Cities house over half the world's population and drive more than 80% of global GDP—but many struggle to finance the infrastructure needed for sustainable growth. In this episode of IFC Audio Stories, we explore how IFC helps cities unlock capital through subnational financing. From identifying bankable projects to deploying loans, IFC experts share insights into how municipalities can build inclusive and resilient futures.
This book is intended to be about the war waged by New York Community activists who created healthy urban growth. It is not about Trump. His hope is that communities around the country can learn from his experience and work to plan healthy, vibrant, sustainable communities – one building, one street, town, and city at a time.”Turf War goes beyond the national headlines to reveal the strategies, personalities, politics, and economics that led to a redefined proposal. Television City would have occupied the largest piece of privately owned undeveloped land in Manhattan, the abandoned Penn Central Railyard.This book encourages developers to Design alternative plans that promote healthy, safe, and sustainable places. https://www.amazon.com/Turf-War-Activists-Donald-Masterpiece/dp/1665763531http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Are you interested in urban ecosystem services? Summary of the article titled How ecosystem services drive urban growth: Integrating nature-based solutions from 2021 by Haozhi Pan, Jessica Page, Cong Cong, Stephan Barthel, and Zahra Kalantari, published in the Anthropocene journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Hudson Worsley in episode 280 talking about ecosystem services for urban futures. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how ecosystem services are influencing urban growth. This article highlights the connection between human decisions, ecosystem services, and land cover changes in urban areas. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: Place-specific strategies are crucial for managing urban expansion while maintaining ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are a major driver of urban growth, especially in areas with high accessibility to nature. Urban planners must use nature-based solutions to balance development and ecosystem preservation. You can find the article through this link. Abstract: Addressing urban challenges with nature-based approaches can improve and protect ecosystem services. Yet, urban planning has not efficiently integrated such approaches to manage land use. This paper examines interactions between human and natural systems that result in ecosystem services and changes in land use and land cover in urban areas. It develops a social-ecological model for land use and land cover change, and for ecosystems services that integrates nature-based solutions in urban planning. The model treats spatial variations in ecosystems services as both drivers and consequences of human decision-making in choosing commercial and residential locations that drive land use and land cover change. We tested the social-ecological model in Stockholm County, Sweden, on a 30 × 30 m grid. Results show that accessibility in ecosystem services drives urban residential and commercial development, characterized by non-linearity. Areas around existing urban centers show high accessibility in ecosystem services and high development probabilities, whereas smaller population centers in large areas enjoy high accessibility to ecosystem services and low urban development probabilities. Model results suggest place-specific nature-based strategies for addressing the heterogeneous spatial relationships between ecosystem services and urban development.

India's patterns of urban growth came under sharp focus during the Covid-19 pandemic. Many highlighted the poor quality of urban services as contributors to the spread of the same. The pandemic laid bare many pre-existing deficiencies in urban governance that have continued to plague India's urban areas.As India continues to grow and urbanize, the municipal bodies that govern our cities are increasing in relevance. There is a huge diversity of municipal bodies in India—from nagar panchayats or town panchayats at the lowest level to municipalities and municipal corporations. In addition, we have specialised bodies like the DDA in Delhi and the MMRDA in Mumbai responsible for urban planning and development.Cities also have specialized bodies for water and sewerage, transport, and electricity services. The composition, lines of responsibility and accountability, and the manner of appointment and selection varies for each type of body. In most cases, both the state and the local governments have complementary or overlapping powers with respect to such services. And, few municipal bodies are completely financially autonomous of state governments and completely responsible to the residents of the municipality.Given this institutional structure for urban governance, how do we achieve better outcomes in terms of service delivery? Do we need to change how these institutions are designed and their composition and powers? Or are there other solutions that we should explore? In this episode of Interpreting India, Matthew Glasser joins Anirudh Burman to answer these questions.--Episode ContributorsMatthew Glasser is currently the director for municipal law and finance at the Centre for Urban Law and Finance in Africa. Prior to this, he has been the lead urban specialist for the World Bank and has also worked extensively in India and the United States. He has authored a World Bank report titled “Institutional Models for Governance of Urban Services”.Anirudh Burman is an associate research director and fellow at Carnegie India.

