economic recovery and development following the aftermath of the storm is finally paying off. Those efforts have helped act as a catalyst in attracting independent builders, developers, and home buyers to the city.
In the years following Katrina, the city's initiative to regenerate revenue being lost due to abandoned lots also ended up attracting lots of young buyers and builders with the unprecedented opportunity to own property they otherwise could not afford.
An influx of talented and capable construction workers relocated to the city in efforts to support the new found demand for workers created by the influx in property buyers. Growth can only occur so long as the demands of the consumer are met, and the market not saturated. At one point renovations and construction will peak, but quality housing and roads will continue to appeal for decades more.
There is now more faith and support in the Corps of Engineers who restored and corrected the faulty levee system that existed prior to the storm. Even if another storm like Katrina were to hit the city, history would not repeat itself. The city is stronger, better prepared and more aware that it ever has been.
The ongoing construction of the massive, new Veterans Affairs hospital complex is presently a dominant factor fueling the fire behind New Orleans' hot real estate market. Once the hospital is completed, there will be an influx of new residents. It is this $1 billion dollar project that catalyzed the rebirth of Midd City's residential renovations.
What are the hottest neighborhoods in the New Orleans area right now?
- Garden District: 2,023,888
- Audubon: $1,338,492
- City Park: $1,295,000
- French Quarter: $865,383
- Uptown: $697,090
- Lower Garden District: $539,258
- Mid City: $321,812
- Lakeview: $535,961
- Marigny: $504,560
- Bywater: $382, 214
- Central City: $193, 273
- Seventh Ward: $182,738
(Average listing prices taken from Trulia 8/12/15 report)
Ultimately, New Orleans remains an economic cornerstone because of its investment opportunities. In addition to good food and fun, the region offers not just culturally diverse experiences, but also an eclectic variety of unique properties. Despite everything that has gone against the state of Louisiana, it appears to be primed for a return to prominence. | urban_planning |

The grant is part of $7,584,530 awarded to communities throughout the state from the Local Parks and Recreation Fund (LPRF) program and the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program. The state is also awarding $1,892,642 in grants from the Recreation Trails Program (RTP).
“We are happy to announce grants that will enhance the outdoor experience in communities across our state,” Jim Bryson, deputy commissioner of TDEC, said. “We want Tennesseans to enjoy recreational activity, and we recognize local leaders need funding to make it happen. These grants help meet that need.”
In a joint statement, Sen. Ken Yager, R-Kingston, and Rep. Kelly Keisling, R-Byrdstown, said, “Local parks and greenways are wonderful places for our citizens to relax, exercise and improve their quality of life, or just enjoy our community’s scenic beauty. For these reasons, we strongly supported the grant application. We appreciate our local officials for identifying worthwhile projects and for submitting a successful grant application that will benefit the people of Huntsville.”
Huntsville will use the funding to develop a 14-acre property adjacent to the existing City Park (formerly called Flat Creek Park). Development will include a large pavilion, parking area, and an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant walkway to connect to the existing City Park facilities. The project includes the installation of turf grass and a shade sail at the existing playground. It will pave the entire City Park entrance road and parking area.
The LPRF program provides state funding for the purchase of land for parks, natural areas, greenways, and recreational facilities. LPRF funds also may be used for trail development and capital projects in parks, natural areas, and greenways. The LWCF program provides grants to states to administer to state and local governments for the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation areas and facilities. The grants require a 50-percent match.
The RTP is a federally funded, state administered grant program, providing funds for land acquisition for trails, trail maintenance, trail construction, trail rehabilitation, and trail head support facilities. These grants are distributed in the form of an 80-percent grant with a 20-percent match. | urban_planning |

Construction sector commits to big carbon savings at COP21
The UK Green Building Council has come together with Green Building Councils from around the world to publish a series of commitments from the private sector that would result in massive carbon savings from buildings and construction.
Formally published at Buildings Day at the COP21 international meeting on climate change in Paris last December, the commitments include corporate pledges from more than 50 businesses operating in the UK, and over 100 globally, committing to play their part in delivering the necessary carbon reductions.
UK Green Building Council members to issue corporate pledges on carbon included major construction companies and developers such as The Crown Estate, Marks & Spencer, British Land, LendLease, Land Securities, Derwent, Argent and Kingfisher.
Meanwhile all 74 national Green Building Councils, under the umbrella of the World Green Building Council, committed to driving ‘net zero carbon’ new building and large scale energy efficient refurbishment of the existing building stock. The sector must reduce emissions by 84 gigatonnes of CO2 by 2050, the equivalent of taking 22,000 coalfired power stations out of existence. Green building councils around the world committed to register, renovate or certify over 1.25 billion square metres of green building space (twice the size of Singapore) and train over 127,000 green building professionals by 2020.
Julie Hirigoyen, CEO of the UK Green Building Council, said: “There is a clear business case for the construction and real estate sector to cut carbon emissions from buildings. The climate pledge commitments from our members demonstrate the widespread industry support for urgent action, and point to a market that is transforming itself.”
Meanwhile World Green Building Council CEO Terri Wills commented: “Today marks a turning point in history. Politicians and business leaders now jointly recognise that the way we build can lead to economic growth and prosperity without risking life on the planet, and that the private sector is a driving force in achieving this goal.
“While the building sector is a major contributor to climate change, it is an essential part of the solution – and one that brings immediate benefits to economy and society. Green building councils, their private sector members and government partners have committed to transform the global buildings industry to not only help us reach a two degree world tomorrow, but enable us to realise the direct benefits from a new way of building – today.” | urban_planning |

Understanding the transport and dispersion of pollutants in street canyons, even under neutral atmospheric conditions, is a major challenge. This study presents a dataset obtained from a wind tunnel experiment with two different 3D city models exposed to two wind directions to illustrate the complexity of pollutant transport (both advective and turbulent) between the street canyon and its surroundings. The two city models were designed based on a typical central European city centre with courtyard buildings and pitched roofs. While the first city model had a uniform height, the second model had an uneven height along each street canyon wall. The models were exposed to neutrally stratified atmospheric boundary layer flow in two directions: perpendicular (i.e. 90°) or oblique (i.e. 45°) to the along-axis of the street canyons. The street canyons were polluted by idealised traffic represented by a ground-level line source. The two instantaneous velocity components and the pollutant concentration were measured simultaneously at each of the street canyon openings using laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) and a fast-response flame ionisation detector (FFID), respectively. From the time series of velocities and concentrations, the basic velocity and pollutant concentration statistics (mean, standard deviation) as well as the momentum and turbulent pollutant fluxes were calculated and presented in the Measurement Data and Results section. The data presented are suitable for the validation of CFD models focusing on flow and pollutant transport in a 3D urban environment.

For some, it has sparked the imagination of what could be…
The river is fantastic for boating but for most people, not a swimming destination.
Perhaps this is why talks of swimming pool development on the Thames may cause hesitation. On the contrary, visionary engineers and architects are not discouraged by the current state of the Thames. Instead, they are looking to the future and striving to give more Londoners access to the waterfront.
The Evening Standard reported that as part of ‘London As It Could Be Now’ exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, Studio Octopi civil engineers and Jonathan Cook Landscape Architects have unveiled their vision of a reclaimed river front called The Thames Baths Project. The design, intended to be situated next to Blackfriars Bridge, consist of a floating 25m pool and plunge pool within the river itself, with addition pools on platforms overhead.
According to the design concept, the river lever pools will be outlined by rock cages, allowing people to swim in the Thames without being effected by currents or boat’s wakes. The pools located on the elevated platform overhead will be refilled each day at high time with Thames water.
This is not the first time talks of such developments have occurred. Back in 2011, The BBC News reported on conceptual floating parks along the Thames, some of them also featuring swimming pools.
The inspiration for Studio Octopi and Jonathan Cook Landscape Architects, however, is the potential forthcoming improvements to London’s sewers. Thames Water has proposed the building of a supersewer that would be completed in 2023 and would leave the river clean enough for leisure use. If this were the case, Londoners could witness history repeating itself. When Sir Joseph Bazalgette’s sewer was completed in 1875, people took to the water and floating baths were opened at Charing Cross.
Co-founder of Studio Octopi, Chris Romer-Lee believes, ‘When the supersewer is completed, the water quality will increase substantially.’
What do you think? Would you be a visitor to The Thames Baths? Perhaps this conceptual design will become a reality in the future. Until then, we will have to leave such a feat to our imaginations! | urban_planning |

Eastern Blocks: Concrete Landscapes of the Former Eastern Bloc
Belföldön 15 000 Ft felett ingyenes a kiszállítás
Eastern Blocks is a photographic journey through the cityscapes of the former Eastern Bloc, inviting readers to explore the districts and peripheries that became a playground for mass housing development after WW2, including objects like houses ‘on chicken legs’, soviet ‘flying saucers’ or hammer-shaped tower blocks.
‘Sleeping districts’ of Moscow, Plattenbauten of East Berlin, modernist estates of Warsaw, Kyiv`s Brezhnevki: although these are home to the vast majority of city dwellers, post-war suburbs of central and eastern Europe have been invisible for decades.
Showcasing modernist and brutalist architecture scattered around the cities of Moscow, (East) Berlin, Warsaw, Budapest, Kyiv and Saint Petersburg, the book contains over 100 photographs taken by Zupagrafika throughout the last decade as a reference archive for their illustrated books and kits, with special contributions by local photographers. Divided into 6 chapters, Eastern Blocks includes a foreword by writer and journalist Christopher Beanland, orientative maps, index of architects and informative texts on the featured cities and constructions.

