REVITALIZING MINORITY COMMERCIAL AREAS THROUGH COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGNATION: A Case Study of Atlanta,Georgia

ABSTRACT: Historic preservation is one way cities can stimulate the economies of lagging or distressed areas. Owners of commercial properties in historic districts enjoy federal and local tax incentives, grants, and loans, as well as protection of external facades in the district. If historic district designation is associated with price effects, there should be a significant price differential between commercial properties in designated and nondesignated areas. This paper reviews the extent to which designation makes a difference in revitalizing commercial investment in a minority commercial district in Atlanta, Georgia. Compared to a nondesignated commercial area, historic district designation appears to be effective in revitalizing commercial properties in terms of improving property values and, by inference, commercial activity.     

Historic preservation’s impact on job creation,property values,and environmental sustainability

This study examines the impacts of historic preservation on jobs, property values, and environmentalism in Kentucky and its largest city, Louisville. Kentucky is a national leader in preservation, ranking first in the White House’s Preserve America initiative with 73 recognized communities. Kentucky is an ideal place to study historic preservation and environmentalism. Tax incentive programs have been an effective tool for creating positive changes in historic areas. Historic preservation results in more job creation than most other public investments. In the presence of escalating gas prices and assorted environmental practices, it is shown how neighborhoods containing historic districts have higher increases in median neighborhood housing values than undesignated neighborhoods. This paper also demonstrates the link between environmentalism and historic preservation. Residents of historic urban neighborhoods exhibit more environmentally friendly behavior.     

历史街区保护的外部经济性及其内部化探讨

外部经济性的发挥是历史街区保护的主要目的之一,而外部经济性的发挥又是以历史街区得到较好的保护为前提的。对历史街区外部经济性内部化的忽略降低了街区保护活动的经济效率,影响了保护的积极性,制约了保护水平的提高,阻碍了外部经济性的发挥。文章以外部性理论为基础,提出历史街区外部经济性内部化的方法,以期提高历史街区的保护水平,促进街区外部经济性的发挥。     

居住性历史街区保护更新的规划探索——以郑州书院街为例

居住性历史街区作为我国文化遗产的重要类型,是城市特色的集中体现,同时也是承栽市民日常生活的有机生命体,其保护更新涉及诸多利益关系,是一项复杂的社会实践,应坚持原真性、积极性、多元性等原则,进行“整体保护”与“有机更新”。该文以郑州书院街历史街区为例,通过完善步行系统、鼓励混合使用、培育街区触媒点等规划策略对历史环境和社会功能进行保护与更新;同时完善政府公共职能、明晰产权关系、推动社区建筑、完善住房保障制度等相关制度层面,以保障规划的顺利实施。     

Measuring Urban Design: Metrics for Livable Places,by Reid Ewing and Otto Clemente

In this article I examine the relationship between post-industrial growth and planning in three great cities: New York, Paris, and London. Each has taken a different approach to its post-industrial transformation. New York's approach, the Manhattan strategy of intensive development, emphasizes growth in and around the central business district. The Parisian approach, the axes strategy of extensive development, spreads growth through the larger region. London's approach, containment by zoning, stresses a balance between commercial growth and the preservation of neighborhoods and green space. I analyze each strategy as a product of a city's governmental structure, its control over local markets, and its developmental conditions. Each strategy reflects the historic practices of its respective city and entails its own costs and benefits.

谈历史文化名城传统住区发展的贵族化

近年来,我国历史文化名城传统住区中出现了"贵族化"的现象,它是宏观政治、经济、社会、资源禀赋及被改造地区的固有条件等多方面因素共同作用的结果.在目前对传统住区尚无更好的保护方法的情况下,让传统住区"贵族化"可作为一种权宜之计,不过应公平对待原住居民,保障他们的应得利益.

Tourism Planning in Historic Districts: Attitudes Toward Tourism Development in Charleston

In the last 30 years, community perceptions of negative impacts from tourism have encouraged research from several different fields into community attitudes, with the goal of overcoming opposition to tourism development. Drawing on a study of Charleston, SC, this article explores the relationships between community attachment, existing through such bonds as friendship and kinship, and resident attitudes toward tourism development. We studied Charleston to understand the differences in attitude toward tourism development among its neighborhoods, based on community attachment variables, and to explore the role of community attachment in predicting these attitudes, especially regarding residents of historic residential districts. This research has implications for tourism planning in Charleston and other tourism cities with historic residential districts.

IS THE ST. LOUIS REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FISCALLY BENEFICIAL?

ABSTRACT: St. Louis is one of many U.S. cities suffering from urban decay and fiscal crisis. To resolve these problems, the city has adopted a redevelopment program under Missouri State Statute 353. This Chapter 353 program grants private developers 25 years of tax abatement for making property improvements and permits them to accumulate property through the exercise of eminent domain. The program includes the city's entire central business district and has been extended to cover residential areas. This article discusses the research study on which this Chapter 353 program was based, points out a number of serious problems, and concludes that the program may, in fact, further reduce the city's fiscal integrity.

Property values on the plains: the impact of historic preservation

We provide an estimate of the impact of historic designation on the sale price of single-family homes in Lincoln, Nebraska neighborhoods. We contribute to the literature by measuring the impact of historic designation using sale prices rather than assessed values, and by utilizing time series, cross-section data with both pre-designation and post-designation observations. The entire sample is used to estimate a difference-in-difference model which shows that historic designation yields a $5,000 increase in the value of single-family homes in the period after designation. A sub-sample of houses with repeat sales is used to estimate a repeat sales model, which shows that designation does not impact appreciation rates.

中国住宅空调的未来发展

以上海住宅建设和家用空调的发展为例，分析了住宅空调对能源和环境的影响。指出今后在中国大城市中，应以发展区域集中供冷供热，冷热电联产为主；而在中小城市或城市郊区，应以发展所谓“户式空调”为主；在单身公寓或合租公寓中，则应以使用房间空调器为主。以利于合理使用能源，减少温室气体排放和促进房地产业的可持续发展。
