▼ Hazard losses in the United States have increased over the past several decades. With over one-third U.S. residents living in coastal counties, the potential impacts from hazards related to coasts are a particular concern. The focus on social vulnerability is meant to address potential gaps disaster management; research and policy intends to limit exposure or decrease biophysical vulnerability. However, social vulnerability will need to be addressed for communities to more resilient. This study analyzes Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastal watershed counties quantitatively to see if social vulnerability changes after multiple hazard events over ten years. It also provides a review of adaptive learning as a potential method for improved disaster management. 407 counties where at least one event occurred between 2000 and 2010 were analyzed for hazard losses and social vulnerability. Using the Spatial Hazard Events and Losses Database for the United States (SHELDUS), eight variables were assessed to understand hazard impacts. For social vulnerability, 12 indicators for 2000 and 2010 were used using data from the Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry (ATSDR) and U.S. Census Bureau. The SV variables were standardized and combined to see the change in 2010 from 2000. The change in social vulnerability results were then tested for correlation against hazard loss data. The results indicate that counties who experience a higher frequency of hazard events do not see a change in social vulnerability. However, property damage per capita and social vulnerability change show a statistically significant relationship. While it currently seems as though communities do not learn from experience, adaptive learning offers ways to learn from previous experience to better prepare for the future.

▼ Beijing Old City was built hundreds of years ago. The structure of Beijing Old City was not designed for automobiles. And today, Beijing Old City is unable to meet the needs of current traffic conditions. With the increase in car ownership in Beijing, parking is a serious problem of the city, especially for Beijing Old City. Government has established a number of policies and solutions for parking in Beijing Old City. But the result is not satisfactory because government may not fundamentally understand the cause of parking problem in Beijing Old City. By doing a case study of a historical preservation district in Beijing Old City, the paper tries to find out the major problem of parking in the area, and find out the root cause of the problem in the study area. The paper includes a review of literatures that related to parking issues. Based on different literatures, and site observation, I make a hypothesis on major parking problems in the study area. The methodology part introduces how to prove my hypothesis, and explains my data collecting methods. By calculating the usage rate of parking facilities, and combining with parking price analysis, I make a comprehensive conclusion of parking problems in the study area. The paper also includes a data collection methodologies; a discussion on current and future policies of parking regulations in Beijing. And in the end, some possible solutions for parking in the study area are presented.

▼ As oil price continues to grow and traffic jams making daily travel harder than never, public transportation is widely considered a preferred option for major metropolitans worldwide. Los Angeles County, facing the worst congestion in the nation, has several Metro rail extensions on the way. As rail stations are expected to grow, there are a great number of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) projects around the existing and new stations, aiming to increase the transit ridership. There have been various studies on factors that affect ridership. This paper studies the correlation between rail station ridership and land uses around the station in Los Angeles County. We found that different land use around different stations have different results. According to the findings, some suggestions are provided for future research.

▼ Every year, over one hundred million people are affected by floods. Flooding can come in many different shapes and forms, such as storm surges, heavy rainfall, high tidal levels, and river floods. There are numerous scientific researches on flooding and the different ways that cities and city agencies have approached flooding. However, very little literature ties together accounts of floods and urban planning. This thesis investigates the different ways cities have planned for flood-prone disasters in the past.
In order to further analyze past planning efforts, three case studies were chosen to represent vulnerable flood-prone cities. Rotterdam, New York City, and Bangkok were chosen as case studies for this thesis for their long history of dealing with flood-related issues and their current flood planning initiatives. Although the case studies chosen do not represent all types of floods in every city around the world, they gave an example of how cities vulnerable to flood have planned for disasters in the past. The analysis of the three case studies was structured to provide context, conceptual framework, and discussion in relation to each other. The lessons learned from these three case studies provided takeaways of good planning processes that can be studied and implemented in a different country that is also facing flood-prone disasters.

▼ The City of Los Angeles, known for its car dependency, has been making strides to revive public transportation in the city. In addition to transit system expansion and improvement, transit-oriented development (TOD) policy has been enacted throughout the city and county in comprehensive plans, community plans, special zoning ordinances, and the Metro Joint Development Program. TOD in this research is defined as high-density mixed-use development in close proximity to one or more forms of public transportation. The social, economic, and environmental benefits of TOD justify its use as an alternative to traditional auto-oriented development. Although the benefits of TOD are well understood, less can be found in current literature addressing the implementation of such policies. What implementation research that does exist has focused on performance in terms of resulting modal shift and transit ridership. Less research has been done to assess the success of implementation in achieving truly mixed and economically accessible transit neighborhoods.
This study uses policy analysis, data mapping, and site inventory to examine the implementation of TOD policies surrounding phase one of the Metro Gold Line in Los Angeles County, a light-rail line completed July 2003. Analysis focuses on density, mix of land use, and economic accessibility within a quarter-mile radius of eleven light rail stations. Change in these indicators between 2000 and 2010 is evaluated to capture the influence of the line opening in 2003. This thesis provides an assessment of the barriers, opportunities and practical issues affecting the translation of a TOD vision from rhetoric to reality. The findings of this research indicate a positive relationship between the strength of governing TOD policies and ability of the TOD vision to be successfully implemented. However, the findings also highlight the importance of additional socio-political factors in influencing plan implementation. The lessons learned provide constructive guidelines for the implementation of transit-oriented development policies around phase two of the Metro Gold Line, opened 2009.

