Edwards, John D. "Downtown Traffic and Parking Needs Related to Downtown Economic Trends." Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board 1552, no. 1 (January 1996): 107–11. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0361198196155200115.

Abstract:

Since the 1950s the economic trends for America's small downtowns (populations less than 50,000) have been characterized by reduced retail sales, vacant stores and buildings, reduced residential occupancy, reduced employment, and reduced assessed valuation. Most downtowns experiencing these conditions have reduced traffic as well. Downtown economic trends are inextricably reflected in traffic and parking needs. The research method used is a comparison of case study floor space, employment, assessed valuation, and traffic data for 1960 to 1970 with data collected from 1990 to 1995. The basic premise to be verified is that decreases in occupied floor space, employment, and residential units in the downtown area will be reflected in reduced traffic on Main Street and that reduced traffic and a comparable reduction in parking demand will allow the design of a more pedestrian-friendly downtown area, which in turn will encourage downtown revitalization. The research discusses trends in population growth and commuting downtown. Also covered are related comparisons of traffic volume trends on Main Street as well as changes in parking demand characteristics. Conclusions drawn from the research indicate that strategies for parking should be changed; that in most small downtowns (populations less than 50,000) congestion is not a significant problem; and that traffic-calming techniques should be practiced.

Abstract:

Americans have planned for their downtowns within a continually changing framework of images and assumptions about the nature of central business districts. During each decade since World War II, discussion of downtown problems and possibilities has been dominated by a distinct set of assumptions that has conditioned academic research, federal policy, and local planning. From decade to decade, experts on downtowns have chosen different themes as central to the interpretation of downtown growth, change, and policy needs. As the understanding of the situation has changed, so have the preferred planning solutions and public interventions.

Abstract:

The changing function of downtowns from dominant centers to specialized service and office centers has made the maintenance of a vital downtown more problematic. The data are derived from a telephone survey of 735 city and suburban residents of metropolitan Atlanta. The analysis explores the impact of demographic, social background, and familiarity variables, as well as cognitive images, affective responses, and evaluative assessment on the use of downtown dining and entertainment facilities. Findings include the following: (1) people who go downtown regularly or work downtown and people who have a greater affective attachment to the area are more likely to participate in downtown drinking and dining activities and (2) younger, better educated, higher status adults and people who have a greater affective attachment to the area are more likely to go downtown for entertainment.

Abstract:

PurposeTo extend the research focuses of downtown business districts beyond the urban planning literature through application of the resource‐based theory of the firm. Downtowns may act like firms (with a collection of SBUs), and therefore should possess resources that provide competitive advantages.Design/methodology/approachA multi‐method approach (focus groups; survey) is used to examine, a priori, the resources that provide competitive advantage for downtowns, including brand identity, business mix and community characteristics. Structural equation modeling is used to test the measurement of the constructs as well as estimate the effects of those constructs on downtown success. The data were collected from business owners within 11 downtown business districts in the US Midwest.FindingsConfirmatory factor analyses reveal that brand identity, business mix and community characteristics are three distinct measures of downtown resources. Brand identity was found to have a significant and positive effect on downtown success. Though the literature points to the importance of both business mix and community characteristics, these did not have a significant effect on downtown success.Research limitations/implicationsBrands in general are posited to be less mobile than other firm resources, and thus may provide a more sustainable competitive advantage. By combining diverse areas of study, operationalizing new constructs, and testing measures, both the resource‐based view (RBV) and brand research are extended.Practical implicationsSince most downtown business districts (and the small businesses therein) have finite resources, to identify those which provide the most sustainable competitive advantage is critical to success. In this study, brand identity is the most important resource a downtown can possess.Originality/valueThis research moves the study of brands beyond “product” towards the concept of place branding. It extends the RBV framework to conceptualize downtown business districts as “firms,” thus allowing the identification of resources that lead to successful downtowns.

