HOW A UNIVERSITY AND A FOUNDATION TURNED AROUND A DEPRESSED COMMUNITY BY GETTING PEOPLE TO INVEST AGAIN
By Dan Grech @dgrech
Report
This document provides background information on heavy lift operations in Manhattan. It defines heavy lift as cargo over 100 metric tons and notes that utility companies like ConEd regularly require waterfront access to transport heavy equipment. Two precedents for heavy lift sites in Manhattan are discussed: Pier 86, where ConEd currently operates; and the Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island, where demolition waste and materials are barged to reduce truck traffic. The document also includes diagrams of standard heavy lift barge and cargo trailer equipment. The goal of this study is to identify additional suitable sites along Manhattan's waterfront to support heavy lift activities for utilities, construction, and emergencies.

Regenerating America's Legacy Cities
The document outlines 10 ways to regenerate legacy cities in America that have experienced population decline and loss of industry. It advocates for having faith in downtown areas and viable neighborhoods, strategically demolishing vacant structures, reinventing the economic base around local assets, ensuring all residents benefit from changes, and taking an incremental approach through collaboration rather than large projects. It also calls for building stronger local governance, regional ties, and reconsidering state and federal policies toward legacy cities so they can regain prosperity.
LF_XtremeLA_Blacksburg_Report
The document discusses two charrette sites in Blacksburg, Virginia that were the focus of an "Xtreme LA" event hosted by Virginia Tech. For the former middle school site (called "Middle Hill"), the team proposed mixed-use and mixed-density housing, connected open spaces, and pedestrian-friendly streets to create a diverse, connected new neighborhood. For the second site ("The Cradle") between a forest and trail, the team proposed preserving ecology, increasing connectivity and green space, and higher density housing while protecting natural areas. The charrette brought together professionals and students to develop creative planning solutions for managing growth in Blacksburg through sustainable development.

This document discusses two proposals to improve accessibility to the Wamsutta Mill Complex and Whale's Tooth Station in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The first proposal involves adding an off-ramp from Route 18 to provide direct access to Wamsutta. Simulations showed this would allow quicker access but did not benefit Whale's Tooth Station. The second proposal involved reconfiguring an intersection, but simulations found it hindered access to Wamsutta while only increasing access to Whale's Tooth Station. The conclusion calls for further study of a third design that could increase access to both locations.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