▼ Assembly
planning is a crucial task for every manufacturing product. In general, assembly operations consume more than 30% of the total manufacturing time and cost. Therefore, any effort in optimizing assembly will have a significant impact on the economic success of manufacturing. Finding an optimal assembly plan by hand is tedious and perhaps impractical for the large models. This research introduces an automatic computational tool in automated assembly
planning (AAP) to automatically transform a CAD assembly into a set of assembly instructions. The goal is to make this transformation with as little user commitment as possible. Thus, automation is applied on every detail of the work. The work has five main divisions: geometric reasoning, complex geometry detection, graph representation, AI
Planning and post–
planning. To have the most general assembly
planning tool, tessellation is considered as the representation of the input model. A revolutionary reasoning scheme is implemented to efficiently derive geometric and mating constraints from the tessellated models along with detection of complex geometries including fasteners, gears and springs. The mating information between assembly parts are stored in a liaison graph which is the starting point of an artificial intelligence
planning procedure. Various graph–based algorithms are implemented to generate feasible assembly candidates. The AI
planning evaluates every assembly candidate with complex statistical models and produces multiple instructions in terms of a detailed assembly tree or called Treequence. In the post–
planning section, an optimization algorithm is applied on the generated treequence to find the optimal orientation of the subassemblies in the entire assembly process. A scheduling approach is also implemented to allocate the workers throughout the assembly tasks. The efforts of this PhD work can be visualized and edited by either a web-interface or IC.IDO virtual reality platform. The implemented tool can accommodate changes after a user has seen the result.

▼ Colonias are rural, substandard housing developments in South Texas. They suffer from deplorable living conditions, often without running water or sewage systems, unpaved roads and extreme poverty. Yet service providers and researchers have observed remarkable unity and cohesion among residents, prompting them to attribute a strong "sense of community" to these neighborhoods. This study compares cognitive evaluations of sense of community and territorial evidence to identify elements of the physical environment that may facilitate the development of a sense of community in two rural colonia communities. The theory underlying a relationship between sense of community and territoriality suggests that territorial functioning reflects the same types of attitudes that lead to a sense of community. It is apparent from these results that colonias exhibit both a positive sense of community and some evidence of territorial functioning. However, the evidence does not seem to support a relationship between the two. For a positive finding to have been made, the attitude inherent in a sense of community had to have met stringent requirements to be translated into a discernible behavior. Due to cultural differences, observers of territorial behaviors may not have been able to interpret physical traces left behind by territorial functioning. It appears that other characteristics of these residents, specifically their extreme poverty, may moderate the relationship. Colonia residents have few resources available to effect changes in the physical appearance of the home.

▼ Interviews were conducted with spokespersons from graphics. seven area health service organizations regarding recent community assessments conducted by their organizations. Specifically, the participants were asked to explain the process by which their organization constructs an assessment instrument and estimate the amount of finding resources their organization dedicated toward the development phase of the assessment. The funding resources were then examined in terms of number of staff required, total time spent developing the assessment tool, and overall dollars their organization spent towards instrument development. The participants consisted of 7 health service organizations listed in the local health services directory and were invited to participate in this study. The population of Bryan and College Station, Texas, principally consists of individuals with a moderate income, primarily Caucasian, in an urban area with a combined population of approximately 120,000 residents according to the 1990 U.S. Census. The common characteristic shared by these agencies was the fact that each assumed the responsibility of performing a community assessment within Bryan/college Station during the years 1992-1997. This study investigated the relationship between the financial resources available to these organizations conducting community assessments and the impact those resources had on assessment instrument scope. The evidence suggests that community assessments with increased scope can be achieved, if sufficient time in addition to dollars is allotted to their development. The perceived connection between funding and instrument breadth was believed to be a direct correlation resulting from a linear relationship. As assessment funding increased, so did instrument breadth. The analysis of data tends to support this hypothesis, however, the relationship between the two variables is not as robust as anticipated. For a firm correlation to have been made, those organizations with superior financial resources would have had to have employed assessment tools possessing substantial subject breadth. Due to the self-reported funding information and the lack of documentation regarding organizations' assessment finances, the true impact funding resources had on assessment instrument development can only be estimated. Future assessment attempts may achieve a more definite interpretation of the true impact funding has on assessment development if precise

▼ D.Com. (Strategic Management)
A review of the literature reveals that strategy implementation is an important component of the strategic management process. In addition, it has been noted that there is a high failure rate in the implementation of strategy as a result of the existence of many potential barriers to the effective implementation of strategy. A lack of leadership – specifically strategic leadership – in the management structures of organisations has been identified as one of the possible barriers to the effective implementation of strategy. However, strategic leadership is also widely regarded as one of the key drivers of strategy implementation. In view of the fact that the role of strategic leadership in strategy implementation has been overlooked, the following research question was addressed: What is the perceived role of strategic leadership in the implementation of strategy in South African organisations? In the light of the identified problem and research question, the primary objective of this study was to investigate the perceived role of strategic leadership in the implementation of strategy in South African organisations. The thesis was that strategic leadership positively contribute to the effective implementation of strategy in South African organisations.

