Economic Architecture’s Post

In this article for the American Planning Association, Patty Folan encourages people to consider the local market and see whether zoning reform, phased development, or pop-ups can make implementing transit-oriented development a reality. Folan is a visiting associate professor of landscape architecture in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design at the University of Arkansas.

Join us on Monday, November 4 for Architecture and Activism: Axel Timm. The practice of our collective raumlaborberlin refers very much to Lefebvre´s quote “Space is a product of (social) interaction." Thus our approach to the city and towards architecture is not the built space or the building of space in particular but rather the conception, the perception – the inhabiting of it. Within our approach with a focus on public or semi public space - we work at the intersection of architecture, city planning, art and urban intervention. In our work we address the city and urban renewal as a process connected to preferably all users of those spaces. For more event information: https://myumi.ch/egqGn

Urban regimes are not shaped just within the city, they are multidimensional. We often focus on federal influence, but states are strong actors too. States don’t just set the urban policy framework, they constantly shape local policies dynamically in many ways. This paper focuses on how Nashville’s Inclusionary Housing policy changed since it was first proposed and why it became what it did. One big takeaway from this study for me as someone working on implementation evaluation is to focus on the factors that contribute to a policy’s success or failure, not just evaluate the end result. Working on this paper also exposed me to some interesting ideas about how we define “mandatory” and “voluntary” inclusionary housing policies. Housing research often says “Inclusionary housing is not a silver bullet” ( no one policy is!). In Nashville’s case, I found it also may not be the best first arrow to launch. #statepreemption #inclusionaryhousing #Nashville

I'm excited to share an insightful blog post that explores the essential theories of Frederick Law Olmsted, a pioneering figure in landscape architecture. This piece delves into his innovative approaches and their lasting impact on urban planning and public spaces. Discover how Olmsted's vision continues to shape our environments today. For a deeper understanding of his contributions and philosophies, read the full article here: [Frederick Law Olmsted: His Essential Theory](https://ift.tt/jvIZtlL).

Local government, like the public buildings that house them, are the finest examples of civic virtue and responsibility. Throughout most of American history, government buildings in the US were designed from classical architecture. A style that symbolized the democratic ideals from the origins of democracy, Greece and Rome. Regardless of what happens tomorrow on the State and Federal level, remember the civic values that represent our local communities and be resilient. #localgovernment #cyberresilient #cyberresiliency _____________________________________________________________ Salem (VA) City Hall - Jeffersonian Revival built in 1912

Everyone deserves a home, and one they can afford. So appreciate the United States Conference of Mayors and The American Institute of Architects (AIA) elevating housing as a priority focus, and the chance to participate in this morning’s conversation to talk about the work and the challenges we’re facing in #SalemMA. https://lnkd.in/ejBpSDZ5