Urban heat islands occur in areas containing more impervious surfaces and fewer natural environments. The day and night surface temperature is higher in urban heat islands than in surrounding areas. During heat waves, this can lead to greater numbers of heat-related illnesses and deaths. Landsat satellites collect data on surface temperature and vegetative change that can help cities mitigate the heat stresses for residents, especially in a warming climate. For this episode of Eyes on Earth, we hear about how a mapping project involving Landsat data helped the New York City Council identify urban heat islands.
O mundo suburbano nos EUA é tradicionalmente vendido por filmes e seriados de televisão como um lugar agradável e repleto de pessoas felizes. De fato, uma parcela significativa da população estadunidense vive em áreas de subúrbio. Contudo, diferente do dia-a-dia idílico das cenas da cultura de massas, o sonho americano tem produzido pesadelos suburbanos nos últimos anos: hipotecas impagáveis, dívidas familiares, poluição e destruição ambiental. Uma solução mágica para os problemas dessa sociedade do consumo desenfreado tem sido vendido por alguns programas de TV na forma do movimento das "tiny houses" — casas pequeninas.

The Team discusses one of the most unique aspects of the city of Portland: the Urban Growth Boundary, with the goal of using urban land wisely, containing growth and protecting our natural resources. If you are having trouble finding a home in Portland to buy, maybe it is time to think outside the PDX and think about an idyllic smaller town minutes away from the city. Andrew and Audra discuss their favorite cute towns in which they have found great homes for folks. Audra's Newsletter:Summer came early to us here in the PNW! But I won't complain because my kids are outside, with friends (and masks) and just running around. It's magic. And after the last 15 months I take every.single.lovely. moment with gratitude. Big news in our neighborhood: a big, middle age, cedar had to come down. It was such a lovely tree too! It shaded us from the hot west sunsets and provided a nice privacy barrier between us and our neighbors. But it also helped squirrels access our attic and ever so slightly (or not!) pushed in the foundation wall of our neighbor's home. We all know this is no bueno right? So we had to say good bye to the tree. Homeowners Tip: please do not plant large trees close to your homes. Keep them at a distance to prevent damage to your homes and wallet when the tree needs to come down. Other happenings: Check out the new mural at Bridlemile Elementary School!

Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward says her city can once again “grow and evolve in ways that truly reflect the community's vision.” Ontario's minister of municipal affairs and housing, during a media event at Burlington city hall on Tuesday morning, announced that Burlington will be allowed to adjust the boundary of its existing provincial Urban Growth Centre (UGC) designation. Steve Clark said the adjustment of the boundary of the UGC, once centred on the downtown core, will move the focus of the designation to the Burlington GO Station. The West End Home Builders' Association says it is disappointed by the removal of the Downtown Burlington Urban Growth Centre. “In the middle of a housing crisis within a region challenged to achieve existing growth expectations”, association CEO Mike Collins-Williams said “now is not the time to remove opportunities for new housing supply in complete communities.” GUEST: Michael Collins-Williams, Chief Executive Officer of the West End Home Builders' Association See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Timothy Beatley is the Teresa Heinz Professor of Sustainable Communities at the School of Architecture at the University of Virginia, where he has taught for over twenty-five years. His primary teaching and research interests are in environmental planning and policy, with a special emphasis on coastal and natural hazards planning, environmental values and ethics, and biodiversity conservation. He has published extensively in these areas, including the following books: Ethical Land Use; Habitat Conservation Planning: Endangered Species and Urban Growth; Natural Hazard Mitigation; and An Introduction to Coastal Zone Management. In recent years much of his research and writing has been focused on the subject of sustainable communities and creative strategies by which cities and towns can reduce their ecological footprints, while at the same time becoming more livable and equitable places. His books that explore these issues include Biophilic Cities, Resilient Cities, and Blue Urbanism (Island Press). In The Bird-Friendly City: Creating Safe Urban Habitats (Island Press, 2020), Timothy Beatley, a longtime advocate for intertwining the built and natural environments, takes readers on a global tour of cities that are reinventing the status quo with birds in mind. Efforts span a fascinating breadth of approaches: public education, urban planning and design, habitat restoration, architecture, art, civil disobedience, and more. Beatley shares empowering examples, including: advocates for “catios,” enclosed outdoor spaces that allow cats to enjoy backyards without being able to catch birds; a public relations campaign for vultures; and innovations in building design that balance aesthetics with preventing bird strikes. Through these changes and the others Beatley describes, it is possible to make our urban environments more welcoming to many bird species. Learn more about your ad choices.

