Planners Training
SynergiCity
With a particular emphasis on the Rust Belt of the American Midwest, SynergiCity argues that cities such as Detroit, St. Louis, and Peoria must redefine themselves to be globally competitive. This revitalization is possible through environmentally and economically sustainable restoration of industrial areas and warehouse districts for commercial, research, light industrial, and residential uses. The volume's expert researchers, urban planners, and architects draw on the redevelopment successes of other major cities--such as the American Tobacco District in Durham, North Carolina, and the Milwaukee River Greenway--to set guidelines and goals for reinventing and revitalizing the postindustrial landscape.
Contributors are Paul J. Armstrong, Donald K. Carter, Lynne M. Dearborn, Norman W. Garrick, Mark L. Gillem, Robert Greenstreet, Craig Harlan Hullinger, Paul Hardin Kapp, Ray Lees, Emil Malizia, John O. Norquist, Christine Scott Thomson, and James H. Wasley.
"Instead of handing over neighborhoods to city hall or private developers, this book shows that the solution to many cities' plights lies within them. Empowering residents to take control of and build on community assets, engaging them in community-based organizations that can spearhead revitalization and build real quality of place, yields real results. To the extent that they adopt a holistic approach to planning and build on a city's intrinsic strengths, they can accomplish miracles."--from the foreword by Richard Florida

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s
“Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s”? In many European countries, religion comes at a price: If you want the services of a religious community — for marriages, burial, and other activities — you pay a tax. (In Germany, for example, there is an 8 percent surcharge on your income tax bill.) A very nice Finnish study by Teemu Lyytikäinen and Torsten Santavirta, “The Effect of Church Tax on Church Membership” (Journal of Population Economics, forthcoming), uses this institution to examine the demand curve for religion. http://www.freakonomics.com/2012/11/20/the-demand-curve-for-religion/
High Speed Rail in Illinois
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Governor Pat Quinn, Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann L. Schneider and Amtrak officials today announced that 110 mph rail service has started on a 15-mile segment along the Chicago-St. Louis corridor just in time for the heavily traveled Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Today's announcement represents a historic step towards the establishment of a high-speed rail network in Illinois, one of Governor Quinn's key priorities as he works to modernize the state's infrastructure.
"This next generation rail system gives passengers a safer, more reliable way to travel across Illinois and connect with family this holiday season," Governor Quinn said. "Today's announcement demonstrates significant progress on this major transportation initiative that will continue to boost Illinois' economy and make sure our state has the best rail system in the nation."
Starting today, Amtrak Lincoln Service trains will operate at a maximum speed of 110 mph between Dwight and Pontiac. These include northbound Trains 300, 302, 304, and southbound Trains 301, 305, and 307. Other Amtrak trains on the Chicago-St. Louis corridor will continue to operate at 79 mph top speeds, including the Texas Eagle (trains 21/321/421 and 22/322/422).
"Governor Quinn's leadership and guidance on implementing high-speed rail service has been instrumental in moving this major infrastructure project forward," Secretary Schneider said. "We are extremely proud to introduce 110 mile per hour rail service to Illinois Amtrak passengers for the very first time, and look forward to continual progress in bringing enhanced services to riders along the corridor."
In addition, select Amtrak Lincoln Service trains will have also free AmtrakConnect(TM) Wi-Fi service throughout the coaches, business class seating and in the cafes. Passengers are advised to look for the Illinois High-Speed Rail logo and AmtrakConnect posters on Trains 300, 301, 304, and 305.
"Regular operations at 110 mph for six daily Amtrak Lincoln Service trains are a major milestone in the development of our Chicago Hub network," said Amtrak President & CEO Joe Boardman. "Combined with our high-speed trains in Michigan, this means Amtrak now has a total of 14 daily trains to and from Chicago that operate at 110 mph."
The 15-mile segment showcases major infrastructure improvements, state-of-the-art signaling, and significant technological and safety advancements. The 110 mph service is projected to be in place along nearly 75 percent of the Chicago-St. Louis corridor by 2015, reducing travel time by more than an hour.
As the transportation hub of the Midwest, Illinois is a national leader in passenger rail expansion. Total ridership on Amtrak's four Illinois routes has grown nearly 75 percent over the past six years, rising to more than 2.1 million passengers last year. Ridership on today's Chicago-St. Louis Lincoln Service alone has doubled in that time period. When completed, trains traveling from Chicago to St. Louis will reach top speeds matching those of trains now traveling between Chicago and Detroit, the fastest passenger trains in North America outside of the East Coast.
Today's announcement follows the recent awarding of a $352 million multi-state procurement contract to design, build and deliver 130 bi-level passenger railcars for use in California and the Midwest, including the Chicago to St. Louis corridor. The contract will now allow Rochelle, Illinois-based vendor Nippon-Sharyo/Sumitomo Corporation of America to move forward as the builder of the railcars, the first of which are slated for delivery in fall 2015.

