Detailed position requirements: www.walkermacy.com Historic American Landscapes Survey Guidelines It is a pleasure to inform you that the final drafts of the three guidelines for landscape documentation have been posted on the HALS Website. http://www.cr.nps.gov/habshaer/hals/ The three guidelines include measured drawings, written history and large-format photography. The first drafts were produced respectively by The Jaeger Company, Robinson and Associates with Noel D. Vernon, and Tom Lamb from information gathered at symposia on the three topics and from existing HABS and HAER guidelines. Please
treat these as working documents that will change and develop as
we build the HALS archive. Amendments and changes will be posted
on the HABS/HAER/HALS Website and every attempt will be made to
inform all Thank you for your continued support of HALS. We have approximately 40 ongoing projects across the United States and interest keeps growing. Sincerely, Paul
D. Dolinsky, Chief Promoting Physical Activity and Health by Urban Design Booklet On November 4, 2003 the Harvard School of Public Health and the Harvard Design held a conference in Boston titled "Promoting Physical Activity and Health by Urban Design." One of the outcomes of that conference was the testing of pilot products in the Boston area that would enable physical activity for all populations. With funding from an anonymous foundation and partners of the Harvard School of Public Health, The Cecil Group, Inc., WalkBoston, and Mystic Scenic Studios, Inc. the community of Arlington was selected for testing the pilots. Arlington had an effective Arlington Transportation Advisory Committee, a successful Safe Routes to School organization, and the cooperation of the Arlington Selectmen, police, and public works department. Arlington also had a high level of awareness about bicycling, jogging, in-line skating, and walking due to the existence of the Minuteman Trail.
Some of the suggested pilot products were too expensive to test
in the field and therefore we discussed these designs through three
scenarios and renderings in a booklet. The Cecil Group, Inc. put
together the booklet that was written by Anne Lusk, Ph.D., at the
Harvard School of Public Health and Jonathan Harris at The Cecil
Group, Inc. We wanted to send you a copy of this booklet because
we know that you are encouraging more physical activity in the Boston
area. The booklet is available online at www.hsph.harvard.edu/healthdesign Thank
you for your interest in this topic. If you wish to ask any questions,
please feel free to contact Anne Lusk, Ph.D 617-432-7076 or Jonathan
Harris 617-426-5050. AIA