“New York / Paris Program”
Director: Ms. Danielle Smoller, New York
Mr. Patrick O’Connor, Paris
The Shape of Two Cities: New York-Paris Program is designed to develop a student’s critical appreciation of urban forms, their genesis, and the role of architecture, preservation, and planning in the creation of the contemporary urban environment. As a one-year intensive liberal arts program with a strong studio component, the curriculum focuses on both design issues and the urban history and theory of these two cities. In addition the program provides an introduction to the disciplines of architecture, urban studies, and planning for highly motivated undergraduates who have completed at least two years of study at their home institutions or for post baccalaureate students interested in preparing for graduate studies. Previous study in these disciplines is not required for admission to the program, allowing students from a broad range of academic and professional backgrounds to participate. The program’s curriculum is designed to provide students with a better understanding of the design and urban studies disciplines as they are practiced in both New York and Paris, offering a unique context that engages students as well as critics and instructors from architecture, urban studies, and other fields with a critical dialogue across cultures using two of the world’s great cities.
New York and Paris are important global cities, each still representative of its highly unique cultures. For students these cities offer an ideal opportunity to explore the historical, social and political development of urban form, and to clarify the roles of architects, planners and preservationists upon it. During the first semester students are enrolled at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation in New York and enjoy the resources of the GSAPP and Columbia University. The following semester students are based at Reid Hall, Columbia University’s center for French cultural studies, located near the Luxenbourg Gardens in the Montparnasse district of Paris. Reid Hall offers reading rooms, lounges, a 4,000-volume library, administrative offices, and an extensive network of activities to help students bridge the gap between American and French cultures.
The program offers two studio options, Architecture and Urban Studies, with a core curriculum supporting both concentrations. The core curriculum consists of lecture courses and seminars that help ground research projects in the physical, intellectual, historical and cultural contexts of both New York and Paris, providing students with critical analytic methods with which to interpret the development of urban form. Course work is supplemented by visiting lectures and critics representing both the professional and academic communities in each city. Students who elect the Architectural Design Studio pursue a series of increasingly complex studio projects that focus on the analysis, creation and representation of urban architecture. The Urban Studies Workshop engages students with a studio-based approach to the issues and discourse of the contemporary city by exploring a variety of conceptual, analytical and design tools for understanding of and operating within urban contexts through focused individual/collective research or design projects.
The Shape of Two Cities draws students from colleges and universities from across the nation as well as dedicated post graduates from varying backgrounds. The program offers thirty-two course credits applicable toward Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Architecture degrees granted by participating institutions and provides an excellent preparation for graduate and professional study. For post graduates the fall curriculum can be tailored to satisfy pre-graduate school requirements. Upon completion, many students are admitted to graduate programs in architecture, urban planning, and historic preservation at universities including Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, M.I.T., Pennsylvania, and Yale. | urban_planning |

Thinking of your next picnic spot? Or a great place to hold your next corporate event? In an ever-hustling, ever-moving city like San Francisco, if you want to find peace among nature’s beatific vistas, Lake Merced Park is a great bet. Built around one of San Francisco’s largest freshwater lakes, Lake Merced, the park is a 614-acre property with enough space for three golf courses, convenient jogging paths and bird watching facilities.
It’s a park that’s been there for a long time
The park has been an important part of San Francisco’s history and community life since the 19th century. Used as a ranch during Mexican rule to being witness to a duel-to-death between a US Senator and a Supreme Court judge in the 1850s, this place has seen it all and has many interesting stories to tell as you walk or cycle around the lake’s periphery. The Lake Merced Park is now managed by the Recreation and Parks department of San Francisco.
Enjoy yourself just the way you want to
As there is no space constraint, this can be an excellent venue for community get-togethers. You can organize office picnics and events, for not only your employees but also their families, where everyone will get a lot of lush green space to run around in and have fun. The park hosts migratory birds in some seasons, which can be an intriguing sight while you picnic at the park.
Other things you would love
Barbeque parties can also be hosted conveniently in Lake Merced Park as the wide, open expanse helps prevent fire hazards and respiratory issues that may arise in a smaller or closed area. There is ample parking space in and around the park, so you can have a big event without bothering about a possible parking logjam.
You can incorporate boating in the placid Lake Merced or bicycling along it on lush green paths as part of your company picnic or community event, to surprise your guests with a break from the monotonous and relaxing tryst with nature.

1954 - The Main Art Gallery designed by Herbert Bayer.
1966 - The W.E. Scott Theater and Solarium designed by Joseph R. Pelich.
1976 - The Art Museum and Porte Cochere designed by O’Neil Ford Associates.
Relying upon a building condition assessment conducted in 2022 by the architectural firm Bennett Partners, the City’s Property Management Department has determined that 1300 Gendy requires repairs with an aggregate cost of approximately $26 million. In view of these repair needs and the scarcity of resources to address them, Mayor Mattie Parker proposed that the City Council appoint a task force on future uses of 1300 Gendy. This task force is charged with the responsibility to perform the following tasks:
Review the 2022 building condition assessment,
Assess existing and potential uses of the building,
Assess potential funding sources for necessary repairs, renovations, and ongoing maintenance,
Conduct one or more public hearings and otherwise receive public comments,
Recommend future uses of the building,
Recommend funding sources for necessary repairs, renovations, and ongoing maintenance, and
Present a final report to the City Council no later than the work session on May 2, 2023. | urban_planning |

April 25, 2019
In a new report, Point Blue Conservation Science, in partnership with the County of San Mateo’s Office of Sustainability, the California State Coastal Conservancy, and local stakeholders, evaluated multiple benefits of tidal marshes along San Mateo County baylands in terms of supporting tidal marsh biodiversity, reducing wave energy hitting the shoreline, and keeping carbon stored in vegetation. We then modeled how these benefits were projected to change with rising seas and sediment availability through 2100.
Maps of where and how multiple-benefits are projected to shift with rising seas allow decision makers to better integrate natural and built assets into adaptation planning by providing information that can:
- Support timing and prioritization of adaptation actions;
- Account for benefits derived from natural and nature-based adaptation strategies (often missing from traditional cost-benefit analyses);
- Develop adaptation responses that can achieve multiple objectives; and
- More accurately assess tradeoffs when weighing adaptation options.
Our case study provides a framework that others can modify and improve upon to better incorporate natural resources into their vulnerability and adaptation planning efforts. The team continues to engage with decision-makers to integrate this more detailed risk assessment of tidal wetlands with concurrent vulnerability and adaptation planning efforts occurring at local and regional scales.

Property tycoon Andrew Tan-led Megaworld Corp. announced Wednesday that it sold 10,451 residential units worth about P37.1 billion last year, thus making it the biggest residential developer in the country for the year.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Megaworld said the residential units sold last year translated to a total saleable area of more than 400,000 square meters for the full year 2011.
“The total saleable area represents at least a 35-percent lead over our closest competitor,” the Megaworld disclosure said.
Based on these indicators, Megaworld said it was the number one residential developer in terms of units, sales value and total saleable area for the whole year of 2011.
Megaworld attributed such sales growth to its “superior” portfolio and “sterling” track record in the Philippine property market.
Megaworld is a pioneering developer of integrated live-work-play-learn township communities in the country. It has seven such mega-community projects on the rise in the most strategic locations in Metro Manila, namely, Eastwood City and Manhattan Garden City in Quezon City; McKinley Hill, McKinley West and Bonifacio Uptown in Fort Bonifacio; and Newport City in Pasay City. It has also recently launched its first project in Cebu called Mactan Newtown. Doris C. Dumlao | urban_planning |