Abstract:

<p>This paper looks at recent history of small-metro downtowns, examining their fall from prominence and attempts at revitalization. The paper suggests activity generators, such as events, venues and attractions, are vital parts of the initial focus of downtown revitalization attempts where office-building employment has remained strong but a disconnect has emerged between the office workers and the rest of the downtown. The impact of activity generators is explored via a case study of London, Ontario. The case study concludes that financial incentives are insufficient on their own but play an important supporting role when paired with effective activity generators.</p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>downtowns, urban revitalization, farmers markets, public libraries, revitalization, sporting events<strong></strong></p>

Abstract:

Purpose This study aims to identify the motivations, challenges and desires of the various actors working in contemporary downtown revitalization in mid-sized cities. Design/methodology/approach Using Spokane, Washington, as a case study, 24 semi-structured interviews were conducted with key players in downtown redevelopment, including public administrators, private developers and non-profit representatives. Findings Results indicate that those conducting renewal projects are primarily motivated by economics, but additionally cite heritage preservation values and community development as significant factors. Moreover, contemporary renewal projects are found to be small-scale endeavours, undertaken by individual private investors, as government involvement has significantly diminished. Revitalizers tended to express frustration with a lack of investor and public awareness regarding renewal opportunities, suggesting that increased information dissemination might promote further renewal work within mid-sized urban downtowns. Originality/value Findings provide insight into issues with neoliberal policies in addressing contemporary urban issues, and suggest a more nuanced understanding of contemporary urban development processes beyond the narrowly defined profit-driven paradigm.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article examines Joan La Barbara's role in New York's Downtown scene, where her career was nurtured. By ‘La Barbara's Downtown’ I mean her perspective on Downtown as reflected in where she performed, who she collaborated with and what she wrote. Beginning with her involvement in the Steve Reich and Philip Glass ensembles in the early 1970s, I follow her through explorations in improvisation with Frederick Rzewski, Garrett List and Charlie Morrow. At the centre is La Barbara's development as an experimentalist composer in various Downtown venues, reinforced by her important collaborations with Alvin Lucier and John Cage. She wrote about the Downtown scene in the SoHo Weekly News in the mid-1970s and after leaving New York continued to write about it in Musical America until the mid-1980s. In all these contexts, I explore the different elements of her experimentalism, which is the overriding thematic of her aesthetic.

Abstract:

There are some factors that will determine the result of National Exam score. One of them is the distance between school and downtown. The schools that are located in the downtown should have higher score compared to the schools located far away from downtown. It is because of the circulation of information around the downtown schools is more rapid than those schools located in far away from downtown. There are some previous research on correlation between students’ accessibility to their schools with students achievement, however there no research on correlation between school distance from downtown and students achievement. This research aims to analyze the correlation between school distance to downtown and students’ National Exam achievement on geography subject in 2017. This research is a qualitative descriptive research. This research uses documentation and literature study. The result data of this research shows the school in downtown achieved highest National Exam score on geography, however, there is no positive correlation between the mileage to schools and students’ achievement. Furthermore, the distance beteween school and downtown does not show a positive correlation. Therefore it could be concluded that there is no correlation between distance and mileage from school to downtown with the National Exam result on geography subject in 2017 at SMA Negeri Kabupaten Bangka (Public Senior High School in Bangka Regency).

Abstract:

Regional cities in Japan are facing a decline in the downtown area owing to urban expansion and a decrease in the population. Promoting downtown living is indispensable for the realization of downtown revitalization. Since many coastal cities originally developed outward from a port, their downtown areas are located near the coast and are at high risk of tsunamis. The purpose of this research is to reveal the effectiveness of dealing with the above two issues in parallel by evaluating the Deae-ru Saiwai estate, a public housing relocation project in downtown Kushiro, Hokkaido, Japan that incorporates a tsunami evacuation facility with questionnaires and a GIS survey. Placing public housing in the downtown area shortens the distance to public facilities and improves the convenience of the surrounding environment for many residents. Installing the tsunami evacuation facility improves the feeling of reassurance of residents who would feel anxiety about immigration with regards to tsunamis. This research has clarified the synergistic effect of dealing with the daily and emergency issues in parallel for promoting downtown living. Planning downtown revitalization and disaster prevention concurrently, which has been separated so far, is a fundamental planning approach for urban revitalization in regional coastal cities.

Abstract:

This case recounts the story of the start-up in 2015 of a food truck named Pokey O’s that sold ice cream and cookies in downtown Waco, Texas. The couple who owned the truck, Julia and Austin Meek, had a very successful beginning; but by the summer of 2018, they were considering several options for the restructuring of their business. One possibility was to move their business inside at a local downtown Hilton Hotel. Other possibilities were to take the truck out of operation for maintenance and then vary its location from downtown to some of the municipalities outside of the downtown area. They were also considering purchasing another food truck and leaving one downtown and the other floating between several suburban areas. The couple wondered about the sustainability of a dessert food truck that relied only upon one downtown location.