▼ The advent of accelerated global warming and volatile climate change has prompted the need for a better understanding of what factors and policies might contribute to mitigate these events as well as increase the resilience of communities. Transit systems’ effectiveness and efficiency in increasingly disperse, car-dependent, and poly-centric urban agglomerations is one such factor, including the search for strategies to increase transit patronage and decrease car-dependence. Improving access to rapid-transit systems is one key area as it has the potential to expand the system’s influence beyond station’s immediate pedestrian service areas into larger and less developed suburban areas, and/or serve more disperse employment. Precedent studies and most on-board surveys have focused on a variety of access modes to reach rapid-transit services, including automobile, walking, and bicycle. Bus access, despite representing on average a non-trivial 19.3% of all access trips at national level, more than 30% at some large poly-centric cities in the U.S., and close to 50% of access trips for some rapid-transit lines (out-sizing the share of pedestrian access) has not received as much attention as other access modes. Predictive models for bus access mode report notably lower explanatory power as compared to other modes and the account of bus access events is often conflated with that of walk access in many technical reports and surveys for reasons yet to be understood. Ignoring, overlooking and/or misrepresenting this mode of access may lead to misunderstanding of multi-modal transit travel behavior and its spatial extent, possibly misguiding planners and policy-makers’ decision-making and resulting in system-wide ineffectiveness and/or inefficiency. This investigation documents bus access share for one exemplary case study and clarifies built-environment and bus networks’ influence on rapid-transit patronage within descriptive and inferential quantitative methodologies. This study seeks to answer two guiding research questions: 1- How important are bus networks to rapid-transit ridership in large, dispersed, poly-centric metropolitan regions in the U.S.? and 2- Do land-use and built-environment attributes around feeder bus-stops influence rapid-transit boardings? Because of diverse geographical scales and service levels experienced by a rider on a chained bus / rapid-transit trip this study focuses on two distinct yet linked geographies for analysis: 1-rapid-transit station; and 2- bus-stop. Research design is based on a single-case study in the United States (Los Angeles metropolitan multi-modal transit system). The first study focuses on quantifying the share of bus access trips at station-level and gaging its influence on total boardings within a multivariate generalized regression framework. Several socio-economic, service-level, built-environment, and network attributes are taken into consideration as informed by travel behavior theory and literature review. A strong positive association between bus network’s service and…

▼ The exodus of residents and employment opportunities from central cities has greatly impacted the low income residents which have remained as suitable employment opportunities are locating further from their residence. This trend has negatively impacted the employment participation of these residents, worsening their economic situation. The implementation of light rail transit is considered to address this issue as it can connect this population to new labor markets and attract development along its corridor. This development has the potential to produce suitable employment opportunities for low income residents. Surprisingly, studies have found light rail investment to have negligible impacts on the employment participation of low income inner city residents. The researcher theorizes that these findings are due, in part, to the development outcomes achieved within light rail service areas. The aggressive development activity which is commonly observed within new transit areas has the potential to change the character of the surrounding environment. This change may come at the expense of low income residents as areas experience gentrification and lose suitable employment opportunities. This study explores the change in, and nature of, development which arises within light rail station areas in order to better comprehend the impact which resulting development outcomes have on opportunities suitable for low income residents. This is done by focusing on four cities which have implemented a light rail system between 2000 and 2010. The change in employment opportunities within station areas which can be attributed to the presence of light rail is estimated via a difference in difference model implemented within a negative binomial regression. Focus is placed on the change in employment opportunities suitable for low income residents. Next, the impact which light rail has on the odds of station areas gentrifying is explored via the generation of a gentrification index and application of a logistic regression. Lastly, cases which experienced diverging development outcomes were identified and further explored. Interviews and the review of relevant documents provided additional insight on the factors which contribute to the attainment of more equitable development outcomes. The results of this study indicate that development activity within light rail service areas has the potential to eliminate certain which are likely to employ low income residents. At the same time, some employment categories which employ low income residents were found to experience growth. Additionally, station areas in one case were found to face greater odds of gentrifying when compared to similar areas not serviced by rail transit. Results were not consistent across all cases as they deviated based on their respective location. The exploration of cases which experienced diverging outcomes provided insight on factors which may contribute to the attainment of specific development outcomes.