It is by far the widest space between the urban areas of London and the towns stretching from Basildon to Southend where just a few remaining short gaps keep them apart. You might imagine that five miles of protected space would be more than enough to prevent coalescence of these towns with London for the foreseeable future, but with new draft Local Plans on the table from Brentwood and Basildon there is a real danger that this remaining stretch of green belt could disappear entirely within the next two decades.
The stretch of green belt along the A127 West of Basildon is actually part of the Borough of Brentwood with its main town a few miles to the North. In the last few years Brentwood has been faced with a problem. Like all towns it has a need to build new houses but it wants to protect its own surrounding green fields. The council decided a few years ago that the solution was to build 1500 new homes around West Horndon, a move that was vigorously fought by residents of the village. They soon managed to elect a councillor who saw things more in their favour.
Then Brentwood saw that Basildon was looking to fulfill its housing need by building a western urban extension up to its border with Brentwood. The Brentwood Council grabbed its opportunity and applied the principle of "Duty to Cooperate" from the recently enacted Localism Act to force Basildon to consider a joint development called Dunton Garden Suburb of up to 6000 homes. They failed to agree on the plans, yet both boroughs plan to go ahead with their halves of the project independently.
|The Last Five Miles (click to enlarge)|
As if pressure from housing is not enough the area has recently been hit by a new threat. One of three possible routes for a motorway connecting the proposed Thames Crossing to the M25 runs straight into the area and dumps its traffic on the A127 after passing through the middle of the proposed Dunton Garden Suburb.
If all that goes ahead it will fill most of the two mile gap between West Horndon and Basildon leaving just the three miles of space between West Horndon and Upminster to prevent linkage with the urban extent of Greater London. While most people are now aware of the threat to Dunton few have noticed that this other three miles of space are also about to go.
When the M25 was being widened the highways authority needed a base to work from so they obtained permission to temporarily use a space in the green belt near junction 29 on the south side of the A127. With the roadworks completed the General Permitted Development Order required that the land be returned to its original state of open countryside, but that did not happen. Instead Brentwood decided to take the opportunity of declaring it a brownfield site in the green belt to be kept for further employment use. Their plan now is to move businesses from an industrial area in West Horndon to this site (which they declared as the "Brentwood Enterprise Park") and build another 500 homes in West Horndon on the vacated land.
Of course this does not suit the businesses in West Horndon at all. They rely on the station there to connect with London, but that is not going to be allowed to get in Brentwood's way. Nearby residents who had been assured that everything would go back to normal did not like it either. Their comments submitted to an earlier public consultation can be found here.
Brentwood's new draft Local Plan which is about to go out for consultation reveals a big surprise. Rather than the small "brownfiled" area previously defined as the Enterprise Park a much larger area has been given this name. It circles round a number of other businesses in an elliptical area of green belt about two miles across. Some of the comments from residents suggest that at least some of these sites had been used illegally without planning permission. In one fell swoop the remaining green belt keeping the towns of South Essex apart from London will be all but lost. New businesses will be attracted to the Enterprise Park, perhaps encouraged by the new connection to the Thames crossing. Before long they might be used to justify new housing and infrastructure to fill in the remaining gaps. It may take as little as twenty years for the process to be complete.
If you want to try to stop it all, please help by responding to the three consultations running until the 24th March 2016: The Basildon Local Plan, The Brentwood Local Plan and The Thames Crossing. | urban_planning |

Among the new proposals, no-fault, or Section 21, evictions which currently allow landlords to take back possession from tenants without giving a reason will be scrapped, with housing secretary Michael Gove saying a new ombudsman will be set up to oversee dispute resolutions.
As well as ending no-fault evictions, the bill will seek to give people the legal right to request having a pet in their home. Landlords will legally have to consider these requests, and will not be able to unreasonably refuse.
The government has said that landlords will also be able to more easily evict anti-social tenants, with reduced notice periods for “irresponsible” renters.
Commenting on the new bill, transport minister Richard Holden told Sky News the legislation being unveiled today will stop tenants “causing real problems” with antisocial behaviour, while also giving greater protections to renters.
“It’s not about the landlords — it’s about the other tenants who might live in the same block or in the same street as somebody else”, he said, adding: “I think we’re going to strike the right balance here between ensuring that renters can have somewhere safe and secure to live and have a normal life there, and also ensure that some rogue tenants don’t disrupt the entire neighbourhood for people as well”.
The government expects the plans will impact 11 million tenants and two million landlords in England.
Speaking to Sky News, shadow housing minister Matthew Pennycook said his party will “back the builders not the blockers”, adding that Labour would “unashamedly” increase rates of housebuilding.
He said a Labour government would reform the planning system entirely, meaning it would do away with the government’s “arbitrary” and now optional target of 300,000 new homes per year in favour of a system that would be based on local requirements.
“We have to have a planning system that meets objectively assessed housing need. That’s what the government has rowed away from,” he said.
He added that ministers have given councils “every excuse in the book” to not meet their local targets and that Labour would build “in the region” of 300,000 new homes per year.
“We want to see a marked increase in affordable housing, particularly genuinely affordable social rented homes, we want to see a better regulated private renting sector, and we want to see a better offer for those who aspire to home ownership”, he said.
Some campaigners have described the bill as a “once-in-a-generation” announcement — but there are also warnings that some landlords will still find ways to get around the new proposals.
Dan Wilson Craw, acting director of campaign group Generation Rent, said: “Abolishing [no-fault evictions] will take away much of the stress of renting and improve communication and trust between tenants and landlords”.
Spokeswoman for the London Renters Union Siobhan Donnachie called the bill “long overdue” and said “inflation-busting rent” will mean renters will still feel insecure.
Ben Beadle, chief executive of the National Residential Landlords Association, suggested that the Bill lacks detail, saying: “Responsible landlords need to be confident that when Section 21 ends, where they have a legitimate reason, they will be able to repossess their properties as quickly as possible.
“Without this assurance, the Bill will only exacerbate the rental housing supply crisis many tenants now face”.
Housing secretary Michael Gove said: “Too many renters are living in damp, unsafe, cold homes, powerless to put things right, and with the threat of sudden eviction hanging over them.
“This government is determined to tackle these injustices by offering a new deal to those living in the private rented sector; one with quality, affordability and fairness at its heart.”
Lisa Nandy, the shadow housing secretary, said Labour would go further, with plans to introduce “a four-month notice period for landlords, a national register of landlords, and a host of new rights for tenants – including the right to make alterations to your home, to request speedy repairs, and to have pets”. | urban_planning |

Often, these ports are part of a capitol, such as London and London port, but with in-land capitols a main port is chosen, such as Paris and Le Havre.
Ports are places where gamers have their family homes and where commercial and governmental business takes place. They are also social hubs where gamers meet and experience the local culture and a range of different activities.
You arrive in a port by the sea and leave your ship at the harbour to enter town. The appearance of the ports is inspired by history, culture and the design style of historical games like Assassins Creed. You can walk through the streets where you see people going about their business. Laborers, shoppers, merchants and officials, horse and carts rolling down the streets, construction workers building and repairing, market vendors selling their goods, etc.
The harbour entrance will be sided by the fortress defending the port. A religious building and a market square will be the center-pieces of the port, surrounded by a commercial zone, an industry zone, a zone with public or governmental buildings and a zone with housing. All ports will look different but they will share the same layout of zones, making it easier for gamers to find their way around.
In the port the gamer can interact with vendors to access the markets. The gamer can also go through doors to enter the interior of specific establishments, such as the Inn, Tavern, Shipyard, Post Office, Bank, Club, Weaponsmith, Hospital, Barracks, Church, Governor’s Mansion, Printshop, Tailor, Fishing Station, etc. These interiors will usually be owned and managed by other gamers.
Gamers will have their family home in a residential area. Commoners live in town houses and nobility in mansions, all of different degrees of luxury and size, into which families can move. A specific front door in a specific street gives access to the interior of a specific occupant.
Ports will be capable of handling the presence of large amounts of gamers and npc characters, making them seem alive. With the day and night cycle, life on the streets will change and businesses will open and close. If a port becomes densely occupied by gamers the size of the port can be doubled to prevent overcrowding and congested businesses. | urban_planning |

All private educational institutions are also advised to close schools and colleges.
The District Disaster Management Authority, in an advisory, said that all corporate offices and private institutions are advised to guide employees to work from home so that traffic congestion can be avoided.
“In view of heavy rainfall prediction for the district Gurugram on September 23, there are chances of waterlogging and traffic congestion. Therefore, all corporate offices and private institutions in the district are advised to guide their employees to work from home on Friday so that traffic congestion can be avoided and repair works of roads and drains can be carried out smoothly by civic agencies,” it said.
Heavy rains lashed parts of Delhi-NCR on Thursday, leading to waterlogging in several areas. Visuals showed commuters wading through water-logged areas.
A traffic police advisory on Thursday read, "Due to continuous heavy rainfall in Gurugram, there is waterlogging at some places and the traffic is moving at a slow speed. Therefore, we request all of you that you should come out of the house only when necessary.”
More than 1,000 traffic police personnel were deployed across the city to decongest roads.

Possinger Housing Policy Fellowship
In 2019 PHFA created the Housing Policy Fellowship to further the Agency's mission and foster the development of new leaders in the housing and community development field. In 2021, the fellowship was renamed the Kathy A. Possinger Housing Policy Fellowship in honor of PHFA board designee and affordable housing champion Kathy A. Possinger. During her two-decade career, Possinger served Pennsylvanians through her housing work in both the public and private sectors. She held a variety of positions within the housing field including Special Advisor to the acting secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, Director of the Center for Community and Housing Development, Executive Director of Tri County Community Action, and the City of Harrisburg’s Deputy Director of Housing.
The goal of this program is to support the development of new perspectives and approaches to significant unmet housing or community development needs across Pennsylvania through a self-directed research project. The program will also cultivate new housing and community development leaders.
- Stipend: Each fellow receives a stipend of $1,000 per month ($12,000 maximum), to be used for travel, conferences, technology, research tools, and/or administrative expenses.
- Tenure: Maximum one year, beginning within six months of receipt of award letter (Spring 2023).
- Application period is currently closed. Please return to this page in Spring 2023 for updates.
The Fellowship is open to anyone who meets the following criteria:
- A legal resident of Pennsylvania
- Over the age of 18 years
Applicants do not need to have an institutional, organizational, or governmental affiliation. Applicants could be currently enrolled students (graduate, undergraduate, full-time, or part-time), employees of a non-profit, for-profit, or unit of government, or even self-employed.
Fellowship eligibility has been left intentionally broad to ensure it is accessible to all Pennsylvanians with a relevant research project in need of financial support.
Fellowship projects must have a connection to housing and community development in Pennsylvania. The findings from and application of Fellowship research should be relevant and useful in expanding PHFA’s and other housing policy groups' knowledge of the topic of study. Projects that utilize a unique perspective or innovative solution/methodology are encouraged. Additional details on project topics can be found in the Fellowship Application.
How to Apply
The 2023 Fellowship Application period is closed. Please return to this page in Spring 2023 if you are interested in applying for the 2024 Fellowship.