Photographer & Conservationist Mahesh Bhat talks to host Pavan Srinath about the long struggle to rejuvenate and conserve the Hesaraghatta ecosystem at the edge of Bengaluru.The Hesaraghatta region to the Northwest of the growing city of Bengaluru and west of Yelahanka, has a history going back to a millenium. In modern times, the Hesaraghatta lake or reservoir became the first source of piped water to Bengaluru in 1890s. But since then, Hesaraghatta and the Arkavathy catchment have fallen victim to neglect, poor maintenance, and unplanned urban growth.Mahesh Bhat is a photographer and filmmaker with over 30 years of experience, and currently teaches at the Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and Technology. A resident of Hesaraghatta, he has worked with many others to safeguard Hesaraghatta's rich grasslands and rejuvenate the lake over the last 15 years. The Arkavathy & Kumudvathi River Rejuvenation Trust that he is a part of, has tirelessly fought to create a Greater Hesaraghatta Conservation Zone, whose fate continues to remain unknown even in February 2021.To read more about the conservation and rejuvenation efforts at Hesaraghatta, visit tiny.cc/harate87 for more links.ಫಾಲೋ ಮಾಡಿ.

South Asia is home to some of the most vulnerable countries in the world when it comes to climate change. Tabadlab Policy Roundtable hosted a conversation with experts in urban infrastructure, climate change, geography, forestry, and agriculture from Pakistan, India and Afghanistan. The panelists discussd issues of governance and planning, urban transport, water management, and the awareness of climate change in South Asia. Featured Panelists Muhammad Rizwan is a Senior Transportation Engineer Marvi Mazhar is an Architect and Heritage Consultant Nasratullah Elham is a Climate Justice Activist, Founder and President LPV Dr. Gopa Samanta is a Professor of Geography at the University of Burdwan, India Discussion Summary Urban Planning in Coastal Cities With only 30 percent of India’s population living in cities, the urban growth rate is high. The government needs to plan ahead for the impact of climate change on coastal cities, particularly as cyclones, flooding, and lockdowns become a stark reality. Even in Karachi, reclamation has gone unchecked with no thought to rising water levels or flooding. Trusting the Experts South Asian countries are held back because projects are led by bureaucrats and not professionals, especially when it comes to the improvement of drainage systems. Cities, like Karachi, need to have qualified experts devise a clear framework to tackle the planning and implementation of complex environmental issues arising. Skilled overseas Pakistanis are also a great resource to utilize for expertise. Mapping the Neighbourhood Constant construction and cementization has led to no urban spaces being planned. Hence, the need for effective mapping and urban design is essential to plan spaces through an evidence-based approach. Cities should also plan walking and cycling paths for reduced vehicle use. They should provide good public transport systems, like buses, to reduce the use of motorcycles, and support shorter car trips. Autonomy in Urban Governance The 74th constitutional amendment in India has encouraged participation in urban governance. Yet funding is dependent on the state, meaning that central and local schemes mix up urban planning and infrastructure instead comes under specific departments rather than local governments. Cities also have no independent plans for tackling climate change, leaving that to the state. Climate Change Diplomacy Interdependence and globalization cause cities and countries to affect each other’s environment through shared coastal ecosystems, rivers or even just geographical proximity. The political relations in the South Asian region are affecting the development of sustainable energy solutions. Climate Awareness Cities like Kabul, which are developing countries, are highly vulnerable to climate change but are, at least for now, more focused more on their economic progress and st

