Vacant Lot Restoration Case Study

Investors have a number of development options in this community. Since it has remained primarily residential for years, there are many different vacant lots developed. The community's real estate prices are rising, so investors have the option of just buying the lot and leaving it vacant until they sell it.

The first step towards the revival of the Bayview Yards is to remediate the soil and groundwater contamination which are the direct results of the municipal landfills, former rail yards, and current snow dump activities . After these environmental strains are lifted, the city will work to restore open spaces and green linkages between districts which will provide the foundation for the newly designated heritage building in the heart of Bayview Yards, the new Innovation Centre (7 Bayview Yards)

A small parcel of land, part of the original property belonging to the Yountville Veterans’ Home, remained on the east side of State Road 29. The Veteran’s Home expressed an interest in providing the deed to this parcel of land to the Town of Yountville as long as the land was for use by the community and not sold for profit. The Town desired to create a park that was welcoming and connected the entrances to the Town of Yountville and the Veterans’ Home because they were

Positioned in eastern Tallahassee off the Apalachee Parkway, it offers an ideal location that is in close proximity to shopping centers, the Capitol, and within walking distance of both Lincoln High School and Swift Creek Middle School. Of greatest importance to this proposal, it borders the Lafayette Heritage Trail Park, which features two trails, one that heads east and follows the edge of Piney-Z Lake and one that heads west that leads to Tom Brown Park following the Upper Lake Lafayette. So our “neighborhood” will be a triangle of land that spans from Piney Z to Lafayette Heritage Trail Park to Tom Brown Park and for the sake of this proposal, we will call it the “Lafayette Neighborhood.” We chose this neighborhood because we feel, due to its location, it’s a prime spot to invest in the promotion of healthy living through a variety of outlets stemming from the trails that link to the numerous amenities of Tom Brown

In the assessment there were only two alternatives, purchasing the land was the first alternative and the second was to take no action (Vinkey, 2006). These both are fine as actions that can be taken; however, there are organizations that will procure land for conservation purposes. The Safari Club Foundation uses private donations and other procurements to promote conservation and game preserves (Safari, n. d.). The statement that “a conservation easement or lease are not feasible alternatives (Vinkey, 2006)” suggests a lack of options. This seems to be a bias on the part of the author.

Growing up in East Austin, one would be accustomed to seeing rundown neighborhoods inhabited mostly by African American and Hispanic working-class families. In the past few years though, the view has drastically changed. Now brightly colored two-story homes housing affluent Caucasian families occupy the once dilapidated areas. The previously desolated lots are now the future sites of lofts and condominiums. The recent changes in East Austin are a clear sign of gentrification. Gentrification is the extremely evident process of displacement. Revitalizing a derelict neighborhood favors the entire community, not just the ones with money. However, revitalization and gentrification

V2V took a market analysis of Baltimore neighborhoods to determine their potential for development. It then compares the geography of the market findings with the geography of vacant properties to identify areas for different types of stabilization, rehabilitation, and development incentives and support.

Property-led regeneration involves the regeneration of an inner city area by changing the image of the area, improving the environment, attracting private investment and improving

Many of the homes in the neighborhoods in the area are dirty and in need of repair. The yards are full of garbage and items such as old

Politicians need to be more open to allowing vacant lots to be turned into gardens that can be used by the community.

Reclamation’s main strategy is to remain active and consistent on its current social media websites, and to take on new social media websites that will benefit Reclamation’s mission. Reclamation’s current social media team is Peter Soeth, Sarah Webster, Lauren Meredith, Alexander Stephens, Emily Quinn and Stephen Major. Patti Aaron is the supervisor who oversees the social media team.

The main idea of this 2-years project is to help conserve urban wildlands, by focusing on a large-scale prairie and savanna restoration at the UW Arboretum. The scope of the project is the Grady Tract (Figure 2), a part of the Arboretum that lies south of the Beltline and consists of a 200-acre mosaic of prairie, savanna and deciduous and coniferous forest (including 6.3 miles of trails). This land was acquired in late 1940 from Nettie Grady, who felt close to the university world and wished that her land would become a university forest. Back then, these 200 acres were farm land, hard woods and included two savanna remnants, West and East Knoll (Court 2012). Once acquired, the site was planted with acorns by the UW Arboretum staff in the 1950s. This would be the first efforts made on the site to restore oak savanna. Unfortunately in the present, some of these parts of the Grady Tract are closer to a closed-canopy oak woodland than to an oak savanna. Thus, when thinking about restoration is crucial to understand the history of the site. By doing this, we can understand the composition of the Grady Tract today, and plan into future

Research over a decade ago led to the coining of the term green exercise to account for the effects of activity in natural blue and green spaces (Pretty et al., 2003). Previous research had shown the many physiological and psychological benefits of exercise, such as reduction in tension, depression, anxiety in addition to increases in energy, vitality and self concept (DiLorenzo, Bargman, Stucky-Ropp, Brassington, Frensch, & LaFontaine 1999 Hassmén, Koivula, & Uutela, 2000; Pollock, Franklin, Balady, Chaitman, Fleg, Fletcher, & Bazzarre 2000). Environmental Psychologists had found links between access to green environments and decreases in mood disturbances (Pretty, Peacock, Hine, Sellens, South, & Griffin, 2007; Takano, Nakamura, & Watanabe 2002) as well as