▼ The percentage of older adults residing in America’s auto-oriented suburbs is projected to grow significantly in the coming decades. When these individuals are no longer able to safely drive themselves, they may seek alternative modes of transportation in order to maintain their independence. In many metro areas, robust public transit exists in the urban core but can be relatively sparse in suburban areas, thus creating a service gap. At the same time, a growing number of elder-service nonprofits have begun to offer transportation services for older clients, leveraging unique staff expertise with elder-care issues in order to fill the service gap. The potential for partnerships between nonprofits and public transit agencies is on the rise, fueled primarily by federal grants and skyrocketing demand for transportation. This dissertation examines the state of affairs in elder-service transportation in the suburbs of three American cities from three perspectives: The elder-service nonprofits innovating programs, the transit agencies partnering with these nonprofits, and the older adults who use these services in order to age in place. The investigation relies on interviews, focus groups, and document analysis as source material. Using a process of axial coding and pattern matching, analysis focuses on the ways in which providers function, partner, and meet the needs of suburban older adults. The results show that these nonprofit innovators are delivering specialized and elder-conscious services that are quite popular with riders, while also often remaining deliberately independent of taxpayer support. Interagency partnerships, although viewed positively by managers in both agency types, are thus limited to short-term contracts that dissipate as the nonprofit matures and secures local funding. Where partnerships do occur, results show a need for simplified reporting of designated outcomes and better information-sharing between agencies. Taken together, the results indicate a rich and varied network of resources being committed to address this critical mobility challenge.

▼ Several recently published studies have demonstrated that employing planning strategies oriented on improving the internal characteristics of transit service, including frequency,
coverage, intermodal integration, and seamless connectivity between all important trip attractors, positively influences ridership and productivity of multimodal bus and light rail transit
systems. However, the research has not assessed overall economic outcomes of implementing these strategies, including social benefits and capital costs. Another emerging body of scholarship
pointed to transit service contracting and consolidated regional governance as another possible strategy for improving transit feasibility. Again, not all economic aspects of these decisions
have been evaluated thus far, and the available assessments of contracting and transit governance models do not consider long-term effects of specific organizational decisions. This study
intends to fill these research gaps by investigating the influence of several internal and external transit performance factors on the amount of net benefits generated by 13 U.S. bus and
light rail transit systems, observed annually during the 2001 - 2011 period. The evaluation starts with an estimation of net benefits (agency revenues plus non-direct social benefits minus
operating and capital costs). Next, a panel regression model is employed to examine the statistical relationship between specific performance factors and the average net benefits generated by
the case systems. The results of this study indicate that higher frequency, higher service density, higher ratio of contracted service and the presence of strong regional transit governance
positively influence net benefits. The role of network decentralization (volume of service headed outside of the central business district) appears to be insignificant. These results bring
additional evidence indicating the positive outcomes of certain internal transit planning strategies, which corresponds with the findings offered by previous research studies.

How Planning Process Impacts Bus Rapid Transit Outcomes: A Comparison of Experiences in Delhi and Ahmedabad, India.

▼ The ongoing debate within the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) community over the relative importance of 'appropriate' design standards, the 'right' institutional setup and 'political will' to the success of projects obscures the larger importance of the planning process. Political leadership, institutions and design are important conditions that must be considered in the context of one another, but they are also conditions that will change and be influenced by the planning process. Drawing on case studies of the Janmarg BRT in Ahmedabad, and the Delhi BRT in India, I demonstrate the indirect and direct role of the planning process in influencing the outcome of BRT projects.
My dissertation argues that planners too often treat the planning process as a one-dimensional sequence of steps in which design, institutions and leadership provide an unchanging framework in which planning proceeds. Planners however, can assert more influence over outcomes by re-framing the process as a three dimensional activity that considers not just the content and sequencing of the steps, but also requires decisions concerning approach (i.e. strategy and tactics) and timing (i.e. both moment of action and duration). This broader three-dimensional understanding of the planning process can be used to reshape design, institutions and leadership. A well-designed planning process has the potential to overcome institutional and design weaknesses and build political support leading to more viable and sustainable BRT systems.

