Elm Place, Greater Sudbury
The Elm Place Mall is a mall in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. It was built as part of the plan to demolish the Borgia Neighborhood in Sudbury in the early 1970s. It was bought in the early 2000s by Vista Hospitality, and is as of 2017 being managed under Robert Green. It was originally called the City Centre, or the Rainbow Centre, at the time of restoration project, but it was renamed in 2020 after a community renaming contest to Elm Place. The architecture is designed as a car-centric building, and the building often takes part in local mural projects by holding murals on its north facade. History The Elm Place Mall is located on the site of the former Borgia Neighborhood. The Borgia Neighborhood was considered as slum housing consisting of very crowded simple wood-framed buildings, which was a result of the housing shortage at the time. To combat these issues and revitalize the area, there were plans for a major project intended for urban renewal Urban renewal (somet ...

Car-centric
Car dependency is a pattern in urban planning that occurs when infrastructure favors automobiles over other modes of transport, such as public transport, bicycles, and walking. Car dependency is associated with higher transport pollution than transport systems that treat all transportation modes equally. Car infrastructure is often paid for by governments from general taxes rather than gasoline taxes or mandated by governments. For instance, many cities have minimum parking requirements for new housing, which in practice requires developers to "subsidize" drivers. In some places, bicycles and rickshaws are banned from using road space. The road lobby plays an important role in maintaining car dependency, arguing that car infrastructure is good for economic growth. Description In many modern cities, automobiles are convenient and sometimes necessary to move easily. When it comes to automobile use, there is a spiraling effect where traffic congestion produces the 'demand' for mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Urban Renewal
Urban renewal (sometimes called urban regeneration in the United Kingdom and urban redevelopment in the United States) is a program of land redevelopment often used to address real or perceived urban decay. Urban renewal involves the clearing out of areas deemed blighted, often in inner cities, in favour of new housing, businesses, and other developments. 19th Century The concept of urban renewal as a method for social reform emerged in England as a reaction to the increasingly cramped and unsanitary conditions of the urban poor in the rapidly industrializing cities of the 19th century. The agenda that emerged was a progressive doctrine that assumed better housing conditions would reform its residents morally and economically. Modern attempts at renewal began in the late 19th century in developed nations. However, urban reform imposed by the state for reasons of aesthetics and efficiency had already begun in 1853, with Haussmann's renovation of Paris ordered by Napoleon III. T ...
