Describe the elements of a commission form of city government as devised in the Galveston Plan of 1901.

History
1 answer:
Pavel [41]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

City Commission Government is a form of government organization created in 1901 by the Galveston Plan, with the aim of creating multi-person local governments, in which decisions do not depend on the will or judgment of a single mayor, but on a group of people who will decide the issues that are presented through majority votes.

In this context, the Galveston Plan stipulated that these groups should be 5 or 7 people, so that there is no possibility of a tie in terms of decision-making criteria, which would be counterproductive since it would slow down the entire decision-making process. In this way, the simple majority defines the decisions of the Commission.

In addition, this system encourages the selection of specialized people in different areas of the administration, with the aim that the Commission can solve different specific issues with specially trained people.

Lastly, all commissioners would be equal in their role on the Commission; A Senior Commissioner should be appointed only for the purposes of public government representation, but the latter does not have greater prerogatives regarding decision-making.

GeoDesign majors are never confined to the classroom. Whether in a state-of-the-art graphics studio, an interactive research lab, or offsite geography course, GeoDesign majors benefit by working closely with faculty on important study and research.

Venture even further afield by conducting primary research over the summer with world-renowned experts and faculty in international locations. Apply urban planning, geospatial technologies and environmental design principles from abroad to address a Los Angeles-area societal challenge.

GeoDesign majors have presented their geography studies and other research at numerous conferences around the country tacking topics such as:

light pollution affecting wildlife, the human experience, and astronomical observations throughout the US National Park System;
spatial aspects of adapting to climate change and the specific risks for cities in the US and around the world;
spatial inequities in access to water throughout Greater LA;
spatial complexities and institutional racism in City of Los Angeles hospital facilities;
3D visualization of building exteriors and interiors to generate real-time routes for emergency responder, disability access, strategic planning, and other essential services; and
spatial inequities in those eligible for and utilizing the Cal-Fresh Benefits program.
Be among the first. Our unique academic collaboration and combination of approaches from architecture, planning, and geospatial science, make the USC B.S. in GeoDesign the first undergraduate interdisciplinary program of its kind.