▼ L'objecte d'aquesta tesi són els plans, protagonistes i referents teòrics del planejament metropolità de la Barcelona predemocràtica. El planejament del període franquista s'acostuma a interpretar com a un intent de modernització tecnica en un marc polític reaccionari, pero la realitat política del regim va anar canviant al llarg del temps i també anaren canviant el paper deis tècnics, els paradigmes urbanístics i les actituds vers l'actuació sobre la ciutat . La primera part de la tesi té com a centre el Pla Comarcal de 1953 durant l'autarquia, un antecedent del planejament de l'àmbit metropolità, que tingué com a coautors els arquitectes Pedro Bidagor i Josep Soteras. Aquesta primera part problematitza la dialèctica entre la interiorització d'uns referents estrangers, com el Regional
Planning anglo-saxó o l'organicisme de Bardet i l'ideari de ciutat subjacent a la ideologia conservadora de la Falange que, amb la seva retòrica moralitzant, legitimava el planejament d'aleshores, però que introduí innovacions tècniques que serien expressades en la Llei del Sòl de 1956. La segona part de la tesi parla de la renovació conceptual de l'urbanisme, que buscà la seva legitimació epistemològica en la ciencia i que a Barcelona tingué com a expressió la redacció del Pla Director de l'Àrea Metropolitana de 1966, realitzat per un equip multidisciplinar liderat per Manuel Ribas, Xavier Subías i Albert Serratosa. Els anys seixanta foren anys de profundes transformacions econòmiques i polítiques, amb l'arribada dels tecnòcrates de l'Opus Dei, i urbanes derivades del desarrollismo, en que es consolidà el fenomen metropolità a Barcelona i en els quals l'alcalde Porcioles posà les bases de la seva "Gran Barcelona". La tercera i última part problematitza l'urbanisme del tardofranquisme i de la transició democràtica, tenint com a centre el Pla General Metropolità, resultat de la sedimentació d'experiències de més de vint anys de planejament metropolità i dels dos plans anteriors realitzats a Barcelona. El PGM, orfe de direcció política, fou el producte d'una tecnocràcia ideològicament progressista i de les pressions dels partits d'esquerres i de les Associacions de Veïns. Posteriorment, l'anhel d'emancipació social a través de l'urbanisme quedaria sovint rebaixada pel possibilisme en democràcia. Aquesta tesi s'interessa pels diferents elements que intervingueren en el planejament metropolità del període franquista a Barcelona, els canvis de paradigma urbanístic i en l'encert d'alguns personatges bastant extraordinaris que, oberts al món i al coneixement, van fer possible actuar amb certa brillantor en una realitat grisa i tancada.

▼ Mumbai – the city of contrasts, is home for more than 20 million people. It is the financial centre and the most modern city in India. As most cities within developing countries Mumbai is striving to imitate the western model of growth and lifestyle to achieve a “developed” status. Motorization, especially private motorized modes, has become prioritized because they are seen as a big part of this development. This neglecting has also led to a significant prejudice against bicycle riding as a transport mode. Over 300 new cars are registered ever day in the city. Not only is congestion a big problem but pollution from vehicles are posing serious threats to peoples health and to the environment. 88% of the population is using public transport today but with a larger growing middle class, ready to buy private vehicles, traffic related problems are likely to worsen. The gap between rich and poor is increasing, parts of the population can hardly afford to use the public transport system. Even though Mumbai is claimed to have the highest income per capita in India, 40 % of the inhabitants are still living below the poverty line. There are many aspects in society that could have a positive effect if a well working bicycle infrastructure were to be developed in Mumbai. Bicycling is not something new in India, bicycles have been used for a long time both for commuting and transporting goods. India is the second largest producer of bicycles in the world. 3% - 7% of all trips are done by bicycles in Mumbai today but studies shows a sharp decline in bicycle journeys over the past two decades. It is likely that bicycles will disappear from the streets in less than a decade if no actions are taken from the government. Six goals have been chosen to look at in this thesis, they are; Equality, Safety, Mobility, Urban life, Environment and Health. Some facts under each goals are presented and it is explained how a well working bicycle network could improve some aspects under each goal. Design standards of how bicycle facilities should be constructed and an illustration of a bicycle masterplan is proposed based on interviews with the public, literature studies and analyzing of the existing roads. Recommendations on how to work with changing prejudices against bicycling and how the planning of a bicycle network could be implemented are given.

▼ Very little is known about how water use differs in various climatic regions. Many studies have been done on the topic of water resources and climate change, but they mainly emphasize on how the changing climate affects water quality. When water quality is decreasing, the quantity of water supply will be affected as well. Balancing water supply and water demand is very critical for sustainable development, because the wellbeing of human lives and sensitive ecosystems depend on reliable water sources. This paper explores the pattern of domestic per-capita water use in various climatic regions and the influence of climatic conditions, demographic variations, and demand management policies on water use. My research focuses on nine climatic regions across the U.S. I focus my research around the following questions: 1) how does per-capita domestic water use vary across various climatic regions, 2) how do the various water demand management policies vary across climatic regions, and 3) how do climatic conditions, demographic factors, and water demand management policies relate to domestic per-capita water use?

▼ Vital streets are important to urban environments; they support the various activities that make up the “mixed life” of cities (Francis 2011). In order to understand its significance, this thesis discusses the role of the street as a public space and the concept of “street vitality”. It identifies some built-environmental characteristics that affect street vitality and provides methods to evaluate them, using South Jackson St in Seattle as a case study to demonstrate both real-world observation of street activity and environment, combined with GIS-enabled data analysis. Findings suggest several ways to improve street vitality, such as increasing building façade transparency, adding outdoor extensions and encouraging small and diverse developments. This study does not intend to change street conditions in the near future, but to provide ideas for analysis and design, and to provide inspirations for future development.

