R EASON * July 2000 Horizontal Cities Suburbia is finally getting its due from social critics. By Nick Gillespie For those of us who grew up in "suburbia"that geographic and psychic region that has long been synonymous with all that is "plastic" and "soulless" in American lifethe April 9 edition of The New York Times Magazine was a real stunner. Who would have expected one of the nation's great arbiters of taste and sensibility to sanctify "The Triumph of Burbopolis" with a special issue that actually had some good things to say about the suburbs? One story even went so far as to praise Levittown, Long Island, that reportedly irradiated Ground Zero of the post-war suburban explosion: "Held up as an example of conformity and monotony, Levittown's 17,000 identical capes have mutated into an exuberant architectural Babel: the sparrows on a wire have each grown their own distinctive plumage." Such thoughts underscore a significant shift in elite opinion regarding suburbia, the place where most Americans138,231,000 of them, according to the Census Bureaunow choose to live. The original critique had been fully articulated by the 1920s, when social critic Lewis Mumford suggested that if "the 19th century American town...was the negation of the city," then "suburbia was the negation of that negation. The result was not a new synthesis, but a deterioration." Though Mumford's archly negative take was among the first, and most influential, he was hardly alone in castigating what historian Frederick Lewis Allen dubbed "the suburban nightmare" and efficiency expert Christine Frederick derided as "sugary and commonplace and pathetic."

64. Three: What's Needed: The Policy Arena as the state regulatory commissions in ohio, Indiana, and the underlying problemsof inner cities and disadvantaged schools in lowincome communities have made http://www.benton.org/Library/Low-Income/three.html

Contents Intro The Gap Barriers What's Needed What's Working Resources What's Needed: The Policy Arena Government policies will go a long way toward determining whether new information technologies widen or narrow social divisions. To ensure that the digital future brings opportunity for everybody, regardless of income or geography, public interest advocates must play an active role in the continuing debate over telecommunications policy. Universal Service The debate over universal service is far from over. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) must periodically review what communications services should be covered by universal service policies. At the same time, states are free to establish their own definitions that go beyond federal conventions. Although the definition currently is drawn rather tightly, public interest advocates foresee a day when some services that currently aren't eligible for universal service support will be recognized as essential. For instance, Maxine Rockoff, a founder of the Information Technology Initiative at United Neighborhood Houses of New York, argues that our definition of universal service should be expanded to include at least three new components: access to a computer with a World Wide Web browser, a personal Internet email address, and the capability to make one's own information available via the Web. At the moment, public officials haven't been willing to go as far as Rockoff recommends. Even the states that have established the most expansive definitions have not required discounted rates for much beyond basic telephone service; they simply have defined basic services to include touch-tone dialing, access to long-distance carriers, and 911 services. Wisconsin has concluded that advanced services should be accessible in some form, though it doesn't require that they be provided to every home or be subsidized as substantially as basic services. California lawmakers recognize community organizations as eligible for universal service support, while Louisiana moved to include community networks as eligible for universal service discounts.

One of my major theoretical aims has been to rethink the way in which ‘culture’, ethnicity, and identity have been conceptualised in academic literature. Theoretical perspectives on migration and cultural politics: the case of British Arabs For several years now, I have been conducting research on London’s Arab communities. I have been especially interested in the ways in which groups excluded from traditional ‘race relations’ discourses are, in fact, implicated in the politics of ‘race’ and identity in British society, and how these politics are spatialised through everyday behaviours and interactions. The larger theoretical significance of the research has been to question the key paradigms used to interpret relationships between immigrants and receiving societies—including assimilation models, multiculturalism, cultural studies approaches, and theories of transnationalism and diaspora.