House in the Road
Amazing photo. It seems a homeowner would not sell his home so the government built the new road around him.
A car stops beside a house in the middle of a newly built road in Wenling, Zhejiang province, November 22, 2012. An elderly couple refused to sign an agreement to allow their house to be demolished. They say that compensation offered is not enough to cover rebuilding costs, according to local media. (Reuters/China Daily) 
And this happened in Communist China where I thought the government would roll over a citizen. The times they are a changin.

Parklets
Cool Idea Category: In recent years, a number of communities have begun experimenting with “parklets” – temporarily turning the asphalt of parking spaces into small, on-the-street spots of greenery and seating – to enliven the streetscape experience and provide more outdoor seating for restaurants and cafes. The New Partners conference will showcase five parklet model experiences inside the Kansas City Convention Center, to demonstrate for participants what a parklet is, and how it can transform a couple of under-utilized parking spaces into exciting opportunities for creating more vibrant (parking) spaces in your community. What is a Parklet? A parklet is a small urban park, often created by replacing several under-utilized parallel parking spots with a patio, planters, trees, benches, café tables with chairs, fountain(s), artwork, sculptures and/or bicycle parking. Parklets are designed to provide a public place for citizens to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the city around them, in places where either current urban parks are lacking or if the existing sidewalk width is not large enough to accommodate vibrant street life activities. Parklets can be designed to be either permanent fixtures, or can be designed to be temporary/seasonal in places where snow removal is a concern.