▼ University of Washington Abstract Public Involvement as an Opportunity for Multicultural Sociability in an Urban Context Ian W. Nunley Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Mark Purcell Urban Design and
Planning The social compositions of American cities are in a constant state of evolution. With levels of domestic and international migration on the rise, the rapidly developing nature of these increasingly multicultural constituencies can often lead to verbal or even physical conflict unless mechanisms are institutionalized that encourage cross-cultural communication, interactions across difference, and inclusive governance. As a forum for solving community-wide environmental problems, public involvement processes in urban
planning offer an opportunity for the public to interact across cultural differences as they deliver discussions about shared spaces to people and communities that might never have other reason to interact. In order to develop effective and inclusive public processes in multicultural cities, a pronounced emphasis must be placed on the implementation of community outreach, engagement, and design methodology that encourages progressive communication and collaboration. Following a review of the work of Leonie Sandercock and the future of urban cultural diversity, this paper presents the framework for an ideal public process that organically fosters fruitful interactions across difference. This hypothetical framework is then used to analyze the public process currently being implemented in Seattle in association with the new Central Waterfront Program. Results from the analysis show a dynamic and comprehensive process, but not one that regularly encourages interactions across difference by members of the public. Following this analysis, a set of recommendations is then posited for strengthening the opportunities for multicultural interaction in the public oversight, outreach, participation, and engagement processes associated with the Central Waterfront. The work presented here has implications for future studies pertaining to the cultural dynamics of multicultural cities and the social production of space.

▼ The construction of the U.S. interstate system during the 1950s and 1960s was harmful for American urban environments. That ultimately left behind a concrete jungle of elevated and depressed structures that transformed traditional dense walking cities into auto-oriented ones, dedicating vast amounts of space to the movement and storage of cars. Today we struggle with the consequences of these design decisions, felt in growing traffic congestion, harmful environmental conditions, and dysfunctional urban districts. With many urban freeways reaching the end of their design lives urbanists, planners, and officials have started to reevaluate past transportation policy and even discuss eliminating sections of freeways within the urban fabric as a means of saving money, removing barriers and freeing up desirable and scarce urban land for what they deem more pressing uses. The purpose of this thesis is to consider re-purposing of a section of I-5’s corridor through downtown Seattle, and the research seeks to understand why it could be a viable option for improving the quality of life in the city, avoiding a budget-crippling rebuild, and help facilitate further investment in mass transit to provide more mobility options. Embarking on a project like this would be challenging for Seattle due to jurisdictional issues, varying priorities, high traffic volumes, lack of available case studies and regional economic concerns, however, with I-5 occupying valuable urban land and with traffic congestion worsening, and understanding that expanding the highway is neither fruitful in terms of congestion relief or feasible due to a lack of space and budget constraints, it is time to examine bold interventions, such as freeway removal, that seek to remove cars from the road, that can meet many
planning objectives like housing development and multi-modal transit while also confronting past
planning mistakes and establishing a new paradigm for urban living.

▼ What defines a successful, multimodal street? What elements must be incorporated into street design to provide those using non-motorized methods of transportation with a comfortable, safe, delightful, and aesthetically pleasing street experience? Today’s public officials and urban planners are increasingly focused on creating urban street environments that are safe and welcoming for people using all forms of transportation – not just for those in automobiles. At the heart of this
planning mindset is the “Complete Streets” movement, which rose to prominence in the early 21st century. Complete Streets are designed to serve pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and drivers, while also considering the needs of people with disabilities, children, and the elderly. However, the Complete Streets movement focuses mostly on balancing the equity needs of user mobility, while neglecting other elements of street design. This study addresses how urban design techniques can be harnessed to create a more comfortable, safer, enjoyable, and aesthetically pleasing pedestrian realm on S Henderson Street in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood. The first step in this exploratory sequential research study was to conduct several unstructured interviews with Rainier Beach residents and Seattle Department of Transportation employees to gain a better understanding of how they think the street is currently functioning and to understand what the City of Seattle has done and plans to do to improve it. Next, I identified assessment measures to evaluate how well S Henderson Street’s pedestrian right-of-way is currently functioning. Two sets of assessment measures were identified: 1) Jan Gehl’s “12 Quality Criteria” from his book Cities for People, and 2) three criteria from Schulze + Grassov’s “Parameters for Public Spaces in Copenhagen” manual. I used the 15 criteria to evaluate each pedestrian right-of-way block as “good,” “average,” or “poor.” Once I evaluated S Henderson Street using all 15 criteria, I converted it to a numerical format (poor=1; average=2; good=3). Collectively, S Henderson scored just below average (1.77), meaning the street is not performing well for pedestrians. From this initial exploration, I used relevant literature, the 2012 Rainier Beach Neighborhood Plan Update, and my current conditions scoring to analyze and add to the neighborhood’s design visions for S Henderson Street. Recommendations included intersection redesigns and improvements, additional seating, sidewalk repairs, green street upgrades, and branding opportunities for the community.

