Berkeley Planning Journal, Volume 26, 2013 City Cycling Edited by John Pucher and Ralph Buehler MIT Press, 2012 Reviewed by Rebecca Sanders The book City Cycling (MIT Press, 2012), edited by John Pucher and Ralph Buehler, provides a comprehensive overview of research about bicycling in urban areas and efforts to promote it. Contributors include the editors, who authored several chapters and many of the papers cited throughout the book, and other reputable scholars who have published multiple papers on various aspects of bicycling as well as other transportation research. From the beginning, the editors make clear that the book focuses on bicycling in cities, as they believe–and the cumulative research suggests they are correct–that these areas offer the greatest potential for substituting bicycle trips for car trips. Such substituted trips may contribute most significantly to the reduction of noise, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, congestion, and chronic disease, as well as to improved traffic safety and quality of life in cities and towns. Nevertheless, readers looking for information about bicycling in lower-density suburban and rural areas will likely still benefit from many of the chapters. The book covers a wide spectrum of issues related to bicycling in cities, including: perceived and reported traffic risk, the health benefits of cycling, the practicality of cycling with regard to equipment and speed, integration with public transit, and bike sharing. It also contains a chapter focusing specifically on women, who often face more barriers to cycling (such as the need to carry passengers and a lower risk tolerance), as well as a chapter specifically about children. Finally, there are comparisons on the national and local level to provide perspective about the potential for cycling to become a mass mode, as well as the barriers to that occurring. With its range of topics, all accompanied by long lists of references, this collection will make a great resource for professors, researchers, and practitioners interested in urban cycling, particularly in the U.S. The book’s limited geographic focus may be the occasion for one of its more substantive critiques. With the exception of two chapters, the book focuses on studies and cases from the U.S., Western Europe (particularly the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, and the U.K.), and Australia. The case studies and research from Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark reflect cities where years of consistent effort have created nearly ideal cycling environments. The case studies and research from the U.S., U.K., and Australia reflect efforts to increase cycling that are much younger,

Street Fight By Jason Henderson University of Massachusetts Press, 2013 Reviewed by Andrea Broaddus Nowhere are tensions between motorists, bicyclists and buses higher than in San Francisco, the birthplace of the freeway revolts, the Transit First ordinance, and Critical Mass. In Street Fight, geographer Jason Henderson offers a fresh perspective into the battle for limited urban road space, delving into the ideologies underlying the politics of mobility. Released this spring, his first book proves a provocative read for those engaged in sustainability and urban livability debates. It is no secret that transportation planning is a politically charged realm. Henderson argues that one must dig deeper than politics to understand and intervene effectively, especially if one aims to challenge the politics of automobility. Automobility is understood as the use of automobiles as the primary mode of transportation, together with the built environment supporting their use, and the everyday attitudes and assumptions of a society dependent upon car use. In the US, this concept is so much embedded in our lives that it seems to be common sense and even inevitable. Henderson writes: In considering transportation, one cannot transcend ideology or hope that it goes away. It is not enough to acknowledge that transportation is simply political.… One must also comprehend the underlying ideology guiding the various political positions with respect to transportation and mobility (p. 6). In his first chapter, Henderson discusses transportation planning as a political discourse dominated by ideologically-charged points of view. Invoking Harvey, Davis, and LeFebvre, and building upon Sheller and Urry’s “new mobility paradigm,” he argues that one must grasp the ideological assumptions about mobility before it is possible to understand how and why transportation decisions are made. He outlines the three competing political ideologies—progressive, neoliberal, and conservative—and their different normative visions of mobility and urban space. Proponents of these ideologies compete in the political realm by invoking the norms, values, and attitudes embedded within their own perspectives. The book’s broad aim is to deconstruct each ideology of mobility, make plain its assumptions, and trace how it has shaped the built environment.

