Rapid condominium development in Toronto is consuming large areas of the ground plane in prominent corridors of the downtown core. This is the most popular development practice for Mixed-Use land use in Toronto. It is designed to maximize land values, turning these areas into commodified spaces for retail and chain stores. While rapid condominium development effectively provides much needed housing, it only supports public space as a space of consumption. This produces a social conflict with the needs of the residents above. An increasing population density in combination with a decreasing public space results in a lack of dedicated amenities for active recreation as well as diminished outlets for citizen expression. On [Re]building Downtown is referring to On Building Downtown -- a report with design guidelines for the core area presented to the City of Toronto Planning Board in 1974. During this period, mayor David Crombie pushed to reform a rapidly developing Toronto towards a more socially responsible built environment. In a similar way, this thesis proposes a new design framework to improve the social life of urbanites by addressing the challenges of Toronto's rapidly transforming public realm. This framework focuses on carving out designated spaces from condominium developments along high density corridors, framing the communication between buildings, and facilitating public engagement at multiple scales: the Core, the Street, the Room, and the Object. The resulting design introduces a new form of ground plane that considers activity and identity while giving purpose to public space by responding to surrounding density.

Urban redevelopment in American cities is neither easy nor quick. It takes a delicate alignment of goals, power, leadership and sustained advocacy on the part of many. Rebuilding the American City highlights 15 urban design and planning projects in the U.S. that have been catalysts for their downtowns—yet were implemented during the tumultuous start of the 21st century. The book presents five paradigms for redevelopment and a range of perspectives on the complexities, successes and challenges inherent to rebuilding American cities today. Rebuilding the American City is essential reading for practitioners and students in urban design, planning, and public policy looking for diverse models of urban transformation to create resilient urban cores.

Thriving Post-World War Two America created cities that were no longer dependent upon America's major city centers, but rather a network of regional developments. Highways allowed metropolitans to rapidly expand and engulf the small satellite towns that were once independent of any major city. Small satellite communities, like Lake Orion, Michigan, were forced to function very differently; Main Street was no longer the center of the community, but rather viewed as an inconvenient place of the past. As the suburbs developed on fringes of town, community borders slowly blurred one town into the next. Today these satellite communities lack identity, but have the embodied attributes to become a viable urban core. A reinvestment in these existing downtown conditions, via the intervention of a community catalyst, can establish these lost identities. The study of Lake Orion's, past, present and future frameworks inspired a connection back to the community's waterfront roots. By reengaging the community's assets in new ways, innovative programing and development opportunities are presented, turning what were once limitations into opportunities for the community's future.

Rebuilding Urban Neighborhoods presents a timely look at some of the most troubled neighborhoods in eight American cities: Atlanta, Camden, Chicago, Cleveland, East Saint Louis, Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City. The authors, W. Dennis Keating and Norman Krumholz, review past federal policies and early assessments of the latest federal initiative, the Empowerment Zone. They find some signs of revival even in the most distressed urban neighborhoods, but often as an overlay to persistent poverty and social problems. The case studies emphasize the important roles played by Community Development Corporations, and the book concludes with an analysis of the future prospects for distressed urban neighborhoods.