Housing Policy Fellows and Projects
Carolyn Ristau: Ms. Ristau's fellowship project will focus on zoning districts in the city of Pittsburgh to determine whether an exclusionary pattern exists that affects housing availability for residents. Her research will seek to better understand local conditions, how and why the zoning districts were established, and ultimately determine if there is a pattern of single-family zoning districts in some neighborhoods and multifamily zoning districts in others.
Rachel Fawcett: Ms. Fawcett's fellowship project provides an overview of the community land trust model and existing literature, context, and insight into the existing CLTs in Pennsylvania, and an in-depth look into the State College Community Land Trust. | urban_planning |

This is another modern retail park being developed by the REDKOM Group, this time at Warszawska Street in Bielsko-Biała. The project is carried out by related company REDKOM Park Bielsko.
The investment consists in the reconstruction of the existing shopping mall post TESCO in order to obtain an open space for the planned retail park, with entrances to the premises directly from the parking lot, and the addition of a new facility adjacent to the existing building.
The facility is being built near the junction to the S1 expressway, at the entrance to the city center, in the immediate vicinity of existing facilities such as: Castorama, Merkury Market and KFC. It will become the largest retail park in the city. On approx. 20,000 sqm there will be over 20 stores of well-known and popular brands and a convenient car parking for customers. Along with the surrounding commercial facilities, incl. C.H. Sarni Stok, it will be the largest congregation of trade and services in Bielsko-Biała.
The opening of the retail park is planned for the fourth quarter of 2024. At the same time, underway is conceptual work on the next stages of the construction of two more buildings, which will make the retail and service area of the facility even more attractive.
The rebuilt shopping centre will be a unique point on the map of the city and the region, combining commercial, gastronomic and entertainment functions. Park Bielsko is part of the current trend of revitalizing older and ineffective retail concepts. | urban_planning |

It’s their home, and they want to ensure that their neighborhood is full of entertainment, activities and a community environment for those who live, work and play downtown.
That’s why Kraus-Anderson jumped at the chance to be part of a group helping to facilitate a downtown skating rink here in Minneapolis. The skating rink opened as part of Holidazzle in Loring Park and will continue to be used through the winter skating season.
The rink itself is a collaborative effort between the Minneapolis Downtown Council, Minneapolis SafeZone Collaborative and the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board. Kraus-Anderson is one of six additional supporting partners that helped make the rink possible.
You can stop by and enjoy the downtown skating rink during Holidazzle on Thursdays and Fridays from 5-9 pm and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am-9 pm between now and December 20.
“Community events build community pride, and they allow everyone not only working and living here but also visiting to have fun,” Kraus-Anderson President & CEO Bruce Engelsma said. “We talk a lot about creating an environment in downtown that is conducive to recruiting and retaining top talent. Keeping Minneapolis thriving, exciting and vibrant is a big part of that.”
Kraus-Anderson knows as well as anyone the value of a strong, close-knit and engaging community. They’ve been in downtown for 118 years, and they’ve seen the growth and development that has taken place over the decades. They’re currently seeing a major boom in the Downtown East area, and they’ll be part of it as they begin construction on their new headquarters next year.
So being able to create an environment that is inviting and full of activities is an important component. The skating rink accomplishes this while also paying tribute to our state’s long history of skating outdoors.
That, along with Holidazzle’s long tradition, makes it a win-win for everyone to come down and take part this holiday season.
“Holidazzle encourages people to come down, celebrate and hopefully take in some of the great venues downtown,” Engelsma said. “Try out the restaurants, get exposed to the retail and theater scene, and really enjoy everything we have to offer.”
The Holidazzle hours make it easy for people to stop down and skate, have fun and enjoy the outdoors before going to any of the various restaurants, shops or venues available throughout downtown.
“Skating is a Minnesota thing,” Engelsma said. “It’s a way for people to celebrate the season in Loring Park, and it’s a fun way to celebrate together as a community.”
Holidazzle continues to bring people together. It’s a tradition that Minneapolis is proud of, and Kraus-Anderson—a longtime part of the Minneapolis community—is proud to take part.
“It’s a great way to give people a chance to come down and see our city,” he said. “There is so much going on here in downtown. It’s a wonderful time to enjoy the holidays and a little skating together.” | urban_planning |

Whether you’re a first-time buyer of townhouse or condo for sale Bradford, empty-nester, or urban dweller seeking a change of pace, understanding the differences between both can help you determine which option suits your needs and preferences.
Condominiums are typically units within a larger building or complex, where individual owners own their units but share common areas and amenities with other residents. Condo living offers several advantages, including:
- Low maintenance: Condo owners enjoy low-maintenance living, as exterior upkeep, landscaping, and common area maintenance are typically managed by the condo association.
- Amenities: Many condominium complexes offer a range of amenities, such as fitness centers, swimming pools, concierge services, and communal gathering spaces, enhancing residents’ quality of life.
- Affordability: Condos often come with a lower price point compared to single-family homes or townhouses, making them more accessible to first-time buyers or those looking to downsize.
- Security: Condo buildings often feature security measures such as gated entrances, surveillance cameras, and secure entry systems, providing residents with peace of mind.
Townhouses are multi-story properties that share walls with neighboring units, offering a balance between the privacy of a single-family home and the convenience of a condominium. Townhouse living has its own set of advantages, including:
- Privacy: Townhouses typically offer more privacy compared to condos, as they have separate entrances and fewer shared walls with neighbors.
- Outdoor space: Many townhouses come with private outdoor areas, such as patios, balconies, or rooftop terraces, providing residents with opportunities for gardening, outdoor dining, and relaxation.
- Flexibility: Townhouses often feature flexible floor plans, with multi-level layouts that offer separate living and sleeping areas, as well as additional space for home offices, guest rooms, or storage.
- Sense of community: While townhouses offer privacy, they also foster a sense of community among residents, with shared amenities such as courtyards, playgrounds, or community gardens where neighbors can socialize and connect.
Choosing between condo living and townhouse living ultimately depends on your lifestyle preferences, budget, and priorities. Condo living offers low-maintenance, affordability, and access to amenities, while townhouse living provides more privacy, outdoor space, and flexibility in floor plans. Whether you value convenience, community, or autonomy, weighing the pros and cons of each option can help you make an informed decision and find the right home for your needs. | urban_planning |

Starting around Feb. 1, bidders in the market for used city property can head to the Web site of Public Surplus, a Utah company that operates an eBay-style service for local governments.
Public Surplus' first auctions of city property will be a pilot project. If the sales succeed, the city will seek bids from companies interested in setting up a permanent city-auction program.
"This pilot to sell surplus city goods is an innovative way for the city to raise revenue through technology," said Julianne Cho, a spokeswoman for the Department of Citywide Administrative Services.
Internet auctions bring prices 35 percent to 250 percent higher than what governments get from live auctions, said Eric Heaps, Public Surplus' chief operating officer.
Public Surplus' Web site carries hundreds of used and surplus items from governments across the country - everything from police motorcycles, fire trucks and chain saws to diapers, clothing and artificial Christmas trees.

