RURAL PRESERVATION PLANNING: INDIAN HILL, OHIO; CARMEL, CALIFORNIA; REDLANDS, FLORIDA

BAUM, CHARLES MUNZ

Abstract Details

2005, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Community Planning.
The role of planners in land use and zoning is quite natural. The lack of planning is characterized by sprawl or other unattractive land use mixture where an area is perhaps not as pleasant as it could have been. Therefore whenever planning practice not only successfully prevents urban sprawl but indeed helps in the creation and preservation of a unique place, it certainly would seem worth examining. Since urban planners are predisposed to look at the planning and implementation of community development in urban or built-up city places, the field’s role in the proactive preservation of non-urban areas within the framework of a larger planned region seems pivotal and fascinating because it best illustrates and isolates land use planning itself, apart from the physical built form, which is the realm of architects. Regional planning should not be exclusively defined as concrete structural planning, with rural preservation being the forgotten stepchild, relegated to undevelopable waste lands. If such is the case, the regional planner has not done an excellent job. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the importance of and the need for the preservation of rural places within larger urban regions. This research project attempts to more closely examine the role of the planner in rural or natural preservation and the inherent benefits to society of such preservation. Specifically, I will look at three diverse communities at separate corners of the United States which are linked only by the commonality of uniquely preserving some rural quality which stands in contrast to neighboring and otherwise comparable communities.
