Mechanistic modes of city planning evolved during the industrial revolution and have produced uniform-looking cities and suburbs that are cut off from their ecosystems. There is now a trend towards using 'green' principles in city planning on such issues as density, land use and water.

The "urban renewal" project [Sam Katz] has presented to Premier Gary Doer and senior Manitoba MP Vic Toews could result in a new connection between the Louise Bridge and the Disraeli Freeway and a new waterfront along the Red, the mayor suggested as he singled out Higgins Avenue as a key to a Point Douglas puzzle he would still prefer to keep under wraps.
You've got Higgins, you have the Louise Bridge, you have the Disraeli. We have so much work to do and unfortunately we were never given the opportunity -- and they're all linked together," said Katz, describing South Point Douglas as plan's linchpin.
Unlike North Point Douglas, a residential neighbourhood blessed with character homes and a renewed sense of community, much of the South Point Douglas waterfront remains industrial. "Jus...

Re: [Rosser] rejects city's offer to annex land (Jan. 7.) Mayor Sam Katz doesn't have time for Rosser's nonsense and games? The land that Winnipeg wants to annex generates about $543,000 in tax revenues, which is probably a fraction of a per cent of Winnipeg's annual budget. It, however, represents over a third of Rosser's annual budget. This isn't a game for Rosser. We're taking this very seriously.
The creation of a special planning area would make a single body responsible for zoning and land-use planning. No tie-ins by Rosser to the water and sewer means that the City of Winnipeg can be confident that Rosser won't be growing on Winnipeg's dime. And free passage through Rosser means that water and sewer development in the proposed business park and general industrial areas of CentreP...

The article "Seven Challenges to Combining Human and Automated Service" is an admirable effort to build on the knowledge required for service organizations in the modern economy. Relating to Challenge 1 (identifying the key issues of managing a hybrid service system), the authors' proposed conceptual framework is explicitly designed to address the fact that co-creation of value-in-use involves employment of customer resources together with employee and automated resources. It would be desirable, however, for the discussion to have greater recognition of the potential role of customers in co-production, especially recognizing that the efforts of third parties can be harnessed as part of the system. Challenge 7 (coordinate interdisciplinary activities) highlights a crucial aspect of manag...

Recent studies of publication patterns in accounting history portray a myopic and introspective discipline. Analyses reveal the production and dissemination of accounting history knowledge which focus predominantly on Anglo-American settings and the age of modernity. Limited opportunities exist for contributions from scholars working in languages other than English. Many of the practitioners of accounting history are also shown to be substantially disconnected from the wider community of historians. It is argued in the current paper that interdisciplinary history has the potential to enhance theoretical and methodological creativity and greater inclusivity in the accounting history academy. A practical requirement for this venture is the identification of points of connectedness between...