Berkeley Planning Journal, Volume 26, 2013 Urbanism in the Age of Climate Change By Peter Calthorpe Island Press, 2011 Reviewed by Hyungkyoo Kim Climate change has become one of the key challenges for contemporary planning. Peter Calthorpe, a Berkeley-based architect, planner, and a founding member of the Congress for the New Urbanism, suggests an alternative approach to addressing this challenge. In his 126-page book “Urbanism in the Age of Climate Change” (Island Press, 2011), Calthorpe seeks to answer why urbanism is needed in the age of climate change, which he does not hesitate to describe as an “imminent threat.” He forecasts the future impacts of various land use scenarios and offers solutions for planners and policy makers on how our cities and regions should be. This book begins by walking its readers through the history of urbanism in the U.S. in the last fifty years. It depicts the ways in which the changes of urban growth patterns left the country with unsustainable energy needs and suggests that the built environment is responsible for almost two-thirds of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Calthorpe argues that the sole solution to climate change is urbanism because it generates greater ecological, social, and economic benefits than the alternative. He defines urbanism as “compact and walkable development” and presents a set of solutions: a new set of urban design ethics centered on human scale, diversity, and conservation; regionalism in metropolitan planning practice; the Urban Footprint as a new planning tool; and transit-oriented development as an implementation strategy. Calthorpe proposes Green Urbanism, a combination of smart growth policies with the highest standards of technology and lifestyle, as he defines it, should be the most relevant future scenario in the age of climate change. The greatest accomplishment of Calthorpe’s book is a series of computer projections generated with Urban Footprint, a computer-based planning tool built by his team to forecast the impacts of future land use scenarios through 2050 presented with concise numbers and intuitive images. The projections come from his work for the Vision California study 1 , in which he forecasted how each scenario that varies in in housing, transportation, land use, and density futures would impact land consumption, energy use, infrastructure and utility cost, vehicle miles traveled (VMT), GHG emissions, and so forth.

《伯克利规划杂志》，2013年第26卷，气候变化时代的城市主义，Peter Calthorpe Island Press, 2011年。Peter Calthorpe是伯克利的建筑师、规划师，也是新城市主义大会的创始成员，他提出了解决这一挑战的另一种方法。在他长达126页的书《气候变化时代的城市主义》(岛屿出版社，2011)中，卡尔索普试图回答为什么气候变化时代需要城市主义，他毫不犹豫地将其描述为“迫在眉睫的威胁”。他预测了各种土地使用情景对未来的影响，并就我们的城市和地区应该如何发展为规划者和政策制定者提供了解决方案。这本书首先带领读者回顾了过去五十年来美国城市化的历史。它描述了城市增长模式的变化如何给该国带来不可持续的能源需求，并表明建筑环境对近三分之二的温室气体(GHG)排放负有责任。卡尔索普认为，解决气候变化的唯一办法是城市化，因为它比其他选择产生更大的生态、社会和经济效益。他将城市主义定义为“紧凑和可步行的发展”，并提出了一系列解决方案:一套以人类规模、多样性和保护为中心的新城市设计伦理;城市规划实践中的地域主义城市足迹作为一种新的规划工具;并将公交导向发展作为实施策略。卡尔索普提出的“绿色城市主义”(Green Urbanism)是将智能增长政策与最高标准的技术和生活方式相结合的产物，正如他所定义的那样，这应该是气候变化时代最相关的未来情景。卡尔索普的书中最大的成就是一系列由城市足迹生成的计算机预测，这是他的团队建立的一个基于计算机的规划工具，用于预测到2050年未来土地使用情景的影响，并以简洁的数字和直观的图像呈现。这些预测来自于他为加州愿景研究1所做的工作，在该研究中，他预测了住房、交通、土地使用和密度未来的每种情况将如何影响土地消耗、能源使用、基础设施和公用事业成本、车辆行驶里程(VMT)、温室气体排放等。例如，绿色城市主义情景将1。场景选择及其对旧金山酒吧区的影响可以在http://www.youchoosebayarea.org上进行交互式模拟。