Heather Lands, an urban design and rezoning project of a 21-acre site, centrally located in Vancouver, BC on unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh Nations (MST), is rooted in the processes of reconciliation and is an unprecedented joint venture partnership between Canada Lands Company and the MST Development Corporation.
The project vision is to recognize the traditions, culture and values of the MST and to create a sustainable new neighbourhood that will be a place to welcome and connect all people for generations to come. The MST Nations, who have occupied these territories since time immemorial, will own the lands in perpetuity. When complete, the development will include approximately 2,600 residential units, including a range of affordable housing options, commercial spaces including office and retail, a childcare centre, a school, an MST cultural centre and over 4 acres of public space.
DIALOG's multidisciplinary team is proud to have provided architecture, planning & urban design, and landscape architecture services to this award winning project.
Congratulations to the entire project team, including: Canada Lands Company, MST Partnership, the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil Waututh cultural liaisons and communities, Arbortech Consulting, Bunt & Associates, Co-Design Group, Get the Picture, Kerr Wood Leidal Associates, local, MTD - Matthew Thomson Design, OSM Illustration, Piteau Associates, and Principle Architecture.
The Canadian Institute of Planners
Award for Planning Excellence 2021, Planning for Reconciliation
The annual awards, which recognize innovation, impact on the profession, overall presentation, and implementation potential, are the highest level of recognition the Institute bestows on professional planning projects.
A total of 53 national and international projects were received across eleven categories, and rigorously evaluated over three months by a jury comprised of planning professionals from across the country. This process resulted in a total of 18 awards, including, for the first time in more than a decade, an award of “Excellence” in each category, including Heather Lands in the Planning for Reconciliation category.
"The jury applauds this plan for not only being an example of thoughtful and culturally integrated design and consultation, but also for being an excellent example of co-creation and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous governments and developers. In particular, the jury was impressed with the development of the Heather Lands Cultural Interpretative Plan that collected the stories and ideas shared by the Nations which were used to guide the development of the Rezoning Plan.
The result of a robust and culturally appropriate planning process that upholds the integrity of Indigenous expression, has created an inspiring, progressive, and sustainable new neighbourhood that will be a beautiful space to benefit the community harmoniously integrated with the neighbourhood that is there today. Jury members congratulate CLC, MST and DIALOG for truly reflecting the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s intent that the preservation, revitalization and strengthening of Indigenous cultures are best managed by Indigenous people and communities. The Heather Lands Rezoning Plan and its planning process offer a new relationship model for planning for reconciliation in communities across Canada."

Middle-class families lived in the building's eight apartments until the outbreak of the Lebanese civil war. That is when Christian militiamen moved in.
The Barakat building became a vantage point for snipers overlooking a combat zone. The building was sentenced for demolition in 1997 when the owners decided to sell the property. In 2003 the municipality of Beirut issued a decree of expropriation for public interest. The decree stated that the Barakat building will be restored to accommodate a memory museum and a cultural center (which will later be known as "Beit Beirut") with objects tracing the 7000-year history of the city. | urban_planning |

The new bridge is the tallest in Ukraine at 166 meters. It is expected to dramatically improve transport connectivity in the city and surrounding region. Construction work was carried out by Turkey’s Onur Group Ukraine, which won a 2020 tender to take over the unfinished project following years of delays that had transformed the bridge into a symbol of state inefficiency and corruption.
The newly opened bridge in Zaporizhia is regarded by many observers as a personal PR victory for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who was on hand to lead the official opening ceremony.
Zelenskyy has made infrastructure projects one of the key focuses of his presidency and has channeled considerable state funds into increased road repair and construction work across the country. While a range of serious questions remain over the transparency of government spending on Ukraine’s infrastructure upgrade, the country’s visibly improved road network has proven popular and won Zelenskyy plaudits. | urban_planning |

Construction works for a new housing development in Worksop, Nottinghamshire will soon be taking place.
Leading midlands-based contractor, G F Tomlinson, has been appointed to construct and design 90 houses on the vacant site off Radford Street, which has been procured through the Pagabo Framework for Major Construction Works.
The Manton Development will comprise of a mix of two, three and four-bedroom houses, built over two and three-storeys, as well as two-bedroom bungalows. The site will also include green and open spaces, cycle routes and places for play and social interaction.
All homes will benefit from energy efficient air source heat pumps, solar panels, highly insulated walls, floors, and roofs, and in addition – electrical vehicle charging points will be installed for residents, contributing to the reduction of fossil fuel usage.
Planning permission was originally granted in spring 2019 for the site, with future plans for the project to seek further permission for a scheme of one and two-bedroom apartments – taking the final development up to approximately 120 homes.
The first phase of the build will see the council deliver its very first low-carbon modular homes which form a key part of its vision to increase housing stock, contribute to net zero ambitions, and encourage growth and investment within the local economy.
Chris Flint, Managing Director at G F Tomlinson, said: “It’s fantastic to be working with Bassetlaw District Council on this high-profile development and we look forward to starting on the low carbon modular housing scheme in Worksop, which will see 90 homes brought to the market town.
“The scheme forms a key part of the council’s vision to significantly transform the local economy, by encouraging growth and investment in the area, allowing more people to live and work in the region. We look forward to seeing the development take shape over the next few months.”
Councillor Steve Scotthorne, Cabinet Member for Housing at Bassetlaw District Council, said: “This project will deliver a modern, innovative and energy efficient housing scheme that improves neighbourhoods, supports local jobs, and continues our ambition to increase the amount of Council Housing in our District.
“This is the Council’s first modular home development, which will provide future residents with well insulated and energy efficient homes that are powered by low carbon energy, and work on this exciting first phase is expected to begin in June.
“I am looking forward to seeing how this project grows over the coming months and we are delighted to be working with G F Tomlinson who has a fantastic track record of delivering projects of this kind.”

As far back as August 2017, the Cherries purchased the site and submitted a planning application for the 57-acre site.
At the time it had hoped the new development would include ten full-size pitches, three junior pitches, an indoor artificial playing surface, state-of-the-art medical, fitness, sports science and rehabilitation facilities, administrative space and a press conference theatre.
The news came just one month after the announcement which saw AFC Bournemouth identify the Athletics Stadium in Kings Park as the preferred site for a brand new stadium.
The club received planning approval later that year but in September 2018, it was announced that the development of both the training ground complex and new stadium work had been put on hold.
By July 2019, AFC Bournemouth had submitted revised plans for the development of the Canford Magna site.
The new facilities will include nine full-size pitches, three junior pitches, three goalkeeping pitches, an indoor artificial playing surface and an outdoor artificial playing surface, as well as state-of-the-art medical, fitness, sports science and rehabilitation facilities, administrative space and a press conference theatre.
However, with the world struck by a global pandemic in 2020, Premier League football was suspended and then re-started, with the Cherries ultimately relegated from the Premier League, the project was put on hold once again.
However, less than two years on, following the Cherries promotion back to the top flight of English football a brief, but well-received statement, on the Cherries official website, stated that work has begun on installing both an outside artificial pitch and a domed indoor pitch at the facility, alongside temporary offices for the club’s academy setup.
AFC Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake told afcb.co.uk…
“We are delighted to make this step which will help our thriving academy system.
“Our initial plans for the training ground were heavily hit by the Covid pandemic, but we are pleased to get this work started with the longer-term plan of the first team joining the initial academy development when the time is right.
“It’s a really positive step for everyone at the football club and we are really pleased to begin development of this first phase of work for our academy.”
You would assume the second phase will be pending this season’s progress… Stay up and full steam ahead. Relegated and at least we have built an academy…

PULASKI, NY (October 15, 2008) – In one of the most significant residential projects to date for the Village of Pulaski, state and local officials today joined with representatives from The Community Preservation Corporation (CPC) to celebrate the transformation of two deteriorating buildings into a modern new residential complex of affordable rental units.
Formerly known as Scotch Grove Apartments, the property was extensively rehabilitated with new kitchens and bathrooms; new walls and ceilings to insulate and replace rotted framing; a new truss roof with architectural shingles; new windows and doors; new siding and stonework; new underground pipes to move rainwater away from the building; extensive landscaping and new sidewalks. The kitchens were equipped with new cabinets, granite counter-tops and energy efficient appliances and the bathrooms with porcelain tile. New wood flooring was also installed throughout the apartments.
Renamed Rose May Manor, the property is located just one block from Salina Street, which is the village’s main road and about 30 miles south of Fort Drum, home to some 10,000 military personnel and their families.
“This is a very significant development for our Village as these apartments will help satisfy a growing demand for residential facilities resulting from the increase in military personnel and their families assigned to the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division at nearby Fort Drum,” said Village Mayor Ernest C. Wheeler.
CPC, a not-for-profit mortgage lender, provided a $970,000 loan for the purchase and rehabilitation of the property. The newly rehabilitated complex features 38 affordable rental apartments with green features. The property’s two buildings comprise 12 one-bedroom units, 18 two-bedroom units and 8 three-bedroom units. The apartments will rent from 475 for a one-bedroom to $750 for a three-bedroom unit.
Nick Petragnani, Regional Director of CPC’s Central New York office in Syracuse, said: “CPC is pleased to have played a key role in helping to finance this critically important residential project for the Village of Pulaski and the surrounding area where demand is on the rise for new affordable housing.”
New York State Assemblyman William A. Barclay noted: “The completion of Rose May Manor will allow the Village of Pulaski to continue to serve as an important residential destination in our region. Rose May Manor will provide nearby residents with another affordable housing option, something our area is in need of. I congratulate everyone who made this day possible.”
Guy DeMascole, the developer of Rose May Manor, is the founder, owner and president of DeMascole Kitchen, Bath & Tile, Syracuse, which has been in business since 1981.
“I am very proud to have been given the opportunity to transform this property into a vibrant new residential community in the heart of the Village of Pulaski. I commend CPC for its ongoing commitment to provide financing for much-needed affordable housing in our region,” said Mr. DeMascole.
The Community Preservation Corporation is a not-for-profit mortgage lender that finances residential multifamily development throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Since its founding in 1974, CPC has invested more than $7 billion in more than 150,000 units of housing. | urban_planning |

Picture a construction site: bulldozers, dump trucks, frontend loaders, construction crews. The engineer has the plan that makes sense of it all. The plan can take an area that seems impassable and rugged, transforming it. It transforms an area full of obstacles into a main artery of activity. God is our engineer that holds the vision and master plan. When he clears the path: filling our valleys, making our mountains straight and level, and smoothing out our rough places — we don’t always understand that it is a period of construction.

