Ebook The Case for Mixed-Income Transit-Oriented Development in the Denver Region
Submitted by puput on Wed, 12/02/2009 - 04:09The passage of the “FasTracks” ballot measure by metro Denver voters in 2004 signaled the start of a new era of transportation, growth and development in the area. FasTracks has terrific potential to deliver on its promises of reduced congestion, livable neighborhoods and greater economic competitiveness, but its success is dependent on the kind of development that grows up around new and existing transit stations.
Well-planned “transit-oriented development” (TOD) can foster greater use of FasTracks light rail by encouraging housing, retail and office developments in the districts around transit stops. Incorporating affordable housing into TODs presents opportunities to meaningfully address the region’s growing affordability crisis by tackling housing and transportation costs simultaneously while expanding access to jobs, educational opportunities and prosperity for the many households living in the Denver region.

Ebook A Guide to Photographic Documentation in the Field by Janice M. Glowski

I have seen even the most experienced photographers/scholars sigh in dismay over lost, forgotten, or blurred photographs.

PDF Ebook Debt Management Handbook
Submitted by antoq on Mon, 07/06/2009 - 01:20Debt management is an important part of municipal financial management. It involves planning, budgeting, accounting and public relations. Proper debt management can mean the difference be tween control ling debt and being controlled by it.
Debt management is important to the overall financial administration of a municipality. If a municipality incurs debt, it should do so only with proper planning and awareness of the impact the debt will have on its overall finances. Debt commits future revenues to its repayment, requiring elected officials to make provisions for it far into the future. Without proper perspective and preparation, the municipality’s debt, as any household budget, could get out of hand and create financial difficulties. It is also possible to back unconsciously into a difficult financial position by accumulating year-end deficits, much like a household that overextends its use of credit. Proper management of debt helps to avoid these problems.
