The Brightmoor Office of Urban Fantasy project tests the capacity of architecture, landscape, and urban design to transform neighborhoods in economic scenarios where typical redevelopment seems unlikely. Focusing on the cultivation of human capital as well as the deconstructing the binary oppositions between newcomers and indigenous Detroiters, the research proposes methods to overcome the obstacles and predicaments associated with the infux of new populations into scenarios where locals have struggle for an extended span to make ends meet. Taking the form of a series of experimental and agonistic public spaces and culturally driven programs, the project speculates on ways that designers might moderate between broad ranges of stakeholders to create a pluralistic, evolving and inclusive urban scenario.

Design Philosophy

sy Detroit has been defined through series of binary oppositions for a long time. We understand Detroit has a complex relationship

between its interior core and outline neighborhoods, the boundary condition is both material and imaginary. We understand that racial issue has always been at the forefront of Detroit culture identity. We understand different people have different definitions to define themselves as indigeous. We also understand Detroiters love their city, but they always place themselves as an opposite place to everybody. These binary oppositions are very real and existed. The binary opposition Foucault calls out, that it helps to define two different things. However, a place that has such clear and distinct binary oppositions, is difficult to accept changes and differences.

BRIGHTMOOR NEIGHBORHOOD

There is a lot of transformations currently happening in Detroit, through the influx of capital. I would like to test transform the urbanity through the influx of human capital, by inviting people might not have many resources, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to change the way we consider our city. That leads me to look for a neighborhood that could stand in for a generic condition to prototype series of steps in the environment. There are certain parts of Detroit are completely left out. Brightmoor Neighborhood was selected to test.

Site History It is a long standing Detroit community. People living there are all pride of where they are. No one wants to move, no one wants to leave, while no one wants to pay for the infrastructure. The Detroit Future City has decided it is the innovation production zone, which is basically for the farming and agriculture. The project is making the case, that the neighborhood could really benefit, from the small infux of people that would transform the disperse urbanism into the potentially neo-rural urban village. How design can mediate between neighbors and newcomers? What can we do, and in what order?

Current Situation

Right now on the site, there are only trees, and few people, little capital has been invested for this neighborhood. Although we know there are some organizations or individuales doing some fantastic things for the neighborhood. However, there is no clear relationship between them. Therefore, how should we start?

Phase I

To answer the social and political questions in this scenario, by assembling the vacant lots together, the project start to introduce an embassy into the neighborhood. Embassy is the a functioning space, where many things can happening. It intervenes the public stage, and help to organize multiple events, mobilize many local actors, and contribute to create the conditions for new negotiations, and lead to the change of the image of activities of the neighborhoods. The project creates vernacular composition, to shows something novel happening here in the site.

Phase II

For the Phase II, the project suggests Neighbors Building Brightmoor to help operate the programs of embassy. Neighbors Buildingn Brightmoor is an organization do everything with neighborhoods. They also need some more gathering spaces for operate their monthly meeting. Also, in Phase II, the project start to create permaculture zone. The project would ask professor Joe Trumpey to instruct the farming. He is a professor who is interested in combine the design and food system.

Phase III

For the Phase III, the project starts to introduce kiosks to the site. Brightmoor Artisans Collective could would need some kiosks to operate their farmers market. Also, the project would invite Sidewalk Detroit to operate the art zone. Sidewalk Detroit is a grass-roots, community arts, presenting organization, through presentation of original place-based and traditional performance installation art and land art.

Phase IV

After the project done with embassy, the whole thing will be growing up. In the Phase IV, the project will introudce a community kitchen and silo into the site. The project would encourage Brightmoor Artisans Collective to operate them. Brightmoor Artisans Collective is an organization empowering local farmers, artisans, and neighbors. Besides serving foor, the community kitchen will expand the engagement through performances, publications, and discussions. Also, the project will introduce the green house to expand the farming area. Temporary housing will be provided for people who will work on this project on the site.