Tents would need to be at least 50 feet away from those places.
Mayor Libby Schaaf said the city would not cite or arrest anyone for camping, and would instead help make sure people follow the rules if there is a health or safety issue.
“In some cases, that conflict will only be resolved by moving that encampment, either to a less impactful place, or by getting those people into shelter,” said Schaaf.
City Councilmember Noel Gallo told KCBS Radio that business owners have complained about tents on sidewalks that have deferred customers from entering their stores and restaurants.
“If I don’t have a safe, clean, healthy environment, as a customer, I’m not going there,” he said. “And so, they want to maintain, to make sure you’re not sleeping on their front door.”
Meanwhile, advocates argue the plan criminalizes the homeless by pushing them out to areas without access to transportation, grocery stores and resources.
A protest against the policy is planned for Monday. | urban_planning |

The Adaptive Stop Sign is a new stop sign converting the sign into a traffic signal during times of high-volume traffic and at other times as a standard stop sign. A small, sign mounted Traffic Signal Controller changes the signal lights and wirelessly communicates with other intersection signs, autonomous vehicles and monitoring facilities on signal and system status. A small sign mounted Traffic Flow Sensor System may be implemented for the detection of vehicle presence, location, speed, size and type of vehicle to maximize safety and traffic flow though intersections. The Adaptive Stop Sign could substantially improve intersection safety and efficiency, and reduce driver wait times, gas and frustration. Adaptive Stop Signs would be solar powered, quick and easy to install and maintain, and at a fraction of the cost of standard traffic control signals.
The Adaptive Traffic Signal is a new traffic signal implementing a large, bright, LED display panel with signal, timing status and animation to improve intersection safety and efficiency. The Adaptive Traffic Signal implements the small, wireless Traffic Signal Controller and Traffic Flow Sensor System mounted on the traffic signal (as described above). Intersection safety could be greatly enhanced with larger, brighter signal lights that can also display signal light timing status so driver’s see a countdown clock (or the like) to determine when the signal light will change.
PRODUCT FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Stop sign or traffic signal functions
- Flashing lights activated when needed
- Improved traffic control
- Economical intersection signals
- Safer and more efficient than regular stop sign
- Less costly than traffic lights
- Larger, brighter display
- Wireless traffic control system
- Traffic flow sensor
The Adaptive Stop Sign is an enhanced stop sign that works as a traffic signal. The stop sign contains the word STOP, but includes lights that flash green, yellow and red in an active state for rush hour or heavy traffic and converts to a standard stop sign in an inactive state at other times.
The Adaptive Stop Sign includes a small, wireless Traffic Flow Sensor System and/or Traffic Signal Controller to monitor traffic conditions and use this information to control the signal light timing when active and turn the signal lights off when inactive, converting back to a standard stop sign. The Traffic Flow Sensor System consists of one or more cameras, lidar, and/or radar sensors or any combination, artificial intelligence (AI) and a unique neural network design to detect the presence, location, speed and type of vehicles approaching an intersection and wirelessly transmit this information to the Traffic Signal Controller to adaptively control the signal light timing. The Traffic Signal Controller would wirelessly transmit this signal light timing to other Adaptive Stop Signs for other directions and to autonomous vehicles and/or vehicles equipped for vehicle to vehicle communication to allow drivers to be notified of the signal light status within the vehicle. For example, if no traffic is detected in a direction, the opposing traffic signal light would stay Green. Or if a large truck or bus is approaching, particularly at a high rate of speed, the Green light for the truck’s direction would stay Green until the truck has left the intersection.
The Adaptive Traffic Signal includes similar wireless Traffic Flow Sensor System and/or Traffic Signal Controller (as above) but consists of a large, bright LED display panel that will not only provide the signal light, but can provide signal light countdown timer, and be animated in a way to draw driver attention and action, particularly as signal lights change from Yellow to Red with the intent of reducing intersection accidents.
Materials needed to produce the Adaptive Traffic Signal:
- Metal sign
- Multi-colored lights
- Traffic Flow Sensor System
- Traffic Signal Controller
- Solar panels and battery pack

Traffic flow forecasting is a critical task in transportation and urban planning that aims to predict future traffic conditions based on historical data. The integration of attention mechanisms with ST-GCNs enables the model to effectively capture complex spatial and temporal relationships in traffic data.
Key Concepts and Contributions:
- Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks (ST-GCNs): ST-GCNs are a class of neural networks designed to handle spatiotemporal data, such as traffic flow data. They combine graph convolutional layers with temporal convolutions to capture both spatial dependencies between traffic sensors (locations) and temporal dependencies across time steps.
- Attention Mechanisms: Attention mechanisms enhance the model’s ability to focus on relevant parts of the data. In the context of traffic flow forecasting, attention can be applied to capture significant spatial relationships between traffic sensor locations and temporal dependencies between time steps.
- Spatial and Temporal Graphs: The model represents the traffic sensor network as a spatial graph, where nodes are sensors and edges indicate their spatial proximity. Temporal dependencies are captured by stacking multiple time steps to create the temporal graph.
- Attention Mechanism Integration: Attention mechanisms are integrated into the ST-GCN architecture to give different levels of importance to various sensor nodes and time steps. This helps the model focus on critical spatial and temporal patterns.
- Data Preprocessing: Prepare historical traffic flow data containing sensor readings over time. Construct the spatial graph connecting sensor nodes based on their geographical proximity.
- ST-GCN Architecture: Implement the ST-GCN architecture with graph convolutional layers for spatial information extraction and temporal convolutional layers for temporal pattern recognition.
- Attention Mechanism: Introduce attention mechanisms, such as self-attention, to capture important spatial and temporal relationships. Attention weights are learned during training to emphasize relevant nodes and time steps.
- Training: Train the model using historical traffic flow data. Use appropriate loss functions (e.g., Mean Squared Error) to optimize the model’s predictions.
- Evaluation: Evaluate the model’s performance using standard traffic forecasting metrics like Mean Absolute Error (MAE) or Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) on a separate test dataset.
- Improved Traffic Flow Forecasting: By incorporating attention mechanisms, the model may be better equipped to capture complex spatial and temporal patterns, leading to more accurate traffic flow predictions.
- Efficient Urban Planning: Accurate traffic flow forecasting supports better urban planning, congestion management, and resource allocation.
- Transferability: The concepts of using attention mechanisms with ST-GCNs can extend to other spatiotemporal forecasting tasks beyond traffic flow, such as weather prediction or energy consumption forecasting.
To implement this approach, you would need to use deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch. You would build the ST-GCN architecture and integrate attention mechanisms. Libraries like DGL (Deep Graph Library) or PyG (PyTorch Geometric) can help with the implementation of graph convolutions and attention layers.
Remember that implementing and fine-tuning these models requires a strong understanding of deep learning, graph convolutions, attention mechanisms, and domain knowledge in traffic forecasting. | urban_planning |

Our main scope of work is building and maintaining water retention ponds that focus on water quality and filtration.
Stormwater is rainwater or melted snow that runs off streets, lawns and other sites. When Stormwater is absorbed into soil, it is filtered and ultimately replenishes aquifers or flows into streams and rivers. In developed areas, impervious surfaces (such as pavement, streets, sidewalks, and roofs) prevent precipitation from naturally soaking into the ground. Instead, this massive influx of channeled water runs rapidly into storm drains, sewer systems and drainage ditches. This surge of water causes downstream flooding, stream bank erosion, increased turbidity (muddiness created by stirred up sediment), general erosion, habitat destruction, combined sewer overflows, infrastructure damage, and contamination of natural waters.
Our water management ponds range from 500SF to 30,000SF. We are always on-call for the round-the-clock needs of the 600+ filtration ponds that we manage over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone.
Rob Naylor, Director of Stormwater Management Services, brings over 25 years of hands-on experience.