Siebel Corporation: National Cities Bank National City Knows No Geography in Banking Banks of yesterday were often defined by maps 3/4 "who" they were was tied to "where" they operated. Not so at National City. Customer relationships drive their business, and they strive to provide "anytime, anyplace" financial services. By serving their customers better and more profitably, they also create value for their stockholders, and enhance the quality of life in the communities they serve. Founded in 1845, National City (NYSE:NCC) is an $84 billion diversified financial services company, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. National City operates banks and other financial service subsidiaries principally in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois. National City subsidiaries provide financial services that meet a wide range of customer needs, including commercial and retail banking, trust and investment services, item processing, mortgage servicing, and insurance. National City has prospered because it has retained the integrity of its commitments and remained focused on service to its customers, communities, stockholders, and employees. Chasing Paper National City offers wealth management services, called Private Investment Advisors, which provide trust and investment management services for mid- and upper-level investors. Traditionally, an investor was assigned a trust officer, who was responsible for the management of 400-500 other accounts. Time and resource restrictions kept trust officers from meeting with each of their customers, and valuable opportunities for cross-selling and improving customer satisfaction were being lost.

Introduction People with disabilities often face traumatic consequences when trying to access assistive technology. Often times people with disabilities in rural areas face significant barriers when approaching local government and community organizations for services or funds for access to assistive technology. State and federal government agencies are obligated to include people with disabilities in their programs and functions. Depending on the various factors, accessibility' may be a figment of one's imagination. Assistive technology in the education process of the rural community increases the potential for persons with disabilities to succeed in independent living and to engage in productive employment, as well as enjoy what life has to offer to all. Considering the variety of equipment and devices that are available, the field of assistive rehabilitative technology is rather broad and foreign to most people, especially to those who live and work in rural areas. Consumers, therapists, vendors, manufacturers, and advocates understand how assistive technology can make a difference in the life of a person with a disability.

Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream by Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk and Jeff Speck Progressive town planners Duany and coauthors share the fruits of their extensive experiences designing new neighborhoods and community revitalization projects in this cogent and illuminating investigation into the nature of sprawl and the failure of suburbs. They mince no words in condemning the soulless, "repetitive and forgettable" landscape of subdivisions, shopping malls, office parks, and congested roadways that ring our cities, and articulate with great precision exactly how and why such places are detrimental to social health. They contrast traditional neighborhoods"mixed-used, pedestrian-friendly communities" where people of diverse backgrounds and economic levels interact, with suburbia, where housing, work, shopping, and public facilities are segregated from one another, so people are forced to drive everywhere. Using numerous examples, the authors explain how and why sprawl has occurred, discuss why the quality of balkanized suburban life is so deplorably low, and offer suggestions for a more viable approach to planning in the immediate future. Cities in Civilization by Peter Hall Seduction of Place: The City in the Twenty-First Century by Joseph Rykwert To understand why people love or hate their cities and why cities succeed or fail their inhabitants, Joseph Rykwert examines a broad spectrum of urban centers. Among them are Mexico City, the world's largest metropolis, sprawled around its old center; Berlin, newly reunited and furiously rebuilding; New Delhi and Islamabad, new capitals that exist alongside older towns; grandly planned cities like Chandigarh, Canberra, and Brasília; and more modest new towns like Columbia, Maryland, and Celebration, Florida, built in an attempt

74. Detroit Can Learn From Cleveland On Ways To Stop Sprawl In October, the Consortium — comprised of 10 communities which each pay of Albuquerque,NM and author of cities without Suburbs, ohio’s population http://www.mlui.org/projects/growthmanagement/sprawl/pzncleve.html