Phase V

Last but not least, in the Phase V, the project introduce a Media House to the site. Jonathan Pommerville is a right person to operate it. He is the unofficial mayor of the Brightmoor Neighborhood. He is a camera crusader of the neighborhood. He uses camera to document the activities which harmful for the neighborhood. Media House is not only a entrance for the neighborhood to show their charateristics, but also a place for the newcomers to introduce themselves to the public. 15

MAKE Chicago is a mixed-use development that serves as the junction of a local “creation” economy along the North Branch of the Chicago River. Founded on the themes of Manufacturing, Art, Kinship and Ecology, this strategy connects the site to its surrounding natural assets, convenes entrepreneurs, artists, and community members, and creates an economic node where resources are shared, ideas are generated, and local goods are sold. It is a unique development that delivers triple bottom line returns to Windy Crew Investors (WCI), the City of Chicago, and communities surrounding the North Branch of the Chicago River. Over the course of the ten-year investment period, this transformational project is expected to generate an 8% unleveraged IRR and 12% leveraged IRR. However, by fostering a local “creation” economy, rather than a traditional retail-office-residential development, MAKE Chicago will generate value for its entire region for decades to come.

Hangyang area, Hangzhou, P.R.China Academic, independent work May.2013 Zhou Jun, Wang Jianyun

A city of the future has to be environmentally friendly. Every time we see a concrete jungle, what I got to do is to find some open spaces. I would like to go inside these open spaces and make it that people can get inside and can use those spaces. An environment friendly city should provide citizens enough places to meet and put nature. Thereby, every time i think of city, I have got to think green, green and green. This area provide us a great city fragment, like the old factory, rails, canals, etc. How to connect these fragments and try best to input as many green spaces as I can is the main problem I try to figure out in this project. To make this area attractive and environment friendly.

1.WHAT ARE WE DEALING WITH? 2.WHAT PROBLEMS WE ARE FACING? 3.WHAT ARE WE GOING TO SOLVE THESE?

Due to the improvement and the limitations from the terrain, the ancient Hangzhou, expanding toward the north and east. Meanwhile, together with replacement from secondary industry to the tertiary industry, numerous factories moved away from the urban area.Thereby, Hangzhou has many undeveloped land and historic relics.

Hangzhou owns eight districts. Among them, Shang and Xiadistricts are the origins of Hangzhou and they both have the most large rates of population density. Due to the construction of new transportation hubs,and the increasingly complete traffic system, Gongshu has a splendid attracion from the citizens and visitors.

Based on the analysis from GIS, we can get familiar with the integration of the transportation system in Hangzhou. the central city owns the most convenient traffic with high accessibility. Moreover, the reachability in Gongshu also has a obvious advantages, which means the development in Gongshu should be considered seriously day by day.

In 2010, the government officially decided to start the construction of slowtraffic system, which refers to the special park along the canal system (identified as the world cultural heritage in 2014). This excavation site is in the joint of city and it requires a protective cover and a sightseeing plan form and also should inspire the connection and the development of nearby functions.

Considerations

Ploblems

Based on the reources of the West Lake and the culture from ancient China, Hangzhou has became a tourist city in the world. The site is near to two important transportation habs in Hangzhou, the East railway station and Jiubao Bus station. It can be created as the gateway landscape with the urban image characteristics.

Sightseeing

The site owns the advantages of transportation, because it near the Desheng fast speed road and with an entrance in the site.

Transportation

The factories in the north moved away which leaved numerous relics in the city which can be constructed as the park or cultural areas.

Protection

The relics of Genshan railway station is near the site which provide the transportation culture and rails for the site. Genshan station was the most important transportation hub in the past days.

Environment

This area owns a high residential density. However, it also owns the highest numbers of favelas in Hangzhou. How to reorganize the spatial structure and inner functions to satisfy the requirement of nearby? There are amount of undeveloped land in the site. How to plan it based on the requirement from the people and diversify their life? It located in the pivotal point of canal. How to intergrate the slow-traffic system and become an important attraction along the canal? 30

Based on the sources of factories and rails, they can be used as materials to create the exhibition or other cultural activities which will not only protect the memories of old time but will also inherit the tradition. The design should be requirement-oriented. Requires from olders, students, children, workers, visitors should all be considered based on the analysis for the coorelated areas. Fixing the canal system within the site and create diverse spaces to make it become a pivotal joint of the whole canal system.

Environmentally Go inside the open places and make it that people can get inside and can use these spaces. An environmental place is comfortable for people to meet and put nature.

Three types of business and commercial yard. Closed yard

People can get to the yard only by go through the building. It is a great way to build a secret space for company and also contribute to the great working environment.

