“First, we must consider the legacy of “placemaking” — and what the word “place” truly means for Black Americans.

Place as routes designed to confine the movement of Black people being treated as cargo and goods, not as human beings

Place as watchtowers to track and police the movement of enslaved people

Place as town square for spectatorship of Black trauma and lynching

Place as slave quarters for forced laborers that are not seen as worthy of decent living conditions

Place as an agent of bondage

Place as home to three-fifths of a human

Place as the severing of kinship ties

Everywhere we look, urbanist practices and our built environment itself continue to be place-based manifestations of racist ideology and the institutions of slavery.

“While many call for the arrest of the officers that murdered Breonna Taylor, I am calling for the arrest of every system, structure, and policy that engendered her death—starting with urbanism.

Here are just some of the ways that the fields of urban planning, transportation planning, architecture, and civil engineering can meet this moment and answer the call for collective design-centric reparations in the built environment.

Cargo/Freight Prohibition and Revenue Tax. Prohibition of transit storage/maintenance facilities and cargo/freight movement through communities with high concentrations of Black residents, coupled with the redistribution of a percentage of all revenues deriving from freight/rail, rideshare and gas stations to Black American descendants of slavery

Wayfinding Recall and Mobility Fine Reversal. Removal of hostile wayfinding, directional signage and pavement markings that impose Eurocentric superiority through forced movement patterns and travel behaviors in the built environment; coupled with the cancellation of all mobility and transportation-related fees/fines imposed on Black people

Deep Planning and No/Low-Cost Freedom of Movement. Comprehensive, long-range network and public works planning that honors freedom of movement and mode choice through design elements, coupled with free and subsidized transportation, regardless of mode

Divest from Policing and Invest in Service Provisions. Divest from enforcement and policing as a programmatic component of urban planning, coupled with direct investments in Black service providers that meet the behavioral health and resource navigation needs of Black communities

Public Works Prioritization and Universal Basic Income. Moratorium on quick-build transportation and land-use elements in communities that need roadway reconstruction, signal enhancements, accessible pedestrian infrastructure, drainage and floodplain planning/development, and the removal of toxic industry and public works infrastructure. Because extensive reconstruction and repairs are so disruptive and have such long construction timelines, this intervention must be coupled with a universal basic income in neighborhoods undergoing extensive repair and upgrades to prevent displacement of existing residents

Community Planning and Workforce Reclassification. Implementation of a community planning model that reclassifies civil service planning roles by removing academic and background requirements that privilege technical training over lived experience; coupled with a direct low-barrier pathway to civil service for planners/engineers from or living directly in the proposed project areas

Transit Enhancements and Neighborhood Network Connectivity. Enhanced transit amenities, heated/cooling shelter at stops, benches, and boarding docks in communities with high concentrations of Black residents, coupled with prioritizing comprehensive investments in neighborhood transit networks over commuter and Bus Rapid Transit routes that move non-Black commuters through Black communities at the expense of community connectivity and neighborhood network planning

oakland community land trust

Land Trusts, Cooperatives, and Civil Fee Waivers. Fund and subsidize land trusts and cooperatives granting Black communities autonomy in project development; coupled with no-cost access to permits and technical services throughout every phase of project development (including maintenance) in perpetuity

Land Use Reparations Boards and Redevelopment Revenue Distribution. Implementation of local and state-level land-use reparations boards to oversee funding proposals, exclusionary zoning, renewal, and revitalization practices and to establish guidelines for restorative land use measures for all zoning, capital and redevelopment projects; coupled with the allocation of a percentage of all redevelopment revenues to Black residents in the project area

Restorative Zoning and Right-of-Return. Ban speculation and rapid re-development in Black communities. Rezone all predominantly white and high income neighborhoods to allow multi-family unit development, coupled with right-of-return programs, lien dismissals, and payouts as a direct act of atonement for the legacy and impacts of unjust sharecropper arrangements, restrictive covenants, redlining, predatory lending, and rapid redevelopment

Impose Moratorium on Prison Development and Enact Fair Chance Housing. Impose a moratorium on the construction of new prisons and divert funds to housing stabilization, public health, education, and direct services for Black people, coupled with policies that prohibit the consideration of criminal records during housing eligibility determination processes

Homeowner Subsidies and Real Estate Revenue Redistribution. Subsidize downpayment and revitalization costs for Black homeowners/buyers; coupled with easement/eminent domain protections and redirecting a percentage of revenues from real estate transactions to Black communities

