"In this study the author seeks to find whether changes in urban vegetation can be linked to urban social changes by using Detroit [Michigan] as a case study. Demographic trends in Detroit are analyzed in light of the increasing greenness in the city detected by recent satellite images. Robust relationships between greenness change and demographic factors associated with urban decay (population decline, an increase in poverty level, and an increase in vacant units) are found.... It is concluded that vegetation trends could be used as indicators of urban socioeconomic changes. A vegetation-based urban environmental quality index could therefore be developed to monitor physical and social changes in the cities."

CAM.UR is a software package developed to assist in the renewal of an urban area considered as a whole and not simply building by building. It is at the same time concerned with improvements to urban open spaces. It operates at a scale of action between planning and architecture, which has tended to be neglected in the past by both professions, for the main reason that this demands consideration and action at many scales and levels of interest. CAM.UR is an attempt to acknowledge and protect the general interest as well as the interests of particular parties, by proposing a management framework which operates both at general and at particular levels, and which translates information produced by each party into terms comprehensible to all others. The forms of input, output, and access to information generally are major preoccupations in CAM.UR. Many people, both professionals and lay people, are users or would like to be users of the information which has been built up for a given area, but which is often inaccessible. In the context of urban renewal, that information may be held in many different locations and different formats. The CAM.UR software overcomes these difficulties by means of an efficient database management system coupled to a specially designed user interface.

The development is explained of a technique to generate 'modeled' surfaces of census-type socioeconomic survey data that offer the potential to overcome many of the problems inherent in the analysis and presentation of such data in conventional area-based form. Potential benefits of the modeled surfaces include a level of resolution that arguably can provide a more finely focused spatial basis for the generation of a wide range of spatial indicators that can aid public policy making. This type of application requires that the method is set within a flexibly managed information framework and includes suitable tests for the reliability of the generated surfaces.

This paper describes a much simplified procedure for determining the rigidity of a one-story apartment building braced by any set of cross braces in its walls and ceiling panels. In particular it shows how the mechanical properties of such partially or completely braced buildings are determined wholly by two partitions of its set of halls, one given by the roof braces, the other by the wall braces.
