This document discusses the differences between snapshot and composed photographs. It defines a snapshot as a casual, unorganized photo taken quickly without attention to compositional details, while a composed photo is an artistic interpretation where elements are carefully arranged. It provides tips for turning a snapshot into a composed photo, such as cropping to focus on key elements, changing the point of view, or reinterpreting the subject in a more symbolic way that connects with broader audiences. Composed photos utilize principles like rule of thirds, light and shadow, framing, and symbolism to communicate meaning.

1. The document discusses trends in downtown populations and households in major U.S. cities between 1970-2008, finding that while overall U.S. population growth is slowing, some downtowns are growing faster than their cities through redevelopment and annexation.
2. Cities are categorized in 2005 based on their downtown's development as fully developed, emerging, on the edge of takeoff, slow-growing, or declining, and revisited in 2008 to see how they changed.
3. Case studies of downtown populations and households in Charlotte, Cincinnati, and Orlando between 1970-2008 show examples of growth through new development and investments.
Austin is experiencing rapid population growth, averaging 49% each decade since the 1960s. This growth is fueled mainly by domestic migration, as 61% of new households moving to Austin come from other parts of Texas. Key factors attracting newcomers include a strong economy with 13.9% job growth since 2009, second only to Nashville. While housing costs in Austin remain competitive for now, affordability is declining with median home prices rising 65% in the last decade. High-paying jobs in technology, engineering, healthcare and education are contributing to Austin's status as an attractive place to live and work.
This document summarizes economic data for Austin, Texas from 2000-2015. It finds that Austin has experienced strong population and job growth, ranking highly among US metro areas.

Boston's population has grown steadily since 1980, accelerating in recent years, with over 700,000 residents expected by 2030. Since 2000, Boston has become a "majority-minority" city as the non-white population, including immigrants from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia, now makes up over 50% of residents. Boston's diversity index has increased between 2000 and 2010, indicating people of different racial and ethnic groups are more likely to interact.
Boston's population has grown steadily since 1980, accelerating in recent years, and is projected to surpass 700,000 residents by 2030. Since 2000, Boston has become a "majority-minority" city as the population shares of white residents have declined while Hispanic, black, and Asian populations have increased due to immigration and higher birth rates among minority groups. Engagement efforts since 2015 have included over 12,000 interactions with Bostonians to understand their vision for the city's future.
Silicon Valley is facing a severe housing shortage as high-paying jobs in tech companies are attracting many new workers, but housing construction has not kept pace with demand. As a result, real estate prices and rents have skyrocketed, pricing out many lower- and middle-income residents. Some workers now face long commutes or are becoming homeless. The shortage stems from the rapid growth of major tech employers like Apple and Google, which have brought thousands of new jobs to their hometowns of Cupertino and Mountain View respectively, without a proportional increase in housing units. The paper examines this issue and proposes ideas to help alleviate the tension in Silicon Valley's housing market.

The document provides a partial plan update for the City of Jackson from 2010 to 2014. It includes sections on demographics, quality community objectives, areas requiring special attention, issues and opportunities, goals and policies, and an implementation program. Key points include a decreasing population projection from 3,835 in 2010 to 3,636 in 2030, an aging population with the largest age group being 65 and over, and industries like manufacturing and construction being major employers but negatively impacted by the recession. The document analyzes trends and makes recommendations to attract residents, boost education levels, and recruit new jobs.
The document summarizes economic trends in Austin from 2003-2013 that contributed to its strong growth and prosperity. It notes that Austin experienced the second highest GDP growth and top job growth among large US metro areas during this period. However, it warns that success can breed complacency and that challenges remain around income stagnation, education inequality, and housing affordability. The document calls for big ideas to address these issues, such as setting goals for a majority of residents to obtain a postsecondary degree and using opportunities like the new medical school to promote broad-based wealth creation and inclusion.
Economic Growth in Central Texas: The Promise and Reality of Prosperity in ou...Civic Analytics LLC
The document discusses economic growth in Austin, Texas. It finds that Austin has experienced rapid population growth in recent decades, ranking 11th nationally since 2000, primarily due to domestic migration from other parts of Texas and other states. This growth has been fueled by a strong tech sector and job market. However, concerns are raised that not all residents have benefited equally from the economic expansion, and that infrastructure and housing affordability challenges threaten future sustainability unless addressed. The discussion section focuses on improving education levels and workforce training to ensure inclusive economic participation.
This document discusses the redevelopment of Kakaako, Hawaii into an urban core living area. It provides background on the creation of the Hawaii Community Development Authority in 1976 to redevelop Kakaako. While development was initially slow, the population has grown from 2,250 residents in 1990 to over 10,000 residents in 2010. The document examines demographic and housing trends in Kakaako based on 2010 census data, showing a vacancy rate of 14% and homeownership rate of 46.4%. It also discusses factors driving increased demand for urban core living, like changing household compositions and preferences for more convenient lifestyles among newer generations.