Surveillance Prohibition and Tech Tax. Prohibition on the use of technology affixed to infrastructure for the purposes of tracking, surveillance, and enforcement in Black communities; coupled with a redistribution of tech and data industry, rideshare, and micro-mobility revenues to Black-owned businesses and service providers

Anti-Displacement and Racial Composition as Factors in Environmental Protections. Incorporate anti-displacement and prevention of cultural erasure as environmental protections within regulatory environmental review processes (like the National Environmental Policy Act); coupled with the removal of categorical exemptions from environmental review processes where the project footprint is in an area with high concentrations of Black residents. Limit the number of times (and the duration of time) an environmental review process can be used to authorize development in a project area

I suggest the above structural solutions for one reason: because I am not willing to wait for a personal transformation to happen in the hearts and minds of every American, and I can’t commit my life to convincing people that I am worthy of decency and retribution.

a mural dedicated to breonna taylor. flickr/mtumesoul

“Reparations and structural change are necessary, non-negotiable next steps for every industry. Breonna Taylor should be alive and her neighborhood should not have to grapple with literal displacement while mourning her death. While our elected officials convene research boards and advisory councils, cities, agencies, and organizations can act — and begin a process of true atonement today.”

‘The Flash Gordon of Architecture’: Helmut Jahn’s Bombastic Marvels – In Pictures

He took the power-dressing pomp of the 1980s and directed it at banks, airports and corporate HQs. Here are some of the greatest buildings of the German-American architect, who has died aged 81

— May 11, 2021 | Guardian USA

One Liberty Place, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Helmut Jahn was one of the most flamboyant architects of the postwar era. The German-American developed a bold, bombastic form, designing company headquarters, banks, airports and government buildings across the world that caught the power-dressing pomp of the 1980s. This skyscraper, completed in 1987, burst through Philly’s height limit. (Left)

Interior atrium of Sony Center in Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, Germany! His 1988 Sony Center was conceived as an open public forum beneath a billowing fabric umbrella. When the chairman of Sony viewed the model, he said: ‘Where are the doors?’ Jahn said: ‘There are no doors.’ And the boss said: ‘But then everybody can come in.’ Jahn replied: ‘You got it!’ (Right)

Cosmopolitan residential tower, Warsaw, Poland! ‘I don’t think there’s anything wrong in using a building to connote achievement and a certain commercial power,’ Jahn once said. ‘Great statesmen, great emperors, great dictators always build great buildings.’

Messeturm, Fair Tower, Frankfurt am Main! After obtaining his undergraduate architecture degree at in Munich, Jahn moved to Chicago to study under modernist maestro Ludwig Mies van der Rohe at the Illinois Institute of Technology. He left without graduating, after refusing to follow the tutors’ briefs. (Left)

United Airlines Terminal, Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Chicago, Illinois! In 1988, Jahn transformed the dull airport arrival experience with a kaleidoscopic tunnel, in collaboration with Canadian neon artist Michael Hayden. (Right)

Suvarnabhumi international airport in Bangkok, Thailand! Jahn’s style has been described as a kind of romantic hi-tech, his buildings often celebrating their inner workings. As he put it: ‘We do not construct decoration, we decorate construction.’ (Left)

Cityspire, Manhattan, New York! Jahn’s popularity waned as his buildings became tied to the excess of previous eras. He would complain of clients being too risk-averse. (Right)

425 Lexington Avenue, New York City! Fond of Versace suits and fedora hats, Jahn drove Porsche Carreras, owned several racing yachts, and always drew with a Montblanc fountain pen. Nicknamed Flash Gordon, he appeared on the cover of GQ magazine in 1985. (Left)

Park Avenue tower, Midtown Manhattan, New York! Criticising the attitude of big tech companies, one of his chief complaints was their loss of a sense of style. ‘They are no longer concerned with their image,’ he said. ‘In the past these people would wear stylish suits and now they run around in T-shirts.’

LA / HIGH BEAMS

HIGH BEAMS January 4 - January 26, 2020 Opening Reception: Saturday, January 4, 2020 from 7-10 pm

[Images]

Tiger Strikes Asteroid Los Angeles is pleased to announce an exhibition titled HIGH BEAMS featuring work by Chris Burnside, Christopher Dunlap, Kate Harding, Sarah Heinemann, Gyun Hur, Gabriel Hurier, Andy Kolar, Ryan Scails, and Karen Tepaz curated by Lacey Fekishazy, the founder/director of SARDINE in Brooklyn, New York. There will be a reception for the artists Saturday, January 4, 2020 from 7-10 pm and the show will be on view through Sunday, January 26, 2020.