Open yard People can get to the yard from outside road. The yard become the public place which will provide citizens a place to entertain and serve the workers who work in the surrounding buildings.

Semi-open yard

People can get to part of a yard casually but cannot get to the whole spaces of the yard. By this way, some company can have their own privacy and it is a perfect way to share a single yard by different requirements of business.

Open Yard

Take a lake as the central of yard, workers and visitors can take a break and drink some coffee all around the water. Moreover, children can also have fun with the zigzag paths and greenery.

Semi-open Yard

Use the corridor as the partition to create the different styles yard, the open one and the closed one. By this way, according to the special requirement, we can protect the privacy of the left one and they can hold a meeting or party in the outside but without disturb. Meanwhile, we provide visitors a open space in the right which connect land and air corridor to integrate the vertical space system.

Open Yard

By using the air corridor, visitors can easily shuttle from different buildings and can also take a break or have a chat on the rest board or box on the air corridor. Meanwhile, the big steps together with the bench constitute to the city square, it can used to take presentation, sing a song, etc. People can sit on the board or they can enjoy the funny among the ups and downs of the steps.

Closed Yard

Some companies require a quiet environment to work and they also need some privacy to do some activities. A closed yard will provide them a isolated place to communicate, to discuss, to take a break and to hold some activities.

Aim of environmental design

Constituting to an ideal city, it must be environmentally. By create spaces environmentally, the number of potential users will be increased and they will be provided a more friendly and comfortable place to live and use. More importantly, because of the increasing visitors, the motivations of these area will be maintained. Everyone who visit this area will have various activities and enjoy the interesting spaces the environment provided.

A city of the future has to be socially integrated. Together with the urbanization, the number of forgotten and decaying spaces is increasing. In many situations, it may cover historical culture and destroy the looking of a city. Thereby, it is pivotal for us to go into these areas and find the origins, reorganize the functions, open the spaces, bring a new life for these places. This place is in the old city and it owns various culture and history. However, the disordered houses and inadequate functions decrease the attractions. Therefore, what we need to do is to discover the origin texture and history and weave them into the planning and design.

Location and History Origin Xiashi Town grew from the disordered houses from the intersection of three rivers. Development Together with the expansion of Xiashi Town, the number of person were increasing rapidly. It had became the pivotal of Haining and the government was located there.

Thereby, the native residents, who are living in this sample area, should be provided with more comprehensive services in the future to get the integrated social work.

The west site of the sample area is beside to the largest shopping mall in Haining and the road is a main road of the city. The west site has accumulated higher popularity.

The monument of Xu Zhimo is the attraction of the area.However, the circumstances of the rest spaces in this sample area are not enough to invite people to come in.

Most people come into the area from 2 entrances and they both rely on the prosperous in Ganhe Street, which has large wide types of goods with long history.

The east site of the sample area is beside the Hedong River. But because of the blocked structures and the broken texture, the other part of areas have a bad environment.

By using Envision Tomorrow, and based on the philosophy of scenario planning, the team has been tasked with implementing both Ann Arbor's Neighborhood Affordable Housing Plan and its own Neighborhood Climate Adaptation Plan. Its attention over the past several decades has been dedicated to: • Understanding and responding to the neighborhood’s needs; • Preserving the neighborhood character and environment; • Implementing and funding regional plans at the neighborhood scale and providing a voice for the neighborhood at the city and county levels; • Providing more income-diverse housing options for the neighborhood (especially through the use of ADUs), • Developing a regional trail/park system that generates new low to middle income jobs for residents and revenue from natural areas; and • Ensuring the neighborhood is adapting to climate change.

expected, many of the suitable and very suitable areas are actually quite close to the river. Much of Ann Arbor and the areas currently developed are actually in the average suitability category. The Sharing Scenario that the class has developed relies on greater environmental stewardship from the community so opting to weight the environmental factors over the attractiveness factors seemed appropriate. In the Sharing Scenario future the environmental factors might even carry a greater weight than is shown here, which would decrease, more, the amount of land considered suitable or very suitable for devleopment.

considered suitable or very suitable are too scattered and many are surrounded by unsuitable areas. It is encouraging to see that even when weighting the environmental criteria there are still a few large swaths of land that fall into the average category. Depending on minimum development criteria set by Ann Arbor or even the developer, the areas of average suitability might not be eligible for development. For the purposes of this project, I would situate the residential development in the southwest corner of the project site.

