Spatial Display

In 1991, a research team centred at Concordia University undertook a contract for the city of Montreal. The task was to prepare an inventory of all industrial establishments that had been in existence in the city between the 1820s and 1950. One of the most important contributions of the project was to make its inventory of industrial firms available for spatial display. Computer generated maps of a large set of industrial categories are available to assist research into the industrialisation process in Canada's largest and most diverse manufacturing city of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This paper employs the data and the maps of one industrial group (food and beverage), and all industries to describe some of the important spatial processes occurring in Montreal's industrialisation.

What does it mean for artists within academia to make art, teach and learn with and in community, in particular the challenged and challenging Montreal neighborhood of Pointe-St-Charles? This article addresses community engagement in "The Point" from the perspectives of a doctoral student and two instructors involved in "The Right to the City" (TRTC), a three-year, interdisciplinary, placed-based teaching initiative of Concordia University (Montreal). Showcasing the student’s graphic novella, based on the oral history interview of a longtime resident, this article affirms the importance of reciprocity—learning with rather than about—within academic and artistic outreach.

The article is devoted to the classification analysis of the glazed ceramics of Derbent, originating from the materials of archaeological excavations (excavations XXVII and XXXIII), carried out in 2014-2015. in the city. The chronological framework of the study was presumably determined by the end of the VIII-X centuries. The relevance of the topic is characterized by the importance of studying the glazed ceramics of Derbent as a source of a large set of information (historical, cultural and socio-economic interactions of Derbent with a wide range of countries of the Near and Far Abroad).Typology of glazed ceramics in Derbent at the end of the 8th-10th centuries is considered in the article on the basis of modern methodological developments based on three main approaches to the study of any ceramics: the study of technology together with the morphology and decor of the dishes. All investigated ceramics, consisting of fragments of rims, bodies, bases and handles of vessels, are included in one large Section - Household ceramics. This section includes three sections, which are based on the analysis of the clay color of the shard (red clay, brown clay, beige clay ceramics), which determines the technology for the production of dishes. Based on the presence or absence of engobe on ceramics, two subsections are allocated in each department. The next division is the groups that are formed according to the degree of transparency of the opaque glaze. There are three of them: ceramics with transparent, translucent, opaque (dull) glaze. Within some groups, four subgroups are additionally distinguished, determined by the color of the glaze. According to the peculiarities of the additional decor, the types (overglaze, underglaze ornament) and subtypes (painting, engraving, combination of painting with engraving, relief ornament) of ceramics are distinguished. Thus, the characteristics of the glazed ceramics of Derbent from these excavations include: Section, department, sub-department, group, subgroup, type, subtype.

Integral to some conceptualizations of the “smart city” is the adoption of web-based technology to support civic engagement and improve information systems for local government decision support. Yet there is little to no literature on the “smartness” of gathering information about historic places within municipal information systems. This chapter provides three case studies of technologically augmented planning processes that incorporated citizens as sensors of data about historic places. The first case study is of SurveyLA, a massive effort of the city of Los Angeles to comprehensively survey over 880,000 parcels for historic resources. A second case study involves Motor City Mapping, an effort to identify the condition of buildings in Detroit, Michigan and a parallel historical survey conducted by volunteers. In Austin, Texas, a university-based research team designed a municipal web tool called the Austin Historical Survey Wiki. This chapter offers insights into these prior efforts to augment planning processes with “digitized memory,” web-based technology, and public engagement.

The authors analyze the impact of a tax on sweetened beverages using a unique data set of prices, quantities sold, and nutritional information across several thousand taxed and untaxed beverages for a large set of stores in Philadelphia and its surrounding area. The tax is passed through at an average rate of 97%, leading to a 34% price increase. Demand in the taxed area decreases by 46% in response to the tax. Cross-shopping to stores outside of Philadelphia offsets more than half of the reduction in sales in the city and decreases the net reduction in sales of taxed beverages to only 22%. There is no significant substitution to bottled water and modest substitution to untaxed natural juices. The authors show that tax avoidance through cross-shopping severely constrains revenue generation and nutritional improvement, thus making geographic coverage an important policy decision.

In 1857 the Austrian military authorities started building an internal line of defence in the Krakow fortress, known as Noyau. Krakow, as an extremely important strategic point on the map of the Habsburg monarchy, required urgent fortification. The works were preceded by field studies and considerations of several variants of the planned fortifications. In progress, obstacles appeared which caused completion of the investment only after 9 years. The construction of Noyau, permanently saved in the history of the city, affected its urban planning and spatial development. Despite the demolition of most of the fortifications, we can still see a trace of their presence in the form of a system of communication routes, surrounding today’s downtown of Krakow.