(more)
▼ The right of way between Broadway and 12th Avenue on Pike Street un Capitol Hill has been identified as a place of interest for pedestrian-oriented design solutions by Capitol Hill community members and the city. In the summers of 2015 and 2017, the Seattle Department of Public Transportation’s Public Space Management Group has hosted temporary street closures to address issues of safety and the community’s desire to repurpose the right of way. These events were held in the evening hours. Community members have voiced concerns that the nightlife orientation of these street closures may result in the area being viewed as solely a bar scene when there exist many more uses of the site. In order to address this, this public life study looked into how the site functions throughout the day. The People Street Program Evaluation method of the Los Angeles Department of Transportation was adapted to analyze the study area. Pedestrian counts, activity scans, pedestrian intercept surveys, and business operator surveys were conducted in the study area. The results of which have led to a few recommendations. First, the city and community should continue exploring temporary street closures, as there appears to still be a debate among stakeholders on the idea. In these interim design solutions, project evaluation methods should be implemented to ensure that feedback about previous designs are heard and therefore addressed in subsequent proposals. Through multiple iterations, there may come a day when a permanent solution is agreed upon. Secondly, the next design should steer away from solely focusing on evening hours. It was found that stakeholders would like to see a more robust design and events that address the use of the space throughout the day. Thirdly, the designs should reflect the communities that have historically called Capitol Hill home and continue to. There has been an observed shift in demographics due to redevelopment and there are fears that this safe space for the LGBTQ community is vanishing. Finally, concerns over the built environments have been raised in recent history leading to urban design policies to preserve neighborhood character. Future design proposals should look to bolster and enhance the built character of the Pike/Pine corridor.

▼ This report conducts an equity analysis on the 2014 Seattle Bicycle Master Plan for the purpose of assessing the level of access to bicycle facilities for bicycle dependent populations. Initial findings reveal higher overall levels of access for census block groups in Seattle with relatively high equity scores. However, some clusters of block groups with high equity scores in the northern and southern portions of Seattle were found to have relatively low bicycle facility access. In addition, the average level of access for block groups with higher than the citywide average of youth and older adults was found to be significantly lower than block groups below the citywide average. The methods and results from this analysis are suggested for use in modifying or expanding the bicycle networks to address the inequities identified, and for application in the 2015 Seattle Bicycle Master Plan Implementation Plan. These initial findings should be verified through additional analysis that addresses the limitations of the methods chosen and provides additional context. The limitations of the methods chosen are specifically addressed and recommended improvements given for the additional analysis required and for future equity analyses in other communities.

▼ This research is a comparative study of building design guidelines in North American Chinatowns, with specific attention to the exteriors façade design of historically significant buildings. It aims to provide insight as to the effectiveness of building design controls in communicating the concept of community character compatibility and achieving the goal of rehabilitating and maintaining the exteriors of historic buildings. The research includes a brief account of public design control and guidelines for façade alterations in the International District, as well as detailed analysis of approaches to rehabilitating historic buildings adopted by other similar neighborhoods and how these approaches might be applied to the improvement of future design guidelines for the International District. This comparative study should assist policy-makers in drafting design guidelines, and guide further research on the complicated issue of stakeholder participation, financial feasibility and mechanism of implementation. Thus it was mainly informed by a review of secondary source materials and by a comparative study of guidelines for rehabilitating historic buildings in similar neighborhoods.

Department of Urban Design &
Planning In response to Seattle’s affordable housing shortage, the City of Seattle adopted the Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda (HALA), which aims to ensure affordable housing options. Yet with limited developable land, how will the City accomplish such a significant task? A possible option is redevelopment of Seattle’s four municipally owned golf courses, which offer huge amounts of developable land. Therefore, this study aims to determine: When accounting for amount of buildable land on each of Seattle’s four municipal golf courses, which course would best aid in reaching goals set forth by HALA? Research suggests that this approach is feasible, and, through a multilevel analysis of each municipal golf course, this study will determine each municipal golf courses’ redevelopment potential. Based on this analysis, Jefferson Park Golf Course offers the highest redevelopment potential. However, each municipal golf course presents potential to alleviate Seattle’s housing shortage. Further exploration regarding redevelopment potential at each municipal golf course would aid in determining if, when, and how many municipal golf course conversions would be most effective in combatting Seattle’s affordable housing shortage.

▼ The Pike/Pine corridor is a vibrant, densely populated area within the greater Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. The area has distinct architectural character due to its history as Seattle’s auto-row. After much of the auto industry left the area, a number of the buildings that previously housed automobile-related businesses were converted into affordable artist lofts. Concurrently, Seattle’s LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) community established itself on Capitol Hill. In the 1990s, the area became the center for grunge music. Low rents made Pike/Pine an attractive area for young entrepreneurs to experiment, and as a result, the area came to boast a diverse mix of gritty, unique businesses that contribute to a distinct local character. In the past decade, there has been extensive real estate development activity in Pike/Pine. In 2009, Seattle created the city’s first conservation district in Pike/Pine in an attempt to manage change and protect neighborhood character. There is a public perception that the neighborhood is gentrifying and that its quirkiness and grittiness are being diluted. Working within the academic context of gentrification and neighborhood character, this work presents four redevelopment projects in Pike/Pine in order to clarify the phenomenon that people are observing and evaluate the efficacy of the Pike/Pine Conservation Overlay District (PPCOD) as a tool to preserve neighborhood character.