In this essay, I explore the linkages between my research and that of Professor Devin Fergus, who presented research from his upcoming book, Land of the Fee, at UC Berkeley this past year. Both Professor Fergus and I are concerned with the ways in which practices in the financial services industry contribute to the racial wealth gap and close off historical routes to economic mobility. The essay provides a brief overview of Professor Fergus’s talk and sets it into conversation with my own work on disparities in access to mortgage credit as a lens through which to view the wealth implications of living in the land of the fee. I also highlight some emerging practices in San Francisco that attempt to stem the rise of abusive financial services and help lower-income families and families of color build assets.
在这篇文章中，我探讨了我的研究与Devin Fergus教授的研究之间的联系，Devin Fergus教授去年在加州大学伯克利分校(UC Berkeley)发表了他即将出版的新书《收费之地》(Land of the Fee)中的研究。费格斯教授和我都关注的是，金融服务业的做法是如何导致种族贫富差距的，并切断了通往经济流动性的历史途径。这篇文章简要概述了费格斯教授的演讲，并将其与我自己关于获得抵押贷款的差距的研究结合起来，作为一个视角，通过这个视角，我们可以看到生活在“收费之地”的财富含义。我还强调了旧金山的一些新兴做法，这些做法试图阻止滥用金融服务的兴起，并帮助低收入家庭和有色人种家庭建立资产。

Frank Lloyd Wright’s utopian plan Broadacre City described a decentralized, agrarian landscape. Post-World War II American suburbanization reflected Wright’s vision in many ways. In response, a large body of literature on the harms of decentralized development was established and numerous alternative models for urban growth that aim to increase density, including New Urbanism, were developed. However, the agrarian ethos of Broadacre City is missing from American suburbia as well as its prominent alternatives. This absence is not incidental; the growing literature on biophilia describes the human need for nature to live healthy and satisfying lives. The contemporary rising interest in urban agriculture is an insurgent demand for the opportunity to reconnect with the land once again. In this paper I argue that planners must recognize this insurgence by incorporating agrarian design, not only denser design, in the latest models for urban growth.

The central problem of local economic development, namely, how to guide declining cities toward renewed prosperity, remains stubbornly resistant to resolution, both theoretically and in practice. Despite a long history of theory and empirical research going back to the economic base model of the 1950s, and an even longer history of practice, dating to the 19th century, cities and states in the U.S. are still chasing jobs, industrial plants, and football teams, offering huge subsidies. They are bemused by nostrums, such as the creative class, which promise success, but rarely deliver. On the academic side, much excellent research has been done, for example on industrial clusters, and many books have set out the principal tools for local economic development that planners have employed. Still, success eludes most of the places that really need it.

The Codornices Creek, an ecological corridor located in the northern part of Berkeley, California, is among the most visible, publicly accessible, and socio-economically diverse creeks in the East Bay. The current study examinesthe comparative influence of individual-level socio-economic conditions, involvementin Creek restoration activities, and the existing Creek-related land useregulations on the area residents’ sense of community and perception of areaecology. Based on the data collected through field measurements and survey ofthe Creek area residents, the study finds the respondents’ exposure to theCreek Ordinance, a key land use regulation in the Codornices Creek area, to be amongthe most important factors affecting their perception of the Creek’s role instormwater management, while the comparative impact of socio-economicconditions appears to be less important. In contrast, exposure to the Ordinanceis found not to have any significant impact on the respondents’ sense ofcommunity or overall perception of area biodiversity. Surprisingly, neither oneof the three outcomes of interest – sense of community, perception of areabiodiversity, or awareness of the Creek’s role in stormwater management –appear to be strongly affected by the respondents’ involvement in Creek-focusedrestoration activities.

Planning scholarship and professional practice roles can be confusing to navigate. I propose that it is useful to think about three different emphases that characterize academic planners: broker, scientist, or synthesist. These in turn have varying degrees of academic or professional emphasis. Within this discussion framework, it is possible to locate a wide range of scholarly and professional roles and functions.
