Urbanize Detroit’s Post

Since we are in the mood of building stadiums and it seems it will happen no matter what we say, I am always going to advocate for resources on Chicago's far south side (Believe me, I am not advocating for stadiums when we have so many other priorities). There has never been a stadium built south of 95th Street unless the historians tell me otherwise. Let's spread the wealth of the Illinois Sports Facility Authority's (ISFA) bonds that are backed by the 2% hotel tax to Chicago's far south side. Wrigleyville is on Chicago's far north side and the rest of the stadiums are north of 35th Street (soon only north of 18th Street). Would be nice if the hotel tax could be used for Chicago State University Multi-Purpose Football Stadium. A decent example would be the New York City Football Club (NYCFC) and Queens Development Group (QDG) project, which consist of a 25,000 seat stadium with 2,500 affordable housing units, 250-room hotel, and 1-acre park space. Now, there is a casino so I am not advocating for a casino on campus, but I like the model. This project is expected to generate $6.1 billion in economic impact, 1,550 permanent jobs, 14,000 construction jobs, and proposes 100% affordable housing. Jerry Reinsdorf has stadiums that has received hundreds of millions of taxpayers' dollars as well as the Ricketts family, and quite honestly, these sports teams' records have been abysmal and yet they continue to get rich. These two families seem to have complete control over the ISFA bonds. Is there equity in stadium development and ownership? Is there equity in ISFA? Or is equity only in temporary small subcontracting construction positions, small business vendors, and hourly wages that can be discontinued at any moment.

A few interesting articles I have read over the past week that I would like to share. Enjoy. Spending on affordable housing in England to be slashed in 2024 - an article highlighting the clear impact of the current economic climate on HA's, it will be interesting how the next few years play out.

It would have been good to see this development in Stratford, especially if it could have been tied in with the sporting stadia already existing around Stratford.

Will be interesting to see how clubs incorporate this into stadia design. Link below: https://lnkd.in/eNCKGjxf On a separate note I have finished reading "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. Fantastic read. Fantastic book. Cannot recommend highly enough.

https://lnkd.in/eA3FkyGS Probably the first time planning policies have featured on the BBC Sport website? I think this decision from the GLA raises key reflections about the use of Metropolitan Open Land (the areas within London's urban area with the same status as Green Belt). The fact is that a private membership golf course is clearly not substantively the same as a public park, and clearly the GLA were swayed by the argument that the future scheme will generate a variety of public benefits including the creation of more public parkland that offset the negative impacts of the scheme. It does demonstrate that certain proposals on MOL can proceed if they can convince decisionmakers of the overall net benefits to the community and economy. The stronger arguments from the community focused on the environmental impacts, but I personally think it was misguided to spend so much time and effort talking about the disruption of the construction process. If that was a key planning consideration, almost nothing would ever get built.

The Royals ballpark in the Crossroads announcement has been controversial. However, it is starting to gain some support by local business owners, property owners, and long time Crossroads developers.

To build or sell? Navigating the pros and cons of part-built developments. So, you’ve got a part-built development on your hands. The question you’re probably wrestling with is: Should you complete the build or sell it as-is? It’s a dilemma that comes up often, especially given the surge in distressed, part-built properties we’re seeing today. Let’s break down the pros and cons of both options to help you decide what might be best for your situation. #auctionsales #propertyauctions #manchesterauctions #cheshireauctions #staffordshireauctions #ManchesterProperty #PropertyAuctions #ManchesterRealEstate #AuctionManchester #RealEstateAuction #ManchesterHomes #PropertyInvestment #ManchesterHousing #PropertyMarket #AuctionProperties #ManchesterEstate #PropertyBargains

https://lnkd.in/eKhA7cf6 I'm very interested in stadia and stadium architecture so It was interesting to read this article from the athletic about the costs of new stadiums. A good read.... #stadiums #stadia #stadiumdesign #buildingcosts

Cabinet papers have been released for the Reg 19 South Ox and Vale Local Plan - Agenda for Cabinet on Wednesday, 18 September 2024, 6.00 pm (https://lnkd.in/e-d3RNGp). A 6 week consultation is proposed to be held over October/November. Submission is then expected in December 2024. Interesting acceleration of their Local Plan timetable to try to get in ahead of the new NPPF + one month deadline, and therefore take advantage of draft paragraph 226c. Albeit given the shortfall they are planning for compared to the proposed new SM (see below), they would be expected to commence a new plan ‘at the earliest opportunity’. Policy HOU1 of the Joint Local Plan confirms the housing numbers to be delivered within each district during the plan period (1 April 2021 to 31 March 2041), which are: • South Oxfordshire housing requirement: 16,530 homes • Vale of White Horse housing requirement: 14,490 homes The above figures incorporate an Oxford City unmet need of 4,950 homes for South and 1,830 homes for Vale, as identified in Oxford City Council’s Local Plan 2036. No further homes are included in the requirement to accommodate any newly identified unmet need from Oxford City, which is currently unconfirmed and in the process of being examined for soundness as part of the Oxford City’s Local Plan 2040. The housing requirements are proposed to decrease over the plan period, dropping to the current SM figure for both authorities. In contrast the proposed revised standard method which would see a housing requirement of 1,179 per annum for South Ox and 937 for the Vale.
