Urban agriculture in shrinking American citiesZhang, Chiyuan 08 August 2012 (has links)
Historically, community gardens have served to provide food during wartime or periods of economic depression. Today, in addition to fresh and healthy produce, community gardens provide many other economical, social and environmental benefits. Many industrial cities have suffered severe damage to their economic base and lost at least 20 percent of their residents since half a century ago. Shrinking cities have become an issue that challenges the conventional planning orthodoxies assuming a constant-growth reality that no longer existed. There is a general understanding of how urban agriculture can benefit participants, neighborhoods, and communities. However, there are not many studies that particularly focus on urban agriculture and its association with stabilizing and revitalizing neighborhoods in shrinking cities. The purpose of this article is to understand the motivations and justifications of establishing urban agriculture in shrinking cities and how urban agriculture is perceived as economic and social tools for revitalizing the neighborhoods and reshaping the cityscapes through comparative case studies of Detroit and Cleveland. / text

A Design for DeclineGray, Richard January 2020 (has links)
Both in practice and theory, the focus in architecture is often largely about growth. Architecture is, therefore, a tool that we largely use to accommodate growth. However, whilst many cities are experiencing growth, many are facing population decline. Latvia’s capital Riga is one example of this. So while architecture often fixates on growth, the discourse on decline does not normally involve architecture. With this project, I sought to investigate the question: ‘How can we use architecture as a tool to accommodate decline?’ Through the study of an empty site in Riga, in an area which has lost 60% of its resident population since 2000, the project envisages a building designed to slowly consolidate the functions of a shrinking city over an extended time span. The proposal, a ‘House of Everything’ (Latvian: Viskautkā Māja) is developed in two main ways. First, through a strategy for the site, delineating the rules and parameters for the anticipated building and its functions. Second, with a detailed test, using the strategy to develop a completed building.

Územní studie využití aktuálního rozvojového území Dolní Vítkovice, Ostrava / Urban study of developing area Dolní VítkoviceVlach, Jan January 2018 (has links)
The object of this Thesis is an area adjacent to European heritage site of Dolni Vitkovice, in the city of Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian Region. This work focuses on making the area more accessible by all means of transportation, overcoming natural and man-made barriers as well as exploring the possibility of dense development on the site while maintaining its industrial identity. All that in context of otherwise slowly shrinking post-industrial city with aging and declining urban population.