The Lost Creek Civic Organization passed a resolution opposing CodeNEXT 3.0, Austin's proposed rewrite of its land development code. The resolution expressed concerns that CodeNEXT 3.0 would contradict deed restrictions in Lost Creek, increase litigation and degrade the neighborhood. It requested that the City commit to enforcing deed restrictions, reject provisions allowing non-residential uses or increased density, traffic, or impervious cover. The resolution also asked the City to postpone any vote on CodeNEXT 3.0 until more review and analysis could occur.
Lost Creek Wildfire Adapted Community PlanPaul Schumann
The Lost Creek Wildfire Adapted Community Plan aims to improve wildfire preparedness and safety in the Lost Creek neighborhood. The plan seeks to (1) inspect homes in high risk wildland-urban interface areas to assess compliance with firewise standards, (2) educate homeowners on mitigation measures and provide assistance with landscaping/debris removal, and (3) develop an evacuation plan coordinated with other entities in the area and provide education to residents. The plan also aims to conduct fuel reduction projects on public and private lands, advocate for improved emergency response times, and update local development codes to incorporate firewise building standards.
- The document analyzes housing affordability data from ZIP code 78704 in Austin.
- It finds that housing price is most strongly correlated with size and age of the home. Only condos built before 1972 are around $200,000, the price affordable to median income.
- Increasing density or housing diversity alone will not make housing affordable given current market conditions and construction costs. The real issue is socioeconomic and requires broader policies than land development code changes can address.
This document provides definitions and standards for 11 transect zones (T3-T6) that regulate building types, forms, and uses to create walkable urban environments. Each zone is defined by its intent, allowed building types and sizes, setbacks, parking standards, and intended uses. The zones range from low-density residential edges (T3) to high-intensity mixed-use cores (T6).
A Tale of Two Cities (Austin and Seattle)Paul Schumann
The document summarizes recommendations from a Seattle task force on housing affordability and compares planning approaches between Seattle and Austin. It notes that Seattle requires developers to include affordable units, prioritizes affordable housing on public land, and offers subsidies and tax breaks to encourage affordable development and prevent displacement. In contrast, the document argues Austin accepts too much development without ensuring affordability and quality of life. It calls for Austin to update neighborhood plans, engage diverse voices, and require all neighborhoods to participate in housing supply solutions.
by David King
A 2012 study by the City showed that Austin’s zoning capacity would accommodate a doubling of the population. That is apparently not enough for
organizations like the Real Estate Council of Austin
(RECA), Austin Board of Realtors (ABOR), and Austinites For Urban Rail Action (AURA). These groups blame single family zoning for the City’s housing affordability crisis and claim that entrenched neighborhood groups resist any changes to neighborhoods.
Fact Sheets on Fencing for Wildfire MitigationPaul Schumann
Noncombustible fencing materials within 5 feet of a home can help reduce wildfire risks. Combustible fencing can ignite from embers and spread fire to the nearby home. Fencing products made of noncombustible materials like steel or those with designs allowing better air flow are less likely to ignite from embers.
A wildfire adapted community is defined by the United States Forest Service as "a knowledgeable and
engaged community in which the awareness and actions of residents regarding infrastructure, buildings, landscaping, and the surrounding ecosystem lessens the need for extensive protection actions and enables the community to safely accept wildfire as a part of the surrounding landscape." The National Wildfire Coordinating Group definition, which was developed approved by the Wildland Urban Interface Mitigation Committee, is "A human community consisting of informed and prepared citizens collaboratively planning and taking action to safely coexist with wildland fire."
The document provides an assessment of wildfire risk for the Lost Creek community. It analyzes various wildfire risk factors like ignition density, fire intensity, rate of spread, and home defensibility across different areas of Lost Creek. GIS maps are used to visualize the data. Home defensibility is rated based on homeowners' ability to implement wildfire risk reduction measures within 100-200 feet of their homes. The analysis finds that Lost Creek has a serious wildfire risk and many homeowners have limited ability to protect their homes individually. It identifies priority areas for wildfire mitigation based on a combination of wildfire risk factors and home defensibility ratings.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
