National Science Foundation Urban Research

• Understanding Urban Interactions: Summary of a Research Workshop "Urban areas—home to three-fourths of U.S. citizens—are undergoing major social, economic, and environmental transitions as their structures and functions change. The roles of basic urban infrastructure, such as telecommunications and transportation, are shifting. Human and natural environments are deteriorating in some places and improving in others. Demographic changes are challenging urban governance in many places but renewing others. The complexity and pace of these developments, positive and negative, has outrun researchers’ ability to understand them."
• THE DYNAMICS OF CHANGE IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS URBAN RESEARCH INITIATIVE: NSF INITIATIVE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FY 1998 "Fundamental questions concerning the urban environment and its functions require interdisciplinary research into holistic interactions among the built, human and natural environments. Analysis of urban environments is growing increasingly complex with expansion in urban and suburban areas, greater expectations for infrastructure service and delivery, and increasing diversity of cultures and environments." [...]
  "Advances in information technology have improved our ability to acquire, analyze, and disseminate data from an expanding array of disciplines; educational interventions and investments make it possible to translate research and theory into the teaching and learning contexts of urban classrooms, and to evaluate factors which contribute to strong educational systems; partnerships within education systems are now prominent and present models for reforming extant education environments; and, new scientific methods and techniques are available for developing better models of our complex urban environments."

Clippings:

• Flight to the suburbs left scars on America ; Seattle Times, May 10, 1999 by Marc Ramirez Do you remember the old days? The days when cities like Detroit and Cleveland and Philadelphia were bustling, when we all shared the same dreams, when all of us were in it together?
• Bigger Seattle buildings might help preserve rural areas; Seattle Times, Tuesday, November 17, 1998, by Kery Murakami Seattle would allow developers to build higher than city zoning allows between Denny Way and downtown if they pay tens of thousands of dollars to rural landowners to not develop their farm and forest lands. Rural landowners would still own their land but would agree to keep it pristine forever, said Sims' policy director, Ethan Raup. "This new partnership between King County and Seattle would help us accomplish two critical regional goals at once: preserve our rural forest lands and focus new housing in urban areas," Sims said.