The title HIGH BEAMS is a literal reference to the setting of an automobile's headlights, which brighten a longer distance in front of the car. This setting is particularly useful on dark roads to avoid accidents and improving vision and therefore driver response. While these beams clarify the more distant road on clear nights at higher speeds, they can also blind other drivers or reduce the vision and speed of the driver in fog, rain, or snow. Curator Lacey Fekishazy chose the artists in this group exhibition for their intuitive insight, long haul dedication to process, and their ability to brighten of the future in a darkening world. While the work is an illumination, it can also accent the invisible just before us.

HIGH BEAMS is part of #ArtistRun2020, a year-long exploration of artist-run spaces from all around the country organized by Tiger Strikes Asteroid and Trestle Gallery.

New Post has been published on %http://paulbenedictsgeneralstore.com%

News No, Mr. President, healthcare workers aren’t stealing masks. You failed them. - The Washington Post

News

On Sunday evening President Trump immediate that there modified into once a flawed cause that Unique York’s hospitals are operating out of masks. His implication perceived to be that healthcare workers who are combating for patients’ lives may per chance possibly neatly be stealing masks or hospitals were the exercise of them in an sinful formula, despite the undeniable truth that Trump stated he wasn’t accusing them of doing so.

Nonetheless this kind of advice has no foundation in point of fact. As a replace, given the chance to put together hospitals and neatly being-care workers for the expected inflow of covid-19 patients, the Trump administration did no longer capture action to develop up gives of the very major equipment consultants knew may per chance possibly well be wished. Indeed, the administration has up to now refused to make exercise of the Protection Manufacturing Act, or DPA, to ramp up manufacturing of even rather frequent but very major scientific gives, irrespective of many pressing calls to enact so. And now there is a lack of non-public conserving equipment (PPE), equivalent to masks and utterly different gear for neatly being-care workers, which threatens the lives of these very major consultants and can also crush the neatly being-care system even more impulsively.

There's an pressing want to safe very major conserving gear to the these that want it. Without ample PPE on hand, public neatly being officials are turning to donations from laboratories, tattoo and nail parlors, and building companies. U.S. producers equivalent to 3M and Honeywell maintain launched plans to safe conserving gear. There maintain even been calls for laypeople to sew masks at dwelling from supplied scientific-grade fabric or from their dwelling stores of fabric, the exercise of the total lot from vacuum baggage to air-con filters to develop masks for clinicians to make exercise of.

Nonetheless why are such simple, low-tech and somewhat low-payment devices equivalent to PPE so hard to search out lawful now within the primary station? In section, this shortage may per chance also be explained by global manufacturing chains, correct-in-time manufacturing suggestions and heart-broken public neatly being planning. Nonetheless the rapidly-onset shortage of PPE within the US all the plot throughout the coronavirus pandemic exposes a essential bigger structural and cultural station: the technological crucial in U.S. neatly being care. Over the final century, a deeply ingrained cultural preference has developed for excessive-tech, excessive-payment neatly being-care interventions, which in flip drives offer chains within the route of pricy, fresh interventions in station of our very accurate, a long way less animated want for day-to-day, low-tech or historical-tech materials. This technological crucial is so institutionalized that we as a society barely even ogle it, great less quiz it — however the hazards are on show cloak this day.

Within the 19th century, hospitals lacked the know-how we affiliate with neatly being care this day. As a replace, they were institutions of closing resort, locations for sick folks whose communities had deserted them to the care of strangers. In 1835, Philadelphia hospitals and almshouses organized females’s wards no longer by diagnosis, but by what kind of helpful work patients — then identified as inmates — may per chance possibly well enact for the health facility: “venerable and helpless females in disagreeable neatly being; venerable and helpless females who can sew and knit; venerable and helpless females who are splendid sewers” and, at closing, “spinners.” The patients in these early American institutions were charity patients, expected to shut a protracted time. And so, if they were bodily in a station, they were in general pressed into relate provider to preserve the health facility operating.

Spinning wool into thread modified into once about essentially the most respected work a affected person may per chance possibly well enact on the time. Thread modified into once wished for making and repairing bedsheets, curtains and nurses’ uniforms, to name correct a pair of devices very major to the functioning of these early institutions. Surplus thread may per chance possibly neatly be stored and saved for future exercise and even bought to beef up the work of the health facility.