Environmental Criteria: slope, floodplain This scenario will focus on a tract of undeveloped land about four miles northarea, ofwetlands downtown Ann Arbor. We Using the above criteria and weighting the environmental criteria at the end there are not many areas that Using the above criteria and weighting the environmental criteria in at the end there are very few large areas will proceed with the following assumptions about prevailing social and political attitudes Ann Arbor: would be considered suitable for medium density residental development. Counter to what might be that would be suitable for medium density residental development in our site area. The areas that are

These measures include, but are Data Sources: City of Ann Arbor Data Catalog and Michigan Geographic Data Library not limited to, updating storm water management standards, natural hazards preparedness, building Data Sources: City of Ann Arbor Data Catalog and Michigan Geographic Data Library construction standards, and improving transit options in order to limit pollution. â&#x20AC;˘ Pro-development. People in Ann Arbor are open to new buildings for commercial, residential, and industrial purposes. They will accept some level of increased density in and around the downtown to support the new development. â&#x20AC;˘ Pro-affordable housing. People in Ann Arbor are interested in seeing a larger number of housing units overall and specifically smaller units with a single-family housing character, to ensure both rental and owner-occupied housing is affordable, both as federally defined and anecdotally in order to ensure a diversity of residents in Ann Arbor.

Ann Arbor will become more costly and less affordable due to increased livability and quality of life, improved public schools, and a sustained housing demand. There are about 160 parks and recreation sites 90 registered residential or commercial association in the city 12 new housing developments to be expected in 2015 in and around downtown Ann Arbor.

Development Types Name: Xuewei Chen ID: 67720142 UP529 Lab5 – Development Types Feb 25, 2016 Overview Although there are many people shift to the housing preferences toward a more communal, mixed-use, and conservational preference, there still exist some people who prefer to live in more private homes. The site is at the north edge of the University of Michigan, and there are still many professors prefer to live near the university. Therefore, this residentially-focused, mix-used development caters both sociallyoriented communal residents as well as the traditionalists. To reconsider the streetscapes, the sidewalks, and pathways, I try to set a new preference to limit the accessible of vehicle, and reorganize the sidewalk systems to encourage more people to walk and ride to the destination. This is also catering the part of the goal as garden apartment here. Furthermore, the localized, mixed-use development is common enough in the new social society that even the rare townhome or single family home is close enough to a mixed-use development to making driving almost irrelevant. These preference is not only help people to live in a more health way, but will also decrease the problem of urban heat, relieve stressed municipal road budgets, and free spaces for other uses. Data and Assumptions

Physical Indicator

Justification

Site Input

Large landscaped area at the front of the building coincides with the social priorities of constantly connecting with community; Setbacks reflect lack of zoning code in a less traditionally organized political environment

FAR and Density Checks

Unrestricted to reflect lack of zoning ordinance

Building Uses

Main priority is residential; Lesser priority is retail, office, and public space because people are more comfortable with denser living and tightly shared spaces

Residential Unit Size

Parking Requirements

Parking Layout

Project Info

Efficiency apartments without in-unit bathrooms or kitchens have become the norm in the new social environment; No difference between “affordable” units and “regular” units because all are interested in living equitably as compared to their neighbors Fewer residents use cars because of their environmental impacts, and fewer residents see the need to transport individually because of the communal focus; Very few cars are desired as compared to the past; Residents carpool or use transit because it allows them to better connect with each other at all times

Rent of $900.00 is within the range considered affordable for Ann Arbor.