▼ This thesis is the conclusion of an almost 18-month long process of producing a draft Comprehensive Plan update for the City of Westport, Washington. The key focus of the Comprehensive Plan update was to integrate hazard mitigation and resiliency strategies into the Plan to help plan for a more resilient future for the City. The process of the Comprehensive Plan update included several engagement activities with both the City of Westport staff and the public to assist in developing recommendations for this update. The primary purpose of these engagement activities is to solicit information from the community in an asset-based approach to better understand the assets and values that are of importance to the community and how to protect and enhance these against natural hazards. Although this is an individual thesis project the actual drafting of the Comprehensive Plan update was a collaborative effort between myself and my thesis committee, and was supported by Kevin Goodrich, the Public Works Director for the City of Westport. There has also been significant input from the University of Washington studio team of students and teachers who worked together with the City of Westport and project partners to develop a report with draft recommendations for the Comprehensive Plan update in autumn 2018.

Protecting Your Assets: an Evaluation of Museum Emergency Planning Practices in New Zealand Museums.

▼ Museums around the world are often affected by major catastrophes, and yet
planning for these disasters is an often neglected aspect of museum practice. New Zealand is not immune from these events, as can be seen in the recent series of serious earthquakes in Christchurch in 2010 and 2011. This dissertation considers how prepared the New Zealand museum sector is to handle unexpected events that negatively affect its buildings, staff, operations and treasured collections. The central research question was: What is the overall state of emergency
planning in the New Zealand museum sector? There was a significant gap in the literature, especially in the local context, as there has been only one other comparable study conducted in Britain, and nothing locally. This dissertation makes a valuable contribution to the field of museum studies by drawing on theory from relevant areas such as crises management literature and by conducting original empirical research on a topic which has received little attention hitherto.
The research employed a number of methods, including a review of background secondary sources, a survey and interviews. After contextualising the study with a number of local examples, Ian online survey was then developed an which enabled precise understanding of the nature of current museum practices and policies around emergency
planning. Following this I conducted several interviews with museum professionals from a variety of institutional backgrounds which explored their thoughts and feelings behind the existing practices within the industry.
The findings of the research were significant and somewhat alarming: almost 40% of the museum and galleries in New Zealand do not have any emergency plan at all, and only 11% have what they considered ‘complete’ plans. The research revealed a clear picture of the current width and depth of
planning, as well as practices around updating the plans and training related to them. Within the industry there is awareness that
planning for emergencies is important, but museum staff typically lack the knowledge and guidance needed to conduct effective emergency
planning. As a result of the analysis, several practical suggestions are presented aimed at improving emergency
planning practices in New Zealand museums. However this study has implications for museum studies and for current museum practice everywhere, as many of the recommendations for resolving the current obstacles and problems are applicable anywhere in the world, suggesting that New Zealand museums could become leaders in this important area.

▼ The city of Groningen in the Netherlands is often
referred to as the "world cycling city" because over fifty percent
of trips are made on bicycles (Van Hoven & Elzinga, 2009). On
the contrary, just four percent of trips in Tempe, Arizona are on
bicycles (McKenzie, 2014). Through a series of interviews and
surveys, this study investigates what causes such high bicycling
rates in Groningen and applies these findings to Tempe. The results
suggest that Groningen experiences high bicycling rates because the
city uses "carrot" and "stick" policies to encourage bicycling and
discourage driving. It is therefore recommended that Tempe adopt
both types of policies to raise bicycling levels.

Wheels When Who Wants Them: Assessing Social Equity and Access Implications of Carsharing in NYC.

▼ Carsharing operations such as Zipcar have grown in popularity in the last two decades, and provide a case study for examining transportation equity. These programs provide a vehicle to rent by the hour or day usually based on an hourly fee and an annual membership fee. The service provides a transportation alternative that could reduce economic and environmental costs of car use, and increase access – ultimately creating a more sustainable transportation network. However, as with many transportation investments, it is unclear whether these benefits are actually accruing to those with the most limited transport options. Governments subsidize carsharing operations through free parking for shared vehicles; New York City has even altered its zoning code to promote carsharing and encourages the system through PlaNYC 2030. Public subsidization provides the impetus for analyzing private carshare providers through a social justice framework. This thesis will examine whether the distribution of Zipcars (the largest carsharing operator in NYC) is socially equitable, and whether carsharing could potentially increase transport equity through alternative carshare models. The study uses mixed methods including spatial and statistical analysis of carshare density to determine if shared vehicles are correlated with equity variables, controlling for feasibility indicators. This research also includes an intercept survey to determine the barriers and potential of carsharing for non-work trips. The results indicate that shared vehicle density is most closely related to low car ownership, high level of alternative commuters, and high level of education; and that both spatial and corporate barriers exclude segments of the public from participating in the service. Expanding the opportunity to access carsharing through community-based innovations and government intervention could create a more equitable and sustainable transportation system.