Featured Panelists Muhammad Rizwan is a Senior Transportation Engineer Marvi Mazhar is an Architect and Heritage Consultant Nasratullah Elham is a Climate Justice Activist, Founder and President LPV Dr. Gopa Samanta is a Professor of Geography at the University of Burdwan, India Discussion Summary Urban Planning in Coastal Cities With only 30 percent of India’s population living in cities, the urban growth rate is high. The government needs to plan ahead for the impact of climate change on coastal cities, particularly as cyclones, flooding, and lockdowns become a stark reality. Even in Karachi, reclamation has gone unchecked with no thought to rising water levels or flooding. Trusting the Experts South Asian countries are held back because projects are led by bureaucrats and not professionals, especially when it comes to the improvement of drainage systems. Cities, like Karachi, need to have qualified experts devise a clear framework to tackle the planning and implementation of complex environmental issues arising. Skilled overseas Pakistanis are also a great resource to utilize for expertise. Mapping the Neighbourhood Constant construction and cementization has led to no urban spaces being planned. Hence, the need for effective mapping and urban design is essential to plan spaces through an evidence-based approach. Cities should also plan walking and cycling paths for reduced vehicle use. They should provide good public transport systems, like buses, to reduce the use of motorcycles, and support shorter car trips. Autonomy in Urban Governance The 74th constitutional amendment in India has encouraged participation in urban governance. Yet funding is dependent on the state, meaning that central and local schemes mix up urban planning and infrastructure instead comes under specific departments rather than local governments. Cities also have no independent plans for tackling climate change, leaving that to the state. Climate Change Diplomacy Interdependence and globalization cause cities and countries to affect each other’s environment through shared coastal ecosystems, rivers or even just geographical proximity. The political relations in the South Asian region are affecting the development of sustainable energy solutions. Climate Awareness Cities like Kabul, which are develo

Today’s episode features Gilles Duranton and Diego Puga on their new working paper, “Urban Growth and its Aggregate Implications.” This paper builds a detailed theoretical model that includes urbanization, agglomeration economies, inter-city migration, congestion externalities, and land-use restrictions. We develop an urban growth model where human capital spillovers foster entrepreneurship and learning in heterogeneous cities. Incumbent residents limit city expansion through planning regulations so that commuting and housing costs do not outweigh productivity gains. The model builds on strong microfoundations, matches key regularities at the city and economy-wide levels, and generates novel predictions for which we provide evidence. It can be quantified relying on few parameters, provides a basis to estimate the main ones, and remains transparent regarding its mechanisms. We examine various counterfactuals to assess quantitatively the effect of cities on economic growth and aggregate income.

Summary: Scientists at EROS use tools like Landsat to produce land cover maps, which tell us if landscapes are rural or urban, cropped or forested, wetland or shrubland. Those maps help scientists at EROS and around the U.S. study the impact of changes in land use on not just landscapes, but on ecosystems, patterns of resource use, wildlife habitat, and much more. In this episode, we learn about the basics of land use and land cover study research from Geographer Roger Auch.

Where in the world is urban growth mainly outward onto new land? Where is it mostly upward in the form of taller buildings? These questions (and others) are tackled in a unique way by the important World Resources Institute (WRI) working paper, “Upward and Outward Growth: Managing Urban Expansion for More Equitable Cities in the Global South”. I spoke with co-author, Anjali Mahendra about the paper and why transport folks like you and me should pay attention. The result of our conversation is Reinventing Transport episode #17.

Jason Notte talks about life on the Urban Growth Boundary.
This week: the Portland City Council has created a housing registry landlords of one or more units; Metro council staff released the draft 2018 Urban Growth report and a recent survey finds growing frustration between Seattle landlords and their City Council.
Whether it’s flying into New York City and seeing that iconic skyline, or cycling around Amsterdam, all cities have a certain mystique to them; and like it or not, from the chaotic crosswalks of Tokyo to the density of Delhi, cities are the future for the majority of humanity.