As decades went by, medication and health facility care modified dramatically. As both public and non-public investment in science and medicine yielded fresh and effective therapeutics — deem vaccines, antibiotics and organ transplants, to name correct a pair of — the US’ non-public system of neatly being-care provisioning meant that medication impulsively modified into enormous industry within the country. American medication came to be characterised by its new and dear applied sciences, ideally housed in new and dear health facility constructions.

Dazzled and inspired by success stories, ads and their very contain experiences, many American citizens adopted a presumption that more fresh, dear applied sciences essentially equaled higher care. In that 2nd, with hospitals no longer a closing resort but a vaunted destination for care, it seemed more and more absurd to deem patients or neighboring laypeople is in general a section of establishing the materials or equipment which may per chance be stumbled on interior. Despite the undeniable truth that station females were and are aloof to this show cloak day called on to volunteer to knit hats for newborns, sew puppets for youths or devise and knit cannula sleeves for dementia patients, within the eyes of the stylish health facility and its directors, the worth of this labor paled in contrast with the therapeutic or financial capability of utterly different interventions and applied sciences.

At some stage within the 20th century, the expanding American middle class repeatedly demonstrated a preference and excitement for more fresh, dearer applied sciences. This modified into once no longer exact in each assign; many neatly being-care patrons in utterly different worldwide locations were and dwell skeptical of original know-how, preferring to wait till a new approach modified into once perfected outdated to making an are trying it out.

Nonetheless middle-class American citizens consistently chose more fresh and dear know-how — even if it modified into once untested — over more distribution of less costly know-how to all. This modified into once very exact for 3 key 20th-century technical therapeutic enhancements: the iron lung machine for the medication of polio, the attain of kidney dialysis and the invention of utterly different respirator treatments, equivalent to ventilators. At some stage in this era of rapid innovation in U.S. medication and building up of hospitals, laboratories, scientific plot makers and pharmaceutical companies, sick American citizens, namely these with financial capability, were recast — no longer identified as inmates, like their 19th-century counterparts, but as an alternative as neatly being-care patrons. Consumers’ choices within the neatly being-care arena drove no longer correct care choices but also enormous income. Basics equivalent to PPE couldn’t garner the identical excitement as new equipment.

As patrons, many of us are conditioned to say that bigger-tech interventions imply we're making improvements to care. An MRI exam appears worth more highly diagnostic love a minor hurt than an X-ray, which in flip appears higher than a physical exam on my own. In flip, our docs’ workplaces are incentivized to make investments in and offer these products and providers, even if they are no longer medically major. This cycle of offering treatments and diagnostics with bigger and bigger tech drives excessive utilization charges and excessive neatly being-care expenses within the United States, and too in general it does so with out evidence or higher outcomes.

There's nothing inherently disagreeable with liking new applied sciences: Our scientific know-how industries and scientific plot producers maintain created many effective, lifesaving therapeutics, produced millions of jobs and added tens of thousands and thousands of bucks to our economy each and each yr. Nonetheless if we enable ourselves to be romanced by the lure of keen new tech in neatly being care, inserting our resources and innovation efforts within the route of the new and the complicated, with out actually questioning whether we're the exercise of our resources properly or effectively, we glide the risk of neglecting older but major and effective applied sciences — equivalent to PPE and ventilators (once a new know-how, now an intervention nearly 100 years historical) — and which capability risking lives.

The PPE shortage for neatly being-care workers facing down covid-19 in our hospitals and clinics is basically the most standard harrowing installment in a protracted trend of prioritizing the bigger-tech, new, more highly a success ventures on the expense of utterly different sectors of the U.S. neatly being-care system. We must at all times all act now, in as many ways as wished — the exercise of advocacy, creativity and adaptability — to resolve the pressing #GetMePPE disaster within the US. And if we're making an are trying to avoid repeating this error, keen forward we must develop largely invisible social institutions — equivalent to the technological crucial in U.S. neatly being care — considered. We must at all times develop insurance policies that serve American citizens to be attentive to our costly and usually wrongheaded affinity for ticket new know-how, to quiz assumptions and to develop obvious that that we continuously, continuously maintain wide gives of low-tech, low-payment scientific equipment, equivalent to PPE, ready when we want it.

30 Facts About Bananas That Will Make You Go Bananas

New Post has been published on http://www.infolibrary.net/30-facts-about-bananas-that-will-make-you-go-bananas/

30 Facts About Bananas That Will Make You Go Bananas

The banana is a fruit many of us enjoy on a daily basis, whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, or just a snack. It has great versatility and such a complimentary flavor, that it’s used in a plethora of different cuisines and dishes, from curry to ice cream.