Rent and Sales

There are no sales in this building because the residential unit market has become primarily rental-based

Parking cost per space

Parking cost is zero; So few residents desire cars that the spaces do not need to be restricted by economic means

Not researched Traditional Maximum

Because of the minimal reliance on driving, residents do not see roads (the traditional delimiter for blocks) as vitally important; Residents are able to traverse land parcels without being limited to roadways, and so block lengths no longer indicate a solid measure of accessibility. Traditional The traditional minimum of a two lane, 22foot Minimum roadway is used because of the low reliance on automobiles. User-defined Wide sidewalks (12 feet) and bicycle lanes (6 feet) represent a communitywide shift away from automobiles Calculated value The shift away from motorized street reliance has resulted in less emphasis on the streetscape; developers generally landscape on their own in order to reduce the easement required by municipal governments. The only land reductions come from the built street itself. User-defined The garden apartment could be a part of method to encourage the preferences. To select part of the site to build the garden apartment, and the potential residences could be the students studying in the University of Michigan. The great environment could provide them a better place to live and to study. User-defined This relatively small residential development benefits heavily from services provided to the adjacent high rise Communal residential development. By construct the part of the site as townhouses, the site could have more spaces to construct the more comfortable and beautiful environment. User-defined This communal residential development is popular because of the shift to living individually in small spaces as part of a larger community. Though it is primarily residential, this mixed use development provides even the adjacent townhomes with enough commercial opportunities for work, shopping, and entertainment. And all these functions will help the residents here to live in a more convenient way. The residential focus of this development reflects varying societal preferences for living conditions (though the wide preference by far is communal living). I prefer to build a preference to limit the accessible of vehicle, and to construct a healthier environment. This development caters to the garden apartment, private townhomes, and the more common social commune resident. It is still allowing the economic engagement through an overarching mixed use focus, but prefer to provide a healthier and peaceful spaces to live.

The development layout was determined based on existing transportation infrastructure. Based on the existing infrastructure, new streets were added to increase connectivity and create new corridors for dense development. The individual development types were placed along these new corridors as well as the existing throroughfares. The more dense development types were place at intersections and along the proposed new corridors. The dense development at intersections should help create new activity nodes throughout the development site.

By lweighing all of the point layers and polyline layers, the research aimed to using GIS to help evaluate the most suitable villages in Fenghua, Ningbo. Because of lack of data, the research should create its own database for the city. Using Google Earth to create the coordinate for each village, and based on GIS to create the data base for each of them. The conclusion of this research was only used as the foundation of the future decision making. More other information would be considered in the final evaluation.

This project aimed to represent and compare the predominate race and it changes from 1970 to 2010 in metropolitan cities in the United States. Many cities define themselves as segregated cities, while many cities are also extremly diverse. It is all too common to live in a city with a wide variety of ethnic and racial groups, yet remain isolated from those groups in a racially homogenous neighborhood. This series of maps not only could be used for representing the story of segregation for each city, but also useful for understanding many social issues existed in those cities.

Detroit, MI Academy, Capstone Project 2017 Margaret Dewar, Libby Levy Leah Gerber, Cassie Hackel, Yu-Wei Hsu, Allison Kappeyne van de Coppello, Taylor LaFave, Rosie Pahl Donaldson, Grant Priester, Ziyang Shu, Shien-Min Teo, Roman Yanke

This plan supports the development of the Lower Eastside Action Plan (LEAP) Phase III. LEAP is a community-driven plan, created by Warren/Conner Development Coalition, now Eastside Community Network (ECN), that focuses on repurposing vacant land and improving quality of life in the LEAP area. Since LEAP Phases I and II were released in 2012, needs and conditions have evolved and the plan requires an update to reflect these changes. Based on the principles of rely on resident voices, and improve quality of life, I particularly worked on the projects and policies to prevent tax foreclosure on neighborhood level.

The Chandler Park neighborhood possesses many characteristics of a strong residential neighborhood but faces some challenges related to vacancy and population loss. Lack of financial resources is an obstacle for many Chandler Park residents. According to the 2011-2015 5-year American Community Survey estimate, per capita income in the neighborhood was $11,813, 21% lower than the citywide per capita income of $15,038. 27% of residential structures in Chandler Park went through mortgage foreclosure between 2005 and 2013. 49% of housing units in Chandler Park were owner-occupied, according to the 2011-2015 ACS 5-year estimate. This is on par with the citywide rate of 48% and higher than the LEAP area rate of 40%, but a decrease from 51% in 2000, likely due to mortgage foreclosures and the recession. As of March 2017, 600 of 933 structures in Chandler Park (64%) were in good condition, and 246 were in fair condition (26%). Owner-occupied structures were more likely than renter-occupied structures to be in good condition. Though many structures in Chandler Park are well-maintained, tax foreclosure is a threat to the neighborhood and its housing stock. As of April 2017, 118 properties in Chandler Park had been foreclosed for nonpayment of taxes, or were about to be.9 ECN has notified residents about foreclosure prevention measures. The number of vacant lots in Chandler Park is increasing due to demolitions. These lots offer a chance to reimagine and strengthen the neighborhood with uses that will benefit residents. In March 2017, there were 411 vacant lots in Chandler Park. Assets in and around the Chandler Park neighborhood include churches, day care centers, an elementary-middle school, a public library, and 2 major commercial streets. Chandler Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreational facilities have a regional draw, and have been bolstered by recent investments including a newly installed football field and tennis courts. The park also offers a multi-purpose sports field and opportunities for organized recreation.

