Keweenaw National Historical Park: Heritage Partnerships in an Industrial Landscape

This dissertation examines the genesis and development of Keweenaw National Historical Park in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. After the decline of a once-thriving copper mining industry, local residents pursued the creation of a national park as a way to encourage economic development, revitalize their community, and preserve their historic resources. Although they were ultimately successful in creating a national park, the park that was established was not the park that they envisioned. Over the next twenty years, the National Park Service, the park's federal Advisory Commission, and the communities on the Keweenaw Peninsula struggled to align unrealistic expectations with the actual capabilities and limitations of the park. The first chapter of this dissertation includes a short history of the decline of the copper industry in and around the village of Calumet, Michigan. This chapter also includes a discussion about the techniques and challenges of preserving and interpreting industrial heritage. Chapters 2 and 3 cover the events from the initial park proposal, to the expansion of the original idea, to the establishment of the park. Chapter 4 includes an examination of the enabling legislation and a discussion about the opportunities and challenges it provided. Chapters 5 through 8 cover the tenure of each of the four NPS superintendents as they navigated the complexities presented by a park model that was part partnership park and part traditional national park. Chapter 9 includes some key lessons, an assessment of the park's success, and some considerations for the future. In particular, Chapter 9 argues for an increased focus on the partnership aspects of the park, a reduction in the perceived scope of responsibilities, and a renewed effort to rally the existing partners in pursuing additional philanthropic support for the overall park.

Industrial benzene emissions in Houston: Legal barriers to reducing a public health threat

Decades of research show that environmental exposure to the chemical benzene is associated with severe carcinogenic, hematoxic and genotoxic effects on the human body. As such, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designated the chemical as a Hazardous Air Pollutant and prescribed benzene air concentration guidelines that provide cities with an ideal ambient level to protect human health. However, in Houston, Texas, a city home to the top industrial benzene emitters in the US who undoubtedly contribute greatly to the potentially unsafe levels of ambient benzene, regulations beyond the EPA’s unenforceable guidelines are critical to protecting public health. Despite this, the EPA has failed to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for benzene. States are thus left to regulate air benzene levels on their own; in the case of Texas, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and state legislature have failed to proactively develop legally enforceable policies to reduce major source benzene emissions. This inaction continues to exacerbate a public health problem, which may only be solved through a legal framework that restricts preventable benzene emissions to protect human health and holds industrial companies accountable for violations of such regulations and standards. This analysis explores legal barriers that the City of Houston and other relevant agencies currently face in their attempt to demand and bring about such change. ^

Planificación urbana y declive industrial: el papel del planeamiento en la evolución de la estructura productiva de Detroit tras la segunda guerra mundial

Son pocas las ocasiones en que se cuenta con fuentes documentales que permitan analizar las relaciones entre planificación urbana y evolución industrial de una ciudad. Sin embargo, los informes y planes publicados por la Detroit City Plan Commission tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial proporcionan la oportunidad de estudiar estas implicaciones en una de las ciudades industriales más paradigmáticas. El objetivo de este artículo es valorar el papel de la planificación urbana de posguerra en la evolución de la estructura productiva de Detroit en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. El estudio de los documentos parece apuntar a que el planeamiento pudo contribuir a definir un modelo productivo rígido y excluyente que sentó las bases del posterior declive de la ciudad

La arquitectura industrial de Antonio Palacios. Estudio de casos y perspectivas de futuro

Antonio Palacios, relevante arquitecto de principios del s.XX, responsable de emblemáticos edificios del centro de la capital (Círculo de Bellas Artes, Palacio de Correos...), es también autor de otro tipo de arquitectura mucho menos conocida. En colaboración con el ingeniero Carlos Mendoza diseñó varios ejemplos de carácter industrial, como la Central Hidroeléctrica de Mengíbar (1914-1916, Jaén), y el Metro de Madrid. En 1917 es nombrado arquitecto oficial de la Compañía del Ferrocarril Metropolitano Alfonso XIII (de la que Mendoza también era socio). Ostenta este cargo hasta su fallecimiento en 1945. A lo largo de estos casi treinta años consigue modelar una imagen corporativa que se extiende desde las estaciones, bocas y templetes hasta los edificios auxiliares. Analizaremos el estado en que se encuentra actualmente este patrimonio industrial, distinguiendo entre los casos que han sido restaurados (Nave de Motores de Pacífico, estación de Chamberí), los que están en desuso (subestación de Quevedo, cocheras de Cuatro Caminos) y los que han desaparecido (templetes de Sol y Gran Vía), y compararemos estos ejemplos con otros edificios industriales de Palacios, como las Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Mengíbar y del Tambre.