But how much do you know about the fruit salad favorite?

Here we’re going to look at 30 facts about the banana.

The banana made its name after it was sold wrapped in aluminum foil for 10 cents in the 1876 Philadelphia World Fair.

In Kalamazoo in 2011, the construction of a vehicle came to an end – this vehicle was an F-150 truck which became the “Big Banana Car.” At almost 23 feet (7 meters) long and 9.8 feet (3 meters) tall, this car has a top speed of around 85mph (136.8km/h).

If a person is allergic to bananas, or even avocados and chestnuts, they have an increased risk of being allergic to latex. There are some who say half of those allergic to latex are often allergic to bananas. This is due to the proteins within the banana.

The classic banana species we consumed was called the Gros Michel. It was a sweeter and creamier alternative to the modern banana, but due to a sweeping and catastrophic disease in 1965 across Central and Southern America, the farmers swapped to the modern variety.

If done daily, a wart can be removed in about 2 weeks by running the inner side of banana peel onto the infected area.

In 2016, a man from the U.K., Andrew Lawrence, ran 2 hours, 47 minutes and 41 seconds in a banana costume during the London marathon in order to secure the title of the fastest time to run a marathon whilst wearing a fruit costume.

The banana is scientifically a berry, whereas the strawberry is not. This comes down to the classification of a berry. A berry must contain seeds inside the flesh, not outside.

A U.S. study found that bananas can actually help lower your risk of stroke and heart attack due to the level of potassium they contain. They do this by lowering the risk of stiffness in the aorta and hardening in the arteries.

Singers Alicia Keys, Adele, and Katy Perry all have bananas as one of their backstage demands when performing.

A monkey peels a banana upside down when compared to our method, which is pinching the top and splitting the skin before peeling it down to reveal the fruit. This is an easier and less damaging method of peeling a banana.

Monsieur Mangetout was a Frenchman born in 1950, who was able to consume over 9 tons of metal in his life time but couldn’t stomach single banana, saying they made him feel sick.

The 1971 Woody Allen movie, “Bananas” made a whopping $11.8 million dollars, and appeared in numerous top hit lists including American Film Institute’s 2000 and AFI’s 100 years 100 laughs.

Around 0.074 lbs (33.57 g) of bananas per person per day are consumed in the U.S. alone. The largest consumer of bananas worldwide is Uganda where the average person consumes around 1‎⅓ lbs (605 g) of the fruit daily.

In 2015, a U.K. supermarket employee discovered five bags of class A drugs when unpacking a box of South American bananas, with a possible street value of over £1,000,000 (around $1.4 million) at the time.

The oils within the inside of a banana skin can actually help inflammation and itching caused by insect bites.

The perfect soil for growing bananas must contain a ph. of between 5.5 and 6.5 and must not be salty or too cold. One of the biggest problems for bananas is root rot which is caused by the soil being too cold, along with other factors.

A green banana has very high starch content – as the fruit yellows, this starch turns into sugars.

In 2010, an American man named Ashrita Furman took the title of “Most Bananas snapped in 1 minute” by breaking 99 of the yellow fruit with both hands in 60 seconds.

In 2012, a resident of Illinois managed to break a world record by peeling and consuming 8 whole bananas in 60 seconds.

In 2001, a bunch of bananas took the title of the “largest bunch of bananas.” It held 473 individual bananas or “fingers” and weighed a whopping 287lbs (130 kg). It was grown in the Canary Islands.

A banana is made of about 75% water, which isn’t very much compared to other healthy wonders like the cucumber or radish which has 96% and 95% respectively.

In 2018, a banana plant hidden in a Yorkshire van hire company’s office actually started to sprout fruit after being dormant for an entire decade.

The banana we all know and love is under threat from the same disease that struck the predecessor. Panama disease is rife amongst the Cavendish variety (the common variety) after being identified in Africa in the mid 2010’s.

The banana is produced asexually because it’s a sterile species, which makes it basically a clone of elder.

The Latin name for banana is “musa sapientum” which translates to fruit of the wise men.

A “Banana Republic” is a region that is solely sufficient on one single resource for its income.

Leather products like handbags or shoes can be polished with the inside of a banana skin, simply rub it on and wipe off with a rag.

The 2014, Ig Nobel Prize in Physics was won by a team who discovered the reason why bananas are so slippery. As it turns out, it is all down to the polysaccharide molecules in the peel, a substance also found in our joints.

