Boyd Theater makes endangered list
By Inga Saffron Inquirer Architecture Critic
With the celebrated Boyd Theater once again for sale, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has placed the art deco movie palace on its annual list of the 11 most endangered historic sites in America.
& WHAT WE DO
CUP makes educational projects about places and how they change.
Our projects bring together art and design professionals - artists, graphic designers, architects, urban planners - with community-based advocates and researchers - organizers, government officials, academics, service-providers and policymakers. These partners work with CUP staff to create projects ranging from high school curricula to educational exhibitions.
Our work grows from a belief that the power of imagination is central to the practice of democracy, and that the work of governing must engage the dreams and visions of citizens. CUP believes in the legibility of the world around us. What can we learn by investigation? By learning how to investigate, we train ourselves to change what we see.

The William R. Ginsberg Fellowships
Established in 2007, the William R. Ginsberg Fellowships are designed to
encourage public service and civic engagement for two key groups of
talented professionals: senior practitioners and policy makers, and recent
college graduates or graduate students.
The Fellowships provide support for original research and the opportunity
to explore new ideas and practices. Areas of research and empirical study
should be designed to improve the quality of life in NYC's neighborhoods
by focusing on housing, the urban environment and open space, education,
transportation, land use and zoning, or community development.
William R. Ginsberg was a pioneering environmental lawyer, NYC Parks
Commissioner, teacher, mentor, and tireless advocate on behalf of NYC's
civic life, the built environment, and the preservation of open space. He
served on the board of CHPC for more than four decades.
The Fellowship is supported by a generous gift from William R. Ginsberg
and his family.

The terrorist destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City in September 2001 set in motion a planning process meant to rebuild on the site us quickly as possible. The first attempt at plan development-Phase 1-failed. The six planning proposals were unanimously rejected. Phase 1 had to be repeated. What went wrong? This paper examines the event through the lens of the inherent marginality of public planning in the USA, the idiosyncrasies of local and local-state politics, and the interaction of property rights and the public interest.

The TCDI program is intended to assist in reversing the trends of disinvestment and decline in many of the region's core cities and first generation suburbs by:
- Supporting local planning projects that will lead to more residential, employment or retail opportunities;
- Improving the overall character and quality of life within these communities to retain and attract business and residents, which will help to reduce the pressure for further sprawl and expansion into the growing suburbs;
- Enhancing and utilizing the existing transportation infrastructure capacity in these areas to reduce the demands on the region's transportation network; and
- Reducing congestion and improving the transportation system's efficiency.

Sharing the Wealth: Targeting Transportation Funding to Economic Development in Low-Income Communities (06-1677)

ABSTRACT Economic development benefits are often cited as justification for transportation investments. For a variety of reasons, Federal transportation funds go mainly to large, regional-scale projects with identified regional economic benefits. Local benefits to low-income communities—where they exist—are usually incidental. The transportation and economic development needs of such communities generally get overlooked in transportation project planning. This has led to distributive inequity. A review of state and regional level transportation programs found few that target transportation investments to economic development in disadvantaged communities, either in effect or in stated purpose. The Transportation and Community Development Initiative (TCDI) program administered by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is one of a very small number of such programs. This program is in its fourth year of competitive grants to local municipalities. While the DVRPC’s municipal eligibility criteria for the TCDI now go beyond strictly disadvantaged communities, in order to serve other goals such as regional growth management, the economic development benefits are still aimed primarily at disadvantaged communities. The program can point to some impressive results in local economic revitalization of disadvantaged neighborhoods that probably would not have occurred without the impetus the TCDI provided. On balance, the TCDI program is a good model for integrating transportation and economic development planning for the purpose of reviving disadvantaged communities. However, even TCDI’s emphasis on revitalization of such communities is no guarantee that their inhabitants will benefit from economic development that might be generated by the program’s projects.
