The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Introduce this as the first topic Briefly discuss that one of the basic principles of quality growth and preventing sprawl is reusing what we already have. But it can be more than just efficient use of land, reinvestment is fundamental to creating thriving and economically vital places. Reinvestment includes: -Redevelopment, -Infill development, -Remediation and reuse of grayfield and brownfield sites, -Revitalization of disinvested areas One way to frame this first topic: Like most American communities after WWII, the Cumberland Region experienced: -Suburban development patterns -Shift of jobs and commercial uses away from the traditional city centers -Advent of auto-oriented land uses, site design and supporting infrastructure (wider, faster roads) As these patterns of growth continue the results have been: -Lack of reinvestment in town centers as buildings and uses become obsolete and convenient new uses are built in outlying areas -Lack of renovation and reuse of older parts of communities Point out successful revitalization efforts such as the Main Street Historic Trust Program (see additional material), and point out local examples of vibrant downtowns or districts (do some homework) Emphasize that there is still a tremendous redevelopment potential in the region, [county]
Benefits of reinvestment: Emphasize that reinvestment preserves our historic and cultural resources. Benefits to highlight: -Creates a sense of community and helps create unique places with lasting value for the community -Reduces the need to construct new and expensive infrastructure to serve new development (although sometimes existing infrastructure requires renovation and upgrading) -By providing housing and jobs within existing centers, slows the growth of new development in outlying areas. This has positive affects on travel patterns and traffic congestion. -Reinvestment is an important element in creating walkable, mixed-use, compact development, a fundamental tenet of linking transportation and land use.
This is the first of a series of photo-simulations used in the Toolbox presentation. Describe that simulation is an important tool in planning because it: Helps people envision what could be and visually describes a community vision or goal. Provides a before and after comparison where we lack these examples. Simulation shows how we can take an area of disinvestment, an area lacking vitality and incrementally invest in transportation and infrastructure that guides and encourages private investment in land use. This is an example in Memphis (Broad Street) where lack of economically strong land uses and unwelcoming pedestrian facilities underutilizes the existing infrastructure. Important to give credit to Steve Price of UrbanAdvantage who provided the simulations for the toolbox presentation.
This slide demonstrates an example of public investment in the transportation system that improves the pedestrian environment, increase on-street parking and sets the stage for private investment. Important to note that the public investments can be implemented incrementally over time and in conjunction with private development. Note that part of reinvesting in town centers is to ensure that the street is designed to complement, support, and become part of the placemaking vision for the area.
Finally, over time, private investment responds to public investment. Note the important role the design of the street plays in supporting and creating the quality and character of the place.
This slide provides an overview of the strategies in this topic. There are six key strategies. Explain that you will go into more detail on each of these strategies, and that each strategy is accompanied by a set of tools. Also note the examples of reinvestment shown, and that you will provide more details on one of these examples later in the topic (The Factory at Franklin).
The strategy is to focus on areas that have the best promise for successful revitalization. These areas serve as catalysts for expanding revitalization and models for how to reinvest in other areas. Boundaries can be defined in many ways…through the development of plans, designation of redevelopment zones, corridors, improvement districts, historic districts, or individual blocks, projects, or buildings. Then focus your resources within this clearly defined area to ensure success
The success of reinvestment is dependent on a strong plans and policies and implementable regulatory framework. A good redevelopment plan establishes a vision, best developed with the community and stakeholders, and provides clear direction for public and private investments. Direction includes design guidance to ensure that implementation of the plan is consistent with the vision. A good redevelopment plan builds on the community’s unique assets and strengths such as history, and culture. A good plan reflects the community’s values.
Often reinvestment is oppressed because of burdensome regulatory red-tape, disincentives, and out-of-date planning codes. Removing the barriers not only makes reinvestment possible but encourages it. Common tools include revising the approval process to make it easier to develop consistent with the plan. Change regulations and old zoning to allow what was previously viewed as incompatible or undesirable, particularly higher densities, residential uses where previously prohibited, and mixing uses both horizontally and vertically. Consider developing and implementing a form-based code (see additional material to help describe form-based code) where development is regulated and guided by the design of the streets, sites and buildings rather than land use. Finally, completely revise, or at least modernize codes to allow desirable development and to encourage and incentivize reinvestment. (see additional material on Tennessee incentive programs and for examples of how codes can be updated).
It is one thing to allow and encourage investment in a community’s vision, it is another thing to provide incentives and actively participate in achieving the vision. There are many tools that serve as incentives, some are listed here. Use your plan to determine which tools are the best for your unique situations, develop incentive programs, then actively promote the incentives. Incentives are not advantageous if noone knows about them. Describe a couple of the incentives, especially those you are familiar with. This is a good opportunity to research on local examples of reinvestment incentives, successful incentive programs and those that have failed. If using examples of failures, make sure you understand why they failed.
In the Transportation and land use topic we will be explaining the “3 D’s”, density, diversity and design, and how interact to create transportation efficient communities. This slide stresses the design aspect of creating places. The important aspect to emphasize is that good design: Encourages the use of alternative transportation modes, but particularly walking Creates community pride in their centers Supports economic vitality by encouraging people to linger, socialize and explore. Attracts people who normally would not visit, live or work in the community. Design is critical but needs consistent guidance. Design guidelines and special zoning districts establish clear expectations. Good design works best with public/private partnerships. Highlight a few of the tools, but emphasize the importance of developing good design guidelines.
This is another simulation example from Memphis (Steve Price) illustrating a before condition…
The types of public investments: Pedestrian enhancements / lighting Streetscape/landscaping
And finally with private investment in the form of new development built in a manner that creates a more pedestrian and community-oriented development pattern.
The Context Sensitive approach to planning involves working collaboratively with stakeholders early in the planning process. Emphasize the value of looking “outside the box” for stakeholder that can provide knowledge, history, skills, and support to a revitalization project. Organizations can help… -plan and strategize -finance and implement Use the example of the National Tennessee Main Street Program (see additional information) Local organizations should be involved in the planning stage and throughout implementation. Can consider professional assistance such as charrettes, workshops, and preparation of planning documents.
This is a list of local, regional and statewide resources that can provide information and assistance with redevelopment, revitalization and preservation.
Toolbox contains sidebar with this information Emphasize the tools used….. Rehabilitation guidelines, tax credits and local redevelopment incentives Privately purchased abandoned Jamison Bedding property it from the City of Franklin in 1997. Property and buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Used Department of Interior Guidelines for Rehabilitation and Restoration, Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits and other redevelopment incentives. Used adaptive reuse principles to transform brown field site into successful center of activity for Franklin and Williamson County. Leases were arranged and renovation of the multiple building complex completed in phases. In 10 years, The Factory at Franklin has used every portion of the property and become a vibrant destination for retail, community services, churches, the arts and housing. Currently a development group is constructing new office and residential space that is architecturally inspired by the factory’s industrial buildings on adjacent properties.
