Urbanity Down Under

Dateline: 4:42 pm 11/15/2008 Filed under:
I was captivated by a lecture given last year by Jan Gehl, a noted architect and urbanist whose firm, Gehl Architects, is based in Copenhagen. I did a little research on his work in Melbourne, Australia. The result of that research appeared in the October issue of Urban Land magazine. Read Melbourne Reborn here. The city has rejeuvenated its center over the past 25 years with a combination of planning and incentives. What I like most about the process is the surveys the city has conducted every ten years to track changes to the quality and livibility of the urban environment, such as pedestrian counts, number of sidewalk cafes, new housing, parks and open space, etc. That research was completed by Gehl's firm. The real story is the dramatic change that has occurred since the early 1980s. The article tells it well, but more photographs will help. The city provided dozens of images, only a few of which were published. The remainder can be seen using a link to Picasaweb here. Also mentioned in the article is a notable green building, called CH2, an office tower for city staff, opened in 2006. It has a six-star rating by the Australian Green Building Council, which is equivalent to LEED Platinum in the United States. Among its green features are photovoltaic cells, gas-fired cogeneration, and a variety of heating and cooling methods, including a "shower tower," which uses evaporative cooling to reduce energy costs. See some photos and diagrams of green components here. There are lots of lessons to learn from Melbourne. Improvements to the public realm such as improved streetscapes, bike lanes and parks have made Melbourne much more livable, walkable and bikeable. I have not visited but intend to some day. I will, of course, walk or ride my bicycle to get there....

Joe the Urbanist

Dateline: 10:12 am 11/3/2008 Filed under:
With all this talk of "Joe the Plumber" in this election campaign, I must add my two cents from "Joe the Urbanist." Regardless of who wins tomorrow, the real campaign begins early in 2009 when congress convenes and the new president takes office. The next president and congress must have an urban agenda. We urban professionals have a major role to play in informing this agenda. One important source of research for future urban policy decisions is the Blueprint for American Prosperity at the Brookings Institution. I had the pleasure of interviewing Bruce Katz, vice-president of policy and founding director of the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings, during the Summit for American Prosperity this past June. The interview appears in the October issue of Urban Land magazine, but you can read Q & A With Bruce Katz here. Another place to look is T4America, an advocacy group calling for an enlightened transportation reauthorization bill in 2009. It is critical that transportation investments be linked to sustainable urban communities. It is important that we continue to promote strong, educated and mobile metropolitan regions in this country. After all, metro areas are where most of us live and where a majority of our economic power is generated. Even though the election will be over tomorrow, the real urban work has only just begun. Keep updated with the policy work and research of the Brookings Institution, and join the T4America cause today. And stay involved at the local level, too. Sure, the world needs plumbers, but even more than that, right now it needs urbanists.