Ever since the rise of integrated townships in the Philippines, the real estate landscape has significantly changed, with Metro Manila being the center of innovative township communities. In turn, luxury living has been redefined. Most urbanites now view it as the capability to lead an integrated lifestyle, achieved through living in a community where accessibility and work-life balance are assured.
Townships can be classified as one of the highest forms of development in an urban or progressive area. They are built on prime land vast enough to house their own residential, commercial, and leisure establishments, so you don’t have to go elsewhere to enjoy the finer things in life.
Master-planned townships give you the luxury of having everything you need whenever you need it. This is why such developments are designed to integrate various facets of life. Townships like Alabang West incorporate a high-end residential development, first-class amenities, and a premier shopping district — all in one place — to create a posh neighborhood fit for the elites.
Other township developments incorporate business centers and educational facilities, allowing you to work where you live and eliminate traffic woes. At the same time, they make an excellent home for starting and growing families because of the top-notch schools located within these communities.
Luxury townships don’t cut on tasteful designs as reflected by their contemporary architecture. Within these townships, you’ll find carefully-designed villages lined with generously-spaced houses, or sometimes vacant lots for custom-built homes.
Other developments take the concept of luxury living to the next level by building a themed township. Alabang West, for instance, is inspired by California’s Beverly Hills City. The township has its own upscale shopping street called Rodeo Drive, complemented by wide road networks, palm-tree-lined streets, and lush open space parks.
Southern Manila has always been known for its laid-back atmosphere, where one can enjoy a slower pace of life without actually leaving the metropolis. It’s also home to the country’s largest business districts: Filinvest City in Alabang and Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City. The South is also the location of first-rate schools like San Beda College - Alabang and De La Salle Santiago Zobel School, making it an ideal home for discerning families. With all these prestigious establishments filling the South, it only makes sense that luxe townships are located here, providing an equally luxurious residential experience.
The newest chic place where you can live in style and glamour is located South of Manila, in Las Piñas City. Alabang West is the 15th township project of Megaworld Corporation, carrying an architectural theme that the country has never seen before. The Beverly Hills-inspired township is located near Alabang’s high-end communities and scenic golf course, creating a modern setting with a nature-rich backdrop.
The Alabang West Village located within this township offers lot-only deals with land sizes up to 795 square meters. The amenity complex features a perfect mix of recreational amenities, including a lounging deck, an infinity pool, al-fresco dining areas, and so much more. It’s the next-level address for your future luxury home.

Every road user must follow these rules or prohibitions.
Warning signs are usually placed at the location where or from where the directive must be followed, unless the signs are installed even earlier up the road to ensure safe and smooth flow of traffic. In this case the distance is specified on an additional sign.
Waiting orders and stopping orders
This sign — even horizontal — is installed before the level crossing, and as a rule, immediately before it. Drivers must give priority to rail traffic.The halt restriction is valid up to 10 m before the sign, if covered by it. Parking is prohibited in front of and behind the St. Andrew’s Cross up to 5 m on each side in built-up areas and up to 50 meters on each side outside built-up areas. A lightning symbol in the middle of the St. Andrew’s Cross is an indication that the railway line has a high-voltage contact line. An additional sign with a black arrow indicates that the St Andrew’s Cross is only valid for road traffic in the direction of this arrow. St. Andrew’s Cross
Give way Approach slowly and give way to othe road users. Drivers should not halt up to 10 m before this sign, if covered by it. It is installed just before the intersection or junction and can be notified by the same sign, with an additional sign indicating the distance.
Halt. Give way. You must halt and give way in any case even if no vehicle is approaching from the priority road). If a stop line exists, you must stop in front of it. The vehicle must come to a complete standstill — at least for a moment. If there is no stop line, you must stop at the line of sight, i.e. from where the other road is visible for traffic bearing right or left. You must not halt up to 10 m before this sign, if covered by it.
Drivers must give priority to oncoming traffic Priority to oncoming traffic
Prescribed directions of travel
Drivers must follow the prescribed driving direction — press the direction indicator, unless you are driving straight ahead. At the same time, these signs also prohibit driving in any other direction other than the specified one. One must drive only in the direction of the arrow at the next intersection or junction. Directions other than the one illustrated will be specified accordingly.
One must turn to the right behind the sign. Indicate the direction in time and ensure rear traffic space. Right
Here, one must turn in front of the sign.
Straight or right Driving is permitted only in these two directions. Press the direction indicator and drive in the correct lane.
Roundabout Drivers must follow the prescribed driving direction to the right at the roundabout. Stopping on the road at the roundabout is prohibited.

The general purpose of a Community Council is to ascertain, co-ordinate and express the wider views of the entire community within its boundaries. Community Councils will seek to represent and include all sections of their communities, regardless of age, gender, ability, ethnic origin, political or religious beliefs, or sexual orientation. They can complement the role of the local authority but are not part of local government.
Community Councils are also able to involve themselves in a wide range of other activities including fundraising, organising community events, undertaking environmental and educational projects and much more.
Like most Community Councils, PSCC have appointed four office-bearers; Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer. In addition, we have members who serve as the main points of contact for Planning and Licensing.
Community Councils have a formal role in the planning system. As a result of the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994 they have a statutory right since 1996 to be formally consulted on all planning applications.
In addition, as a result of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 2006 community councils have been given a particular role to play in relation to formal consultation on any major planning proposals for their area. They are also consulted when development plans are being prepared.
PSCC takes a proactive role in planning matters to ensure that the community is consulted on issues that could have an impact on the area and that their views are communicated to the planning authority. This is achieved by monitoring and reviewing the weekly list of planning applications produced by the planning authority; these are the subject of a report to each community council meeting; consulting with relevant planning officers; responding rapidly to the planning authority expressing the views of the community on issues raised.
The main point of contact in PSCC for planning matters is Mr Michael S. Evans, [email protected]
Under the terms of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 1976 Community Councils can exercise their power to object to the granting, renewal or transfer of liquor licences.
The main point of contact in PSCC for licensing matters is Chair Norrie Smith, [email protected] | urban_planning |

Completed in 1973, the towers stood at 110 stories each, accommodating 50,000 workers and 200,000 daily visitors in 10 million square feet of space. They were the hub of the bustling Financial District, a top tourist attraction and a symbol of New York City’s–and America’s–steadfast devotion to progress and the future. On September 11, 2001, the World Trade Center became the target of a massive terrorist attack that took the lives of nearly 3,000 people. The disaster also radically altered the skyline of New York City, destroying the twin columns of glass and steel that over the years had come to embody the city itself. | urban_planning |

While this might be the case, for the most part scholarly attention has focused on the technologies used to construct these environments. What is missing from these discussions is a deeper engagement with the lived experience of ‘smart spaces’, and the extent to which this confluence of the physical and digital is currently configuring new explicit and/or implicit forms of play. To this end, our workshop will explore how experiences of the city might be changing as a result of new technological practices that are currently creating both explicit and implicit playful possibilities, as well as moments of resistance that reveal socio-cultural problems of participation.
We invite researchers and practitioners from all related disciplines to contribute 4 to 6 page papers that reflect on the following topics:
> The changing perceptions of smart cities in the context of human experience.
> Emerging smart city technologies, such Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual reality (VR), 5g, wearable technologies and locative media.
> Emerging forms of locative applications and pervasive play in a smart city context.
> Techo-flanerie and Playful Mobilities: Ridesharing, novel mobilities, and emerging forms of automated play;
> Laissez faire versus planned play in the city – Emerging forms of explicit play, as well as emerging forms of implicit play.
> Techno-socio-cultural problems of participation that often remain hidden from discussions of ̈’smart cities’.
> Methods for researching implicit and explicit form of play in a smart city context.
> Related ethical implications.
Aside papers we invite demonstrations of prototypes and completed projects.
Please submit your paper through the EasyChair chair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cap2020.
We will select submissions based on a number of criteria, including originality or controversy of the paper, the complementary nature of the authors’ research background, and the quality of the authors’ previous work related to the workshop topic.
At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop and all workshop participants must register not only for the workshop but also for at least one day of the conference.

Sometimes, a main sewer line loses its position or pitch inside the ground. When it does, the sewer line back pitches. Here's what you should know about a back pitched sewer line, how it affects your home and what your contractors can do to remedy the situation.
What Does Pitch Mean?
Pitch describes the downward angle or slope of a sewer line after it's installed in the ground. The slope helps liquid and solid waste flow properly, which prevents the contaminants from flowing back toward the home.
The slope of a sewer line depends on the size of the pipe used to transfer raw sewage from your home to the city's sewer line in the street. The size of sewer pipe also influences the flow rate of waste as it travels out to the street. For example, a 2 1/2-inch sewer line may have a slope of 1/4 inch per foot of property. If the slope is too steep, solid waste can't move down the sewer line, which creates a back pitch.
The contents of a back pitched sewer line flow the opposite way. Instead of flowing toward the street, the solid and liquid wastes backflow to your home and property.
The wastes create cesspools of raw sewage in your yard, or they back up in your toilet, kitchen and laundry facilities and flood the inside of the house. In worst cases, the backed up sewage spreads to your neighbors' yards. If your neighbors complain to the city about your backed up sewer line, the city can place fines on your water bill.
What Causes a Back Pitched Sewer Line?
A number of things affect the pitch of a sewer line. One of the biggest issues is poor construction. If the home's original building contractors failed to use the right pitch for your sewer line during construction and planning, the line will eventually dip lower into the ground near the house.
Improperly pitched sewer lines can crack from the pressure and leak water into the soil or pavement surrounding or covering it. Over time, the leaking water saturates the soil around the damaged sewer line until depressions or holes form.
You should understand that depressions don't always develop or form at the source of the leak. For instance, if the soil around the sewer line contains rocks and other hard sediments, the leaking liquid waste will spread out to other areas of your property that contains softer soil.
You want to hire a contractor to inspect your sewer line and fix it immediately.
What Can Your Sewer Replacement Contractors Do for You?
Your sewer repair contractors do several things when they come out to your home, including use cameras to look inside the sewer line. The cameras are small enough to travel through the pipe without damaging it even further.
The camera produces a detailed image of the sewer line's position in the ground, as well as what the line looks like from the inside. Your contractors examine the images on a special screen, which helps them decide on the best way to repair the line. If the line has multiple cracks, repair it immediately to avoid other issues, such as flooding and city street damage.
Depending on the condition of the soil or pavement surrounding the sewer line, your contractors can repair it with an advanced technique called trenchless sewer line repair. This technique doesn't require the contractors to dig up your property or damage the rest of your landscape, which saves you money and time.
But if the sewer line is too old to repair, you should replace it. Even if your contractors repair the cracks and properly pitch the line, it can eventually return to its original state and cause future problems you don't want to experience.
If you have concerns about your damaged sewer line, contact your contractors for more details and solutions. You can also look online at sites like http://www.drainorooter.com to find a contractor who can replace your damaged sewer lines.Share | urban_planning |

