Current application of urban renewal : New York, a case study

Kar, Mandira January 1991 (has links)
The Urban Renewal Program was an offshoot of the Federal housing Act of 1949, which alloted Federal funds to cities for redevelopment and slum clearance. Critics of urban renewal believe that the real intent of this program was redevelopment of the Central Business District, although officially the goal of the program was to provide a decent home and a pleasant living environment for the people. The result was improvement of inner city areas at the cost of uprooting and displacement of its residents.The Federal Urban Renewal Program ended in 1973, but local governments retained the option to use this strategy to revitalize neighborhoods. The politicians and planners of New York City have retained their faith in the Urban Renewal Program. They have modified the original program and concepts and are currently using it successfully to increase the housing stock and improve neighborhoods.The approach to urban renewal in New York City is very different from the preconceived notion that large scale demolition is the only method of implementation of an urban renewal plan. The scale and type of action varies according to specific needs of an area. Demolition is done only when necessary so that minimal relocation is required.Although provision of housing is the main thrust of the Urban Renewal Program, urban design issues are considered when preparing an urban renewal plan. This is a jointeffort by Federal, City and State agencies together with citizen input to create a better living environment for the people.This thesis analyses the reasons for this success through a discussion of case studies of current urban renewal projects in New York City. The focus of this research is on the neighborhoods of Arverne and Edgemere located in the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens. This study traces the planning process for these two urban renewal areas from their inception to the current status and identifies how urban renewal can be beneficial for the social and physical environment, and how it can be used as an effective planning tool. / Department of Urban Planning

Urbanistické řešení společenského centra obytného souboru Brno-Lesná / Urban concept of social center in residential complex Brno-Lesná

Márová, Kateřina January 2015 (has links)
The subject of thesis is the solution of urban study of social centre Brno Lesna, which hasn´t been completed according to the original design. Mentioned location is situated at the borough Brno-Sever, exactly in the southern part of the quarter Brno-Lesna. The thesis aim is to analyze the cited area and then design appropriate complement of functions. The design suggestion should not involve the original urban design and newly created values. One other aspect is to check out the functioning of the traffic infrastructure and to design the modifications. The main idea is to bring the population of the peripheral parts of the area to the centre and thus increase capacity utilization of social centre.

Land a cquisition for temporary use during construction of municipal streets / Tillfäll ig markåtkomst vid kommunal gatubyggnation

Bernebrant, Daniel, Bothin, Ellinor January 2016 (has links)
When infrastructure is under construction there may be a necessity for temporary land access. This thesis aims to explore the temporary needs of land while municipal streets and roads are being constructed. Needs that doesn´t remain when the street is completed. Those needs can for example be temporary cargo roads or - as the cover image shows - a work area by the side of the road. When national infrastructure is constructed there are legal possibilities to arrange temporary land access compulsively. Temporary usufruct can be created forcibly through work plans according to the Railway Construction Act and the Road Act. On the other hand, when municipal infrastructure is constructed these legislations do not apply. There is no law that directly regulates municipal road construction. In special legislation which regulates municipal land access there is no explicit support for compulsive temporary land access. An empirical study shows that municipalities to a high degree rely on voluntary agreements to access land temporary. In those situations where agreements cannot be met, but there is still a great need of temporary land access, the municipality turn to the cadastral authority. However, the cadastral authority has dubious support in legislation to establish rights of a temporary nature compulsively. A solution that has been applied in practice is formation of temporary easement by the cadastral authority, to meet the necessity of temporary work areas. This solution would be contrary to the requirement of that the purpose of easements must be of permanent significance. Interviews has also indicated that easements formed by the cadastral authority for permanent roadside ditches sometimes also are used as temporary work areas during construction of streets. If such an easement is used for another purpose than a ditch, the easement’s right is exceeded. It cannot be considered a legal secure order that easements are used for other purposes than intended. There have not been found a satisfactory way in the legislation to compulsively meet the need of temporary land access for municipalities. It is therefore proposed that a change is made in the legislation to allow the cadastral authority to form temporary easements for temporary land access. The change should be an exception of the requirement for permanent significance in those cases the purpose of the easement fulfills an important public interest and is temporary. As an alternative, enabling of temporary usufruct through zoning plans could be a solution to the problem. / Vid anläggande av infrastruktur kan det finnas behov av tillfällig markåtkomst. Detta examensarbete tar sikte på de tillfälliga behov av mark som finns vid anläggande av kommunala gator och vägar. De tillfälliga behoven kan utgöras av alltifrån tillfälliga transportvägar till – som bilden på framsidan visar – ett arbetsområde vid sidan av vägen. När statlig infrastruktur ska anläggas finns legala möjligheter att ordna tillfällig markåtkomst tvångsvis. Tillfälliga officialnyttjanderätt kan tillskapas genom järnvägs- och vägplan enligt lagen om byggande av järnväg respektive väglagen. När kommunal infrastruktur ska anläggas är dessa lagar inte tillämpliga. Någon enskild lagstiftning för kommunal gatubyggnation finns inte. I speciallagstiftning som tillgodoser kommunala markbehov finns inte heller något uttryckligt stöd för tvångsvis tillfällig markåtkomst. I examensarbetet har en empirisk undersökning med intervjuer genomförts. Där har framkommit att kommuner i hög grad förlitar sig på frivilliga överenskommelser. I de fall avtal inte kan slutas, men behoven av tillfällig markåtkomst är stort, tvingas kommunen vända sig till lantmäterimyndigheten. Emellertid har lantmäterimyndigheten tvivelaktigt stöd i lag för att kunna bilda rättigheter av tillfällig natur. En lösning som har tillämpats i praktiken är bildande av tillfälligt officialservitut enligt 7 kap. 1 § FBL, för att tillgodose behov av arbetsområde. Denna lösning torde dock vara i strid med kravet på att ändamål med servitut måste vara av stadigvarande betydelse enligt 14 kap. 1 § JB. Det har även uppmärksammats att servitut för permanent slänt ibland används som tillfälligt arbetsområde under byggtiden av kommunala gator. Om ett släntservitutsområde använts för annat ändamål än slänt överskrids rättigheten. Ingen särskild prövning har gjorts av det andra ändamålet, dvs. arbetsområdet. Till följd av detta görs intrång i äganderätten utan prövning, vilket kan anses vara en kränkning av äganderätten. Sammanfattningsvis har inga tillfredsställande sätt hittats, som tvångsvist kan tillgodose behovet av tillfällig markåtkomst vid gatubyggnation. Därför föreslås att en ändring görs i 7 kap. 1 § FBL som medger avsteg från kravet om stadigvarande betydelse, i de fall ändamålet med servitutet tillgodoser ett angeläget allmänt intresse och är av tillfällig natur. Ett alternativ till detta är att tillfälliga officialnyttjanderätter kan tillskapas genom en detaljplan.
