In addition to discussing the theory and development of existing preservation approaches to cultural landscapes and industrial heritage sites, the study identifies characteristics and values aimed at expanding the framework of historic industrial landscape preservation practice. Using case studies of western hard-rock mining landscapes as the primary examples, the study argues that management strategies based on traditional preservation practices are insufficient for interpreting the complexity of these historic places, and that historic industrial landscape preservation is best served by attending to the range of values and processes associated with the historic landscape and its protection. / Committee in Charge: Robert Z.

This study attempts an investigation of the use of urban land. It is specifically concerned with the intensity of use of manufacturing sites in Greater Vancouver. Intensity of use is represented by three measures: per cent of site unused, amount of site unused, and structural density of the site. Several variables are hypothesized to account for much variation in these intensity measures. Regression techniques are employed to build predictive models of use intensity and to assess hypotheses. Amount of land unused is predicted successfully, structural density less so, and per cent of site unused unsuccessfully. Among the "explanatory" variables, expansion plans, although often cited as such, are found to be particularly unsuccessful as a predictor of "excess" site holdings. Instead, the size of sites is found to be the most powerful predictor of the intensity measures, but lacks a logical justification as a determining or explaining variable. Somewhat originally, corporate assets is hypothesized to account for site use intensity, and is actually found to add significantly to the multiple explanation of several intensity measures. / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate

In the face of growing economic inequality and population growth, several large cities in the US have started to proactively protect vital industrial lands from conversion to non-industrial uses. These new policies signal a potentially dramatic shift in both land-use and economic development practices. In the first essay of this dissertation I present a typology of existing industrial land protective policies after reviewing the comprehensive plans and zoning codes of the United States' fifty largest cities. I identify 11 cities with protective policies and highlight the variance of these policies by offering a simple two part typology based upon a city's use of increased usage restrictions or greater process requirements for conversion of protected parcels. The second essay presents results of a survey I administered to planners exploring the varied ways that planners understand the pressures facing industrial land in their cities and the political contexts they operate within regarding industrial land policy in their respective cities. I find that planners are generally supportive of industrial land protective policies but are ambivalent about the long term viability of industrial labor in cities and face political pressure to convert industrial land to non-industrial uses. The final essay presents an evaluation of protective land policies. I estimate a propensity score model measuring the change in manufacturing and broader "industrial" employment a the census tract level between 2009 and 2015 using LEHD LODES workplace association data. I estimate the propensity score model using a gradient boosted model and ultimately find a null effect of protective policies on manufacturing and "industrial" job growth.