The awards, which were renewed in the FY12-13 budget, will go to renovating historic buildings in five communities. ODOD said the projects are expected to leverage more than $100 million in private investments.
“Historic preservation projects strengthen local communities by spurring private investments and creating jobs through construction and reoccupation of vacant and underutilized buildings,” Christiane Schmenk, director of the Ohio Department of Development, said in a statement.
The projects receiving awards are:
– 15th and Republic (Cincinnati, Hamilton County) will receive a tax credit of $762,500. It involves four buildings in the heart of Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Upon rehabilitation, the buildings will house 19 residential units. Two of the four buildings received Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credits as part of the $11 million project and will contain 13 rental apartments at 1437 Republic and 13 West 15th Street. Construction on the project is expected to generate 97 jobs.
– Cascade Lofts (Akron, Summit County) will receive a tax credit of $908,705. Located in the Cascade Locks Historic District on the former Ohio and Erie Canal, the project involves the redevelopment of the former Swinehart Tire and Rubber Company factory. The redevelopment of the structure includes residential space overlooking the canal, in addition to retail space that will serve visitors of the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail in Cuyahoga Valley National Park
– Civic Theatre Block (Akron, Summit County) will receive a $2,439,741 tax credit. It includes six long-vacant buildings surrounding the Civic Theatre in Downtown Akron. When complete, the mixed-use buildings will house first floor retail, restaurants overlooking the adjacent canal park, and residential apartments. One of the buildings, 172 South Main Street, received tax credits during Round 5 of the program. This award will provide tax credits for the remaining five buildings. The restaurant and retail space is anticipated to create more than 245 jobs and the rehabilitation work will generate nearly 100 construction jobs.
– Crown Building (Cincinnati, Hamilton County) will receive a tax credit of $279,470. Positioned across from Findlay Market in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, it is a four-story structure erected circa 1880. The upper stories of the building have been vacant for decades and suffered fire damage to the roof in 2008. The rehabilitation of the building includes residential apartments, commercial office space, and a restaurant. The project is anticipated to act as a catalyst for redevelopment at the western gateway to the market.
– Euclid-71st Street Building (Cleveland, Cuyahoga County) will receive a $4,381,703 tax credit. Prominently seated along Euclid Avenue in Midtown Cleveland, the building was constructed in 1919. Now vacant, the facility was most recently used for industrial storage. The building will be redeveloped into leasable tenant office space with first floor retail space. The nearly 150,000 square feet of office space is expected to house more than 200 employees upon completion.
– Gifford House and Carriage House (Cleveland, Cuyahoga County) will receive a $108,914 tax credit. Constructed on what was once Cleveland’s second most prestigious residential street, it was completed in 1901 in Tudor Revival style. After use as a residence and clubhouse, the home was most recently occupied by a fraternity. The rehabilitation of the house and carriage house will restore the original interior while accommodating four commercial office spaces and one apartment. Ziska Architecture, a commercial and residential architectural firm, is undertaking the project and will relocate their studios to the building.
– Haddon Hall (Cincinnati, Hamilton County) will receive a tax credit of $1.15 million. Erected in 1910, it was converted to affordable housing for the Avondale Neighborhood of Cincinnati in 1982. The Reading Road building will undergo major rehabilitation to upgrade building systems and finishes to both improve resident amenities and increase energy efficiency. Nearly 130,000 square feet in size, the facility houses senior and disabled residents in 114 apartments.
– Highland and Crescent Apartments (Akron, Summit County) will receive a tax credit of $134,314. The apartments are a pair of garden-style apartment buildings located in the heart of Akron’s Highland Square commercial district. Both apartment buildings will be rehabilitated with modern heating systems, masonry and structural repairs, and upgrades to the bathrooms and kitchens. The redevelopment will permit the now vacant units to be reoccupied and provide residential base for the businesses in Highland Square.
– Hotel Ashtabula (Ashtabula, Ashtabula County) will receive a total tax credit of $639,350. One of the most prominent structures on Ashtabula’s Main Avenue, the hotel has hosted famous guests including Bob Hope. Closed since 1985, the building will now be brought back to life as commercial office space. Signature Health, a leading mental health provider in Ashtabula County, will relocate their offices and 45 jobs to the building. Construction activities are expected to generate 85 jobs. The Hotel Ashtabula is the first project in Ashtabula to take advantage of the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit program.
– Park-Southworth Building (Cleveland, Cuyahoga County), will receive a $1,977,416 tax credit. The project includes two buildings located directly on Cleveland’s Public Square. In recent years, the Park Building was partially renovated and includes 13 occupied condominiums and first floor retail space. The tax credit will allow the remainder of the Park Building and the connecting Southworth Building to be converted into 34 market-rate apartments with live-work space. The project addresses the growing demand for rental residential units in Downtown Cleveland and is expected to create 46 construction jobs.
– Rialto Theater (Cleveland, Cuyahoga County) will receive a $484,108 credit. Originally constructed in 1919 for live entertainment and later converted to a movie theater, the theater is located in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood in close proximity to the West Side Market. Now vacant, the former auditorium space will be converted into the main production facility for Mitchell’s Ice Cream, a local ice cream company with several shops located in the Greater Cleveland area. The facility will also include office and meeting space for the company and a retail storefront where patrons can grab a scoop of Mitchell’s and watch the ice cream production process. The rehabilitation project is anticipated to create 38 jobs.
– Steele Mansion (Painesville, Lake County) will receive a $371,500 tax credit. Abandoned for nearly a decade after suffering a fire in 2001, the mansion is one of many stately homes that line Painesville’s Mentor Avenue Historic District. After several failed redevelopment attempts, new owners are transforming the former mansion into an inn to serve visitors to Lake County and the adjacent Lake Erie College campus. More than 35 construction jobs are anticipated to be created from the building’s rehabilitation. This project is the first in Painesville to utilize the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit program.
– St. Michael Complex (Cincinnati, Hamilton County) will receive a $1,334,632 credit. The complex includes the historic St. Michael’s Catholic Church, rectory, and school buildings. The parish closed in 2008 and donated the complex to Lower Price Hill Community School, a community based school that began in the church basement in the early 1980’s. The rehabilitation work will provide upgraded space for the school’s operation in addition to new space for artist studios, childcare, and community meetings. Construction is anticipated to create a minimum of 25 jobs. | urban_planning |

Written by Ian Blair
Five years before the excavation by Dick Malt and his team at Broad Street Station, Liverpool Street (LSS85) in 1985, the Elephant Man (or at least John Hurt in his guise) had been pursued by a mob through the old Liverpool Street station.
In those years, the City of London, together with the deserted wharfs, warehouses, and streets, between Blackfriars Bridge and London Bridge in Southwark on the South Bank, provided a perfect atmospheric backdrop for films, with a surprisingly large amount having survived the Blitz intact.
The excavation at Broad Street Station, formed part of what was the new Broadgate development, which was to transform the area completely, with Broad Street station (that adjoined the west side of Liverpool Street station) being swept aside. Archaeological excavations in the south west corner of the site were completed in April 1986. Some 400 burials were excavated from an area within the boundaries of the ‘New Churchyard’, or ‘Bethlem (Bedlam) burial ground’. The cemetery was first established on the former vegetable plot at the Royal Bethlem Hospital, which was walled and opened by the City as a burial ground in 1569 to relieve the congestion occurring in parish burial grounds. The cemetery was used up to 1738, with an estimated 20,000 Londoners buried there in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Take 2: move forward thirty years to 2015, and the MOLA excavation on the Bedlam burial ground for Crossrail (XSM10), in preparation for the new Liverpool Street station east entrance. The larger excavation area, immediately adjoined the south side of the earlier (LSS85) trench, and uncovered a further 3,350 burials, bringing the total body count to 3,750. It is just possible, that one of these burials (on the junction of the two trenches) was partially excavated in both excavations, and that its constituent bony parts may yet be able to be reunited.

Given that the earlier trench, was located using the more rudimentary survey techniques of the day, that cannot be compared to the accuracy afforded by modern GPS surveying, the exact join between the two areas is likely to remain somewhat hazy: a bit like the Elephant Man emerging through the steam and smoke at Liverpool Street Station on his return from Belgium, a hundred years earlier in June 1886. | urban_planning |