Professor Efraim Gil
Efraim Gil was an outstanding man, city planner and professor. We knew him for many years while he taught Environmental and City Planning at Governors State University in the southern suburbs of Chicago. He was a dedicated and effective community leader. He was very well informed and always gave back to the community.
Efraim also served as a City Planning Consultant, assisting numerous communities in their planning efforts. He wrote Comprehensive Plans and Zoning Ordinances for a number of communities, including Kankakee City and Kankakee County.
Dr. Gil received his B.A. in Political Science from San Jose State University, his masters in community planning from the University of Cincinnati and his doctorate in public administration from the University of Illinois. He was a professor at Governors State University in Illinois for 30 years. Dr. Gil was a life-long proponent of "communities of loving care" believing that people of all faiths could learn to live together in a way that supported each other and protected planet Earth.
Efraim had an incredible life story. He was born in the old Soviet Union in the Ukraine under Stalin and the Communists. Not an easy life for a young child.
When he was a young boy the Nazi's invaded and conquered Chernovitz, where he lived. His Father had already left with the Russian Army to fight the Nazis. The Nazis rounded up all the Jews from his neighborhood, and Efraim, his Mother and his 6 month old brother were transported by cattle car, barge, and forced march. They were interred, along with 250,000 other Jewish prisoners in a Jewish Village to the north, Jurin, which was enclosed with barbed wire and became a prison camp. Efraim talked of hardship, hunger and fear. But he also talked about Ukranian people who brought food to the residents, slipping it through the barbed wire into the camp.
Four years later word came that the Soviets were reconquering the area, but that the Nazis were killing the Jews in the camps as they retreated. The Rumanian and Nazi guards had run, and in the resulting chaos Efraim, his Mother, and Brother along with many other Jews cut the barbed wire and ran into the woods. Efraim was separated from his Mother and wandered in the woods for several days. Eventually, they were reunited and returned to Jurin which was now free of Nazis.
When the Soviets reconquered the area the residents wanted to kill the Nazi prison guards. But the Rabbi said no - we are not like that. The Communist soldiers quickly shot the Nazi guards and ended that situation.
Efraim's father died during the war. His mother decided to send Efraim with a youth group traveling to what was then Jewish Palestine. Efraim traveled by train across Europe with this group. Each border crossing took a different strategy, sometimes claiming to be a citizen of the next country. Efraim arrived in Holland with his group, and then went on to Israel. In Israel he lived in Kibbutz Kfar Glickson. As an adult, he joined the Israeli Navy and fought in the Suex Canal campaign.
scape the Soviet Union, taking Efraim and his younger brother with her. At each country border she would claim to be a citizen of the next country heading east to freedom.
Efraim’s Mother had planned to follow him to Israel within six months with his Brother. However, the Soviets closed the borders and Efraim did not see her for 22 years.
After the Navy, Efraim wanted to go to school in America but could not get a Visa. He was permitted to go to Cuba to begin college. He was in school when the Communists began their take over in Cuba. He talked of hearing gunfire while in the classroom. He finally made it to America and finished college.
Efraim became a City Planner and worked for ASPO (The American Society of Planning Officials). He researched and wrote numerous articles about city planning.
He took his wife and family back to Israel where he served as the County Engineer for Jerusalem County. As a citizen of Israel he was also a member of the Army Reserve. He served in the Israeli Army in the North during the war.
He was reunited with his mother and brother who immigrated from the Soviet Union to Israel. He told a humorous story- his mother had forbidden him to speak Yiddish. But he had learned the language from his Grandparents who had sworn him to secrecy, and he never told his Mother. She was was not really surprised but said “I knew it” with a some frustration.
Efraim spoke numerous languages. He spoke German, Russian, Yiddish, Spanish, English, and Hebrew.
Returning to the United States he became a Professor at Governors State University in the College of Environmental Science. Efraim also formed a consulting firm with his wife Enid Lucchesi Gil. They worked on numerous city planning consulting projects in the Chicago metropolitan region.
Efraim was very proud of his childen, Naomi Abramovitz (Samuel) and Daniel Shimon Gil (Shoshannah Fineberg). He told us that he and his wife had the perfect Jewish family - his son was studying to be a Rabbi and Jewish folk song musician, and his daughter became an attorney, and she married a Doctor.
Efraim was a voice of moderation and tolerance. He would summarize our sometimes rancorous national political elections. He was fond of saying that at the end of the day our choice was not between a Nazi and a Communist, it was between a Republican and a Democrat, two good
individuals.
Efraim was a quality individual and a leader and teacher in urban and environmental planning. He contributed to our society and country. We miss him.

Detroit's Plan to Create a Talented Community
The Director of our National Talent Dividend, Noël Harmon, coauthored an article on the Huffington Post this past week highlighting some of the incredible efforts underway in Detroit to attract and retain talent in the city-- and we wanted to highlight the 15x15 Initiative and a couple other great programs once more. Originated by the Hudson-Webber Foundation, 15x15 aims to attract 15,000 young, talented households to Greater Downtown Detroit by 2015. This initiative involves a wide variety of components-- involving focus on physical revitalization, economic development, arts, safety, and the Live Midtown program. Live Midtown and Live Detroit (a program of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit administered by CommunityNEXT) are both innovative residential programs representing collaborations with a wide host of partners which provide incentives for purchasing or renting homes in the greater Downtown Detroit neighborhood. The Hudston-Webber foundation has also partnered with Downtown Detroit Partnership to create D:hive as part of the 15x15 Initiative-- a unique, 3-year initiative assisting existing and new Detroiters to Live, Work and Engage in Detroit. We applaud the success of these wonderful organizations, and urge you all to check out their incredible work by clicking the logos above!