In late 2015, 499 properties in the Chandler Park neighborhood were at risk of foreclosure for failure to pay property taxes. Of those that went into tax foreclosure, 24 were sold and 42 were unsold. The unsold properties were transferred to the DLBA. As of April 2017, 118 properties had been foreclosed, or were about to be. These properties will be offered at auction in fall 2017 unless the owners arrange payments. Of those 118 properties, 59 were renter-occupied structures, 46 were owneroccupied, 4 were commercial properties, and 9 were vacant lots. Of the structures, 56 of the rental properties and 42 of the owneroccupied properties appeared to have people living in them in March 2017.

Offer Workshops and Counseling on Lowering Future Tax Bills ECN can partner with United Community Housing Coalition (UCHC) to help residents reduce property tax burden through workshops and counseling sessions. Several policies assist lowincome homeowners with their property taxes, including: • Poverty Exemption: If a property owner meets the federal poverty level, he/she is exempt from paying property taxes. • Principal Residence Exemption: A principal residence is exempt from the tax levied by a local school district for up to 18 mills.

ECN and partners can therefore take actions to reduce the number of property owners facing foreclosures and reduce their future tax burdens.

• Disabled Veteran’s Exemption: A disabled veteran, who has been determined as totally disabled and receives pecuniary ssistance or is individually unemployable, is exempt from all property taxes.

Strategies

• Homestead Property Tax Credit: Citizens older than 65, paraplegic, hemiplegic and quadriplegic persons, the permanently disabled who are not over age 65, and eligible veterans can receive property tax credits.

Create a Neighborhood Home Resource Center Several agencies provide outreach to residents aimed at preventing tax foreclosure. The Wayne County Treasurer publishes the tax foreclosure timeline and provides a list of properties at risk of foreclosure. ECN staff have canvassed to publicize tax foreclosure prevention workshops offered by UCHC. However, there is no single place in Chandler Park that provides comprehensive information about property taxes or tax foreclosure prevention. A resource center could provide such services combined with information and resources related to home repair. Partner with United Community Housing Coalition (UCHC) on Homeowner Workshops or Counseling Sessions Many homeowners may not have correct documentation to indicate ownership. Workshops and counseling sessions could address these topics: • Probate issues: 1. Clear titles require clear transfers of property ownership from a decedent. Residents may inherit a property, but the estate will have to go through probate in the absence of a will. • Proper documentation indicating owner occupancy: 1. Ensure property owners have proper documentation stating ownership status, i.e. a legal title for the home in their name; 2. Clarify the process of property purchase or transfer, i.e. a land contract does transfer ownership, but the buyer must also file a Property Transfer Affidavit to notify the local assessing office.

Policy Recommendation Advocate for Retroactive Poverty Exemption Retroactive poverty exemption would allow for property owners who meet poverty standards to be reimbursed for previous years’ property taxes. ECN could pursue this policy together with the City and other policy-focused organizations. For example, ECN could work with CDAD’s policy committees and UCHC to propose that the Department of Neighborhoods advocate with the mayor to lobby the legislature for the passage of retroactive poverty exemption. Case Study: Learning from Retroactive Property Tax Exemption in other States Property tax exemptions are available to senior citizens and the disabled in the State of Washington. If property owners meet the requirements of age, disability, and/or income, but did not receive exemptions previously, they “may be able to get the exemption 3 years retroactively…[and] a refund of taxes they already paid out.” Retroactive exemptions also exist in California. The disabled veterans’ exemption can be retroactively granted when “the exemption would have been available but for the taxpayer’s failure to receive a timely disability rating from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (USDVA).” 69
