The first large-scale elaboration of the City Beautiful occurred in Chicago at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. The planning of the exposition was directed by architect Daniel Burnham, who hired architects from the eastern United States, as well as the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, to build large-scale Beaux-Arts monuments that were vaguely classical with uniform cornice height. The exposition displayed a model city of grand scale, known as the "White City", with modern transport systems and no poverty visible. The exposition is credited with resulting in the large-scale adoption of monumentalism for American architecture for the next 15 years. Richmond, Virginia's Monument Avenue is one expression of this initial phase.

Jane Jacobs was an American-Canadian journalist, author, and activist who influenced urban studies, sociology, and economics. This is a short presentation that I prepared for my course in my Masters.
In land use planning, urban open space is open space areas for "parks", "green spaces", and other open areas. The landscape of urban open spaces can range from playing fields to highly maintained environments to relatively natural landscapes. They are commonly open to public access, however, urban open spaces may be privately owned. Areas outside city boundaries, such as state and national parks as well as open space in the countryside, are not considered urban open space. Streets, piazzas, plazas and urban squares are not always defined as urban open space in land use planning.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Public participation in planning refers to the process of involving members of the
public in the decision-making process related to urban and regional planning.
The goal of public participation is to ensure that the planning process is
inclusive, transparent, and responsive to the needs and preferences of the
community.
Public participation in planning involves engaging members of the public in
discussions about planning proposals, soliciting feedback and opinions, and
incorporating that feedback into planning decisions. It recognizes that members
of the public have valuable insights and expertise that can improve the quality
and effectiveness of planning decisions.
3. z
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES
TO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Public participation in planning has a rich history that has evolved over time. Here are some historical perspectives on public
participation:
Early Planning: The early days of planning were characterized by top-down decision-making, where planners and government
officials made decisions without consulting the public. This approach was based on the belief that experts knew best, and the
public did not have the knowledge or expertise to contribute meaningfully to the planning process.
Civil Rights Movement: The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s played an important role in shifting the approach to public
participation in planning. The movement highlighted the voices and perspectives of traditionally marginalized groups, leading to a
greater focus on equity and social justice in planning.
Environmental Movement: The environmental movement of the 1970s also played a significant role in shaping public
participation in planning. The movement highlighted the importance of public participation in protecting the environment and led to
the creation of laws and policies that require public participation in planning.
Community Planning: In the 1980s and 1990s, there was a growing movement towards community-based planning, which
emphasized the importance of involving local communities in the planning process. This approach recognized the unique
perspectives and needs of local communities and aimed to create more inclusive and responsive planning outcomes.
Digital Age: With the advent of the internet and digital communication technologies, public participation has become more
accessible and inclusive. Online engagement methods, such as social media, online forums, and interactive mapping tools, have
provided new opportunities for members of the public to participate in planning processes from their own devices.
Overall, public participation in planning has evolved over time to become more inclusive, participatory, and responsive to the
needs and perspectives of local communities

WHY PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Improved Planning Outcomes: Public participation can lead to better planning outcomes by ensuring that proposals reflect
community values and priorities. By engaging members of the public in the planning process, planners can gain a better
understanding of community needs and preferences and create more effective planning proposals.
Increased Transparency and Accountability: Public participation can increase transparency and accountability in the planning
process. By involving the public in decision-making, planners can help to build trust and understanding between the community
and government, resulting in greater acceptance of planning proposals.
Social Equity: Public participation can promote social equity by ensuring that traditionally marginalized groups have a voice in the
planning process. By engaging with these groups and including their perspectives in planning proposals, planners can create
more equitable and just outcomes.
Enhanced Community Understanding: Public participation can help to enhance community understanding of planning issues
and proposals. By providing opportunities for education and dialogue, members of the public can learn about planning proposals
and provide feedback to planners.
Increased Civic Engagement: Public participation can increase civic engagement by providing opportunities for community
members to get involved in decision-making related to planning proposals. This can lead to a greater sense of ownership and
investment in the community, resulting in more active and engaged citizens.
Improved Implementation: Public participation can improve the implementation of planning proposals by ensuring that proposals
are tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the community. By involving the public in the planning process, planners can
help to ensure that proposals are more likely to be successfully implemented.
Overall, public participation in planning can lead to more inclusive, effective, and equitable planning outcomes that reflect the needs and
perspectives of the community.

METHODS OF PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION
Public Meetings: Public meetings are a traditional method of public participation in planning. These meetings are typically held in
person or virtually and provide an opportunity for members of the public to provide input on planning proposals, share concerns,
and ask questions.
Surveys and Questionnaires: Surveys and questionnaires can be used to gather information from members of the public about
their opinions and preferences related to planning proposals. These can be distributed online, through mail or in person.
Workshops and Focus Groups: Workshops and focus groups are more intensive forms of public participation, where a small
group of individuals engage in discussions with planners and experts on specific topics related to planning proposals.
Public Hearings: Public hearings are a formal process where members of the public can provide testimony in front of planning
boards and other decision-makers. They are typically held in a public space, and members of the public can submit written or oral
testimony.
Online Engagement: Online engagement methods, such as social media, online forums, and interactive mapping tools, can be
used to engage a broader audience of individuals who may not be able to attend in-person meetings.
Community Outreach: Community outreach is an important method of public participation that involves reaching out to
traditionally underrepresented or marginalized groups in the planning process, such as low-income or minority communities. This
can be done through targeted communication and outreach strategies, including public events and door-to-door canvassing.
By using a combination of these methods, planners can gather a wide range of perspectives and ideas from members of the
public and create more inclusive and effective planning proposals. process. By involving the public in decision-making, planners
can help to build trust and understanding between the community and government, resulting in greater acceptance of planning
proposals.

design solution. This type of workshop is often used in urban design and landscape architecture to engage stakeholders in the
design process.
Public Forum Workshop: A public forum workshop is an open meeting where the public can express their opinions on planning
issues. This type of workshop is often used to discuss controversial or complex planning issues with a large group of people.
Stakeholder Workshop: A stakeholder workshop is a meeting that brings together representatives from different stakeholder
groups to discuss planning issues. This type of workshop is often used to engage with specific interest groups, such as
environmental organizations or business associations.
Visioning Workshop: A visioning workshop is a collaborative process where stakeholders and planners work together to create
a shared vision for the future. This type of workshop is often used to establish long-term planning goals and objectives.
Charrette Workshop: A charrette workshop is a short, intensive design workshop that brings together stakeholders and
designers to develop a design solution in a short period of time. This type of workshop is often used to create design solutions for
a specific site or project.
