- Abstract
- This edition of Carolina Forum includes: DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION VS. AIR QUALITY: TSM TO THE RESCUE IN LOUISVILLE: Downtown revitalization has been an important concern of urban planning and development agencies for many years. Planners developed many such schemes in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s as business and residents alike fled the center city for the suburbs. Recently, air quality control agencies have also become concerned with downtown revitalization, but for different reasons. They fear that new development projects will attract large numbers of automobiles, thus aggravating the already high concentrations of pollutants generated by slow moving traffic on center city streets. With downtown revitalization interests viewing new development as essential, and air quality interests viewing new development as a possible threat, the potential exists for conflict. In Louisville, Kentucky conflict has been reduced through a cooperative planning process for Transportation Systems Management (TSM) that will improve air quality and at the same time enhance the economic development potential of the center city. CONSIDER THE COAST: The coast suffers all the problems typical of our country today and many that are unique. It has special resources but also special conflicts. It has inflation, unemployment, rising taxes, and crime; it also has hurricanes, beach erosion, estuarine pollution, and oil drilling. In the face of these and other coastal problems, federal policy is sadly lacking. Policy reforms and efficient resource programs are urgently needed to protect our fisheries, wetlands, estuaries, beaches, and barrier islands.
