Jasper Downtown Riverfront Master Plan draftMatthew Crane
The document presents a master plan for downtown Jasper and the Patoka Riverfront. It identifies key areas for improvement, including Courthouse Square, enhancing connections between the downtown and riverfront, and reusing former industrial properties. The plan provides strategies and an action plan to strengthen these areas and create a more vibrant downtown district that capitalizes on recent investments along the riverfront.
This document provides an analysis of open space in the Blossom Park precinct of the City of Whittlesea. It finds there is excellent provision of open space, totaling 159.66 hectares or 43% of the precinct area. The available open space per person is 255 square meters. While overall provision is adequate, some gaps in accessibility were identified and the document recommends minor upgrades to several parks to improve paths, facilities, and landscaping. It also recommends a major upgrade of Kellynack Recreation Reserve to include more unstructured recreation areas and informal facilities.

The document discusses preliminary ideas for transforming the vacant Eleanor Park site in Colonial Beach, Virginia. It provides background on the site's history as a campground and mobile home park. It also outlines the site's existing conditions, including its size, zoning, utilities, and surrounding neighborhood. Guidance is presented from the town's 2009 Comprehensive Plan, which identifies the site as an area for improvement and encourages compatible infill development. Possible solutions are discussed, such as preserving the site as open space, subdividing for individual lots, or developing a regional stormwater facility with a park. Input from the community will help determine the best use.
This document outlines Vinh Le's academic work on three urban design projects:

HRCA Backcountry Wilderness Area Study Group PresentationHRCA
The Delegate Backcountry Study Group was formed to review documents related to allowable land uses in the Highlands Ranch Backcountry and compare them to a 2012 community survey. The group identified 31 parcels totaling 8,268 acres comprising the Backcountry, of which the HRCA owns 7,235 acres. The documents establish various uses allowed by right and through special review within Backcountry parcels and HRCA-owned planning areas. However, the 2012 survey found conflicts, with most respondents opposing uses like private sports facilities, cemeteries, colleges, and houses of worship. The group prepared recommendations for presenting to HRCA Delegates.

Urban water bodies like tanks, ponds, and canals are constructed to harvest rainwater for local use and provide environmental benefits. They serve functions like flood control, irrigation, drinking water supply, and groundwater recharge. Major examples of urban water body developments discussed include the Sabarmati Riverfront Development in Ahmedabad, which redeveloped over 500 acres along the riverfront, and the Kankaria Lake redevelopment in Ahmedabad, which enhanced a historic 4.8 km lake surrounded by public spaces and activities. Challenges to managing urban water bodies in India include a lack of clear definitions, data, strategies, and balanced management approaches.

Metro Louisville Urban Development: SoBroBrent Collins
Guest lecturer, Brent Collins, delivers a presentation to the University of Louisville eMBA students regarding Urban Development in Louisville's SoBro District. Luckett & Farley, the city's oldest architecture and engineering firm, calls SoBro home. It has played a role in the original urban development of Louisville beginning in 1853, with some of the firm's historical structure still present in the neighborhood. While many studies have been conducted in recent past, the "no man's land" of downtown is searching for an identity and beginning to organize its stakeholders to play a critical role in helping Louisville realize a strong Fourth Street Corridor from Main Street to Churchill Downs.
WalkUP Roslindale is a community group founded last April that aims to make Roslindale, MA the most walkable neighborhood in Boston. The group has over 270 Facebook friends and 170 Twitter followers. Their mission is to promote walkability in collaboration with neighbors. Some achievements include engaging developers to support walkability projects, conducting a visioning session and survey for a proposed walking path connecting to the Arnold Arboretum, hosting a film series about urban policies, and performing a walk audit of Roslindale Square to identify priorities to address with city officials. Challenges include gaining support from agencies and overcoming concerns about reducing parking for walking/biking.
This document summarizes the results of a community planning process in Damariscotta, Maine called the Heart and Soul Planning Project.

This document summarizes Ronald Lee Fleming's views on placemaking and infrastructure projects. It advocates that 1) new infrastructure should strengthen communities rather than divide them, 2) artists should be involved in the planning process to craft narratives about place, and 3) a modest budget for public art can build community value and support for projects. The document provides examples of projects the Townscape Institute has worked on that transformed communities through enhancing streetscapes, parks, and public spaces. It recommends that future development should preserve and enhance the distinctive character of places.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