Detroit Can Learn from Cleveland on Ways to Stop Sprawl By Keith Schneider A version of this article was published in Planning and Zoning News in the December, 1998 edition. Formed in 1996, the First Suburbs Consortium already has made its presence known in the Cleveland region, and increasingly in state politics. It joined the fight two years ago to halt the widening of Interstate-90, an east-west corridor, because of concerns the project would accelerate flight to the distant suburbs. Though the highway will be widened, the fight led to changes in how the state Department of Transportation spends money in older communities, especially to repair existing roads. The battle was the first ever waged by local governments in the Cleveland region against a major road. More recently, the Consortium joined Cleveland city and civic leaders who are seeking to halt the widening of Interstate 71. The goal is to redistribute transportation spending to support alternatives, among them a new light rail line, more bus service, and money to repair roads, curbs, and sidewalks. Will it fly in the legislature? One of those who attended the conference was an aide to Robert Taft 2nd, the Republican governor-elect, who said growth management would be a priority in the Taft Administration. Two others who spoke were a Republican and Democratic state representative who have teamed up to pass new legislation next year to conserve farmland, and asked for support from the Consortium. In addition, mayors from suburbs in Columbus, Dayton, and Toledo agreed to join suburbs in Cleveland to expand the First Suburbs Consortium into a statewide organization.

75. The Internet, Cities And Civil Society Through the Northeast ohio Software Association and its Seed foot traffic in mostof the communities studied on how the Internet shapes public space in cities. http://www.cisp.org/imp/may_2001/05_01horrigan.htm

May 2001 The Internet, Cities and Civil Society "There are encouraging signs of how the Internet might help build civil society, from efforts to make cities more hospitable to innovators to programs to extend technology’s reach to the less well-off.  But having a new space for public deliberation will not happen by accident.  . . At this stage, it is easy to see the foundations that have been laid, but it will take sustained effort over several years to build long-lasting civic structures." John B. Horrigan Dr. Horrigan is Senior Research Specialist at the Pew Internet and American Life Program. The city, the Internet and civil society are three things that together might seem a little incongruous.  The city is a physical place that remains an important part of modern society, not withstanding prophecies that communications technology will render cities irrelevant.  Civil society is in some ways an ideal, a place where “citizens are active, responsible, engaged members of groups and communities that, while having different values and conflicting interests, are devoted to arbitrating those differences by exploring common ground, doing public work, and pursuing common relations.”

Travel to the United States The Regions of the United States New England The Mid-Atlantic The South The Midwest ... The West Americans often speak of their country as one of several large regions. These regions are cultural units rather than governmental units formed by history and geography and shaped by the economics, literature and folkways that all the parts of a region share. What makes one region different from another? A region's multicultural heritage as well as distinct demographic characteristics like age and occupation also make regions different and special. Within several regions, language is used differently and there are strong dialects. There are also differences in outlook and attitude based on geography. E-Texts Megalopolis The Bypassed East New England Connecticut Maine Massachusetts New Hampshir ... Vermont New England has played a dominant role in American history. Until well into the 19th century, New England was the country's cultural and economic center. The earliest European settlers of New England were English Protestants who came in search of religious liberty. They gave the region its distinctive political format town meetings (an outgrowth of meetings held by church elders) in which citizens gathered to discuss issues of the day. Town meetings still function in many New England communities today and have been revived as a form of dialogue in the national political arena. New England is also important for the cultural contribution it has made to the nation. The critic Van Wyck Brooks called the creation of a distinctive American literature, in the first half of the 19th century, "the flowering of New England." Education is another of the region's strongest legacies. The cluster of top-ranking universities and colleges in

Fish and fishing Native flora Water levels TEACH Environment Home Work with your neighbors Land-use decisions are best made when looking at the entire region, rather than just a small portion of it. Development not only affects your community, but those to the north, south, east, and west of you. Communities may be created within political boundaries, but ecosystems, rivers, wildlife habitats, and the air you breathe don't follow these boundaries, so by including other communities in planning development, more responsible and efficient growth can result. The Great Lakes region provides some examples of regional cooperation. The First Suburbs Consortium of Northeastern Ohio is a group of 10 Cleveland suburbs who decided that working together, instead of separately, would provide better solutions to Cleveland's growth and sprawl problems. The Consortium has brought together more than 200 city and state leaders in the fight against sprawl, and Columbus, Dayton, and Toledo now all have First Suburbs organizations as well. The Grand Valley Metro Council is another good example of regional cooperation, bringing together over 30 townships in the Grand Rapids, Mich., area in order to promote anti-sprawl land-use issues.