John Rahaim grew up in Detroit. His high school day of community service inspired him to understand the city more, and he went on to receive his B.S. in Architecture from the University of Michigan and a Masters in Architecture with an emphasis on Urban Design from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.The Urban Design program focused on man-environment systems which especially fascinated John."It's all about the interaction of human behavior and the environment and how each one affects the other."Pittsburgh's Second Renaissance:After graduating from Wisconsin, he headed to Pittsburgh in the early 80's, at which point it had the third largest number of corporate headquarters in the country. However, over the 15 years that he was there, most of them left, along with the 27 steel mills.Despite this traumatic change to the city's makeup, John credits Pittsburgh's strong ethnic neighborhoods for maintaining their stability, low crime rates, and cohesion in a way that Detroit did not.As a young planner, working with instrumental mentors and a talented, interdisciplinary team in Pittsburgh, John learned what a broad realm of topics planning encompasses."We have to know a little about a lot of things. It's not just about buildings and design and whatever. It's about the economy of the city, it's about public spaces, and it's about transportation, and it's about the price of housing, and all of those things. That is really the kind of mix of things we have to deal with. And that was an enormous lesson for me."From Urban Designer to Associate Director, he created strong relationships and rewrote Pittsburgh's zoning review process. When he decided to move on, he spent some time in Rome to discern the new direction or his career, at which point a position for City Designer opened up in Seattle.Seattle:Halfway through his tenure at the Office of City Design during the late 90's, the city started seeing significant growth. The Urban Growth boundary that the state had required of all counties since the 1990s had forced cities to think creatively on how to expand up rather than out.San Francisco:After Seattle, he was tapped to take the Planning Director position in San Francisco. He was honored to join the rich planning legacy that exists there, however, he knew it would be no simple task.He laughs that the most common greeting he received when he took the job was “Congratulations and my condolences.”Government Service:John notes that on the West coast, local government is bigger and more is expected from it, certainly when it comes to environmental sustainability.He adds that the population is very knowledgeable which gives leaders both support and push back, as seen with the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard), anti-development movement.I'll be honest, I think part of the aversion to change here is because this place is extraordinarily charming… It's a beautiful city in a beautiful setting. And people are averse to change in a way that is stronger than the other settings I've been in.Challenges in San Francisco:John shares how the housing crisis in San Francisco is due to several factors, including:A consistent decrease in development and residential building.The extraordinary pace of change and turnaround after the recession.The Millennial and Baby Boomer interest in city living.The explosion of tech jobs.The good news is that now they are building more housing than they have in years, and are on pace to meet their six-year goal of building 30,000 housing units.In addition, he has begun diversifying the Planning Office's responsibilities. This transformation spans duties from co-leading the city's efforts on sea level rise to building a community development team focused on stabilizing vulnerable neighborhoods, to leading the city's efforts on transportation planning.Planning Directors:John believes the profession has really matured over the last 30 years. While San Francisco certainly faces unique challenges, many cities are struggling with the same issues and concerns. For example, housing for the middle class is a huge issue everywhere, and transportation is a close second.Advice:John's advice to those interested in entering the field is to get a broad range of experience in both the public and the private sector. Particularly, he says you need to try to understand the financial motivation in the real estate industry, and why developers and builders do what they do.Link:San Francisco Planning Department

A canine commuter catches up on some sleep on the Paris Metro. Kevin O'Mara/Flickr, CC BY-NC-NDWe’re a nation of pet lovers: 60% of Australian households have some kind of pet. And with dogs in 39% of those homes, it’s only natural that we’re starting to see dogs sitting happily alongside human diners at places like cafes and pubs. But while we have one of the highest levels of pet ownership in the world, our rights and infrastructure planning don’t seem to be built around this reality. No Australian cities allow dogs on public transport – something that’s commonplace in many cities in Europe – and many tenants find that looking for a rental property with a pet is virtually impossible. Dallas Rogers speaks with Emma Power, urban cultural geography senior research fellow at Western Sydney University, and Jennifer Kent, urban planning research fellow at the University of Sydney, about why a nation of pet lovers doesn’t seem very interested in planning for pets.

New York residents protest against AirBnB at a City Hall hearing into the impact of short-term rentals in 2015. Shannon Stapleton/ReutersAirbnb has turned sharing our homes and living spaces with strangers from a fringe idea into a multi-million dollar business. It’s changed the way many of us travel. But its growth has turned many suburbs and apartment buildings that are zoned for residential use into hotels, with temporary residents who have no long-term investment in the neighbourhoods they inhabit. In cities like Sydney, Barcelona and Lisbon, where housing costs and vacancy are increasingly outpacing the wealth of citizens, Airbnb puts more power in the hands of landlords and threatens to push up prices for everyday tenants. The University of Sydney’s Dallas Rogers speaks with Nicole Gurran, professor in urban and regional planning at the University of Sydney, about what different cities around the world are doing to regulate Airbnb, what the benefits and costs are of the “sharing economy” model in accommodation, and what data actually exists for researchers and policymakers in this growing industry.