We all know bananas flavoring tastes nothing like a real banana, but according to a Gros Michel cultivator (the original commercial banana), the artificial flavor does taste very similar to this variety.

In Cairo you can buy papyrus from market stalls which is most often built from banana leaves.

So there we have it, 30 facts to make you go bananas about, well… bananas. The humble curved fruit has an amazing array of health benefits and is actually invaluable in the hunt for the perfect prosthetic.

One thing is for certain, the lunchbox staple will now have a little more respect from me every day from now on.

Oil Water Separator Market Advanced TECH & growth opportunities in global Industry by 2025

Oil Water Separator: Market Overview

Waste water effluents from refineries, chemical/petrochemical plants, and gas processing plants have high amount of oils and suspended solids. The oil water separator is a device which is designed to separate these effluents from the wastewater. The American Petroleum Institute (API) maintains the standards and designs of these separators. The first API separator was installed in 1933 at the Atlantic Refining Company (ARCO) refinery in Philadelphia, U.S. almost all the refineries worldwide install API separators that act as a key stage of the oily wastewater treatment plants. Oil and water separators are also used in electrical substations. The transformers found in substations employ a large amount of oil for cooling purposes. Channels are constructed adjacent to the enclosed substations to catch any leaked oil and also rainwater is trapped. Therefore, oil and water separators provide a faster and easier cleaning of an oil leak.

The oil water separator also treats wastewater to a certain standard, wherein its discharge is considered safe into an approved discharge point (sewer). Oil water separators are typically the first stage of any wastewater treatment system. However, in some cases, an oil water separator can be used as effective completion of pipeline treatment equipment. Oils, grease, and other hydrocarbons are removed and non-hazardous water is left, which can be disposed off safely in the drainage. The ability of oil water separators make it possible for sensitive downstream equipment to perform as designed. The separators reduce overall operating cost and improve system maintenance.

Oil Water Separator Market: Dynamics and Trends

The oil water separator becomes a necessity to be utilized in cases where water is produced as a part of operation, discharge of this produced water is to be done into public, and where water authority compliance is to be achieved for the discharge. The type of wastewater being produced decides the exact type of oil water separator that has to be utilized.

The trends utilized in the oil water separator market is the removal of oil, grease, and other hydrocarbons by coalescing methods, which force oil droplets to be impinged on the surface area. Gravity-based separators operate by putting fluid velocity and its corresponding pressure in control. The latest technique of hydro cyclone applies extreme centrifugal forces, which separate the water and oil droplets. The technology related to building of pressure-rated separators can be configured for complex operations. These operations are separation of gas from a myriad of immiscible liquids and suspended solids with same or different specific gravities.

Boston-Cambridge Market is the No. 1 Life Sciences Cluster in the US

Boston – The U.S. life sciences industry and the real estate that it occupies have ridden a wave of momentum into this year that has positioned various industry hubs, from cornerstones such as Boston to emerging hotspots like Seattle, for outsized growth, according to a new report from CBRE.

That momentum has several markets ascendant on CBRE’s ranking of the top established and emerging life sciences hubs.

The Boston-Cambridge market, for example, is the No. 1 life sciences cluster in the U.S., has 1.9 million sq. ft. of lab space under construction, and received the largest amount of finding in the nation from the National Institutes of Health.

Steve Purpura

“Demand for laboratory space coupled with vacancy rates in the low single digits continues to apply upward pressure on rental rates in Boston-Cambridge,” said Steve Purpura, Vice Chairman leading CBRE’s Life Sciences business. “As the pace of innovation and growth in the life sciences industry continues to accelerate, it is safe to assume that the Boston-Cambridge Lab market will remain extremely tight for the foreseeable future.”

Numerous indicators point to robust expansion for the industry, including the 86 percent increase in venture-capital funding for U.S. life sciences companies to $15.8 billion for the year ended in September from the previous year. Additionally, life sciences lab space under construction in the industry’s five largest U.S. markets expanded by 101 percent last year to 6.0 million sq. ft.

CBRE’s report focuses on the human life-sciences industry, which encompasses manufacturing, testing and research-and-development work in the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

CBRE analyzed and ranked the top established life sciences hubs by weighing four main criteria for each market: number of scientists in key industry categories, industry funding for local life sciences companies, size and long-term growth of their life sciences workforce, and their inventory of industry lab space.

Top 10 Established Life Sciences Markets

Boston-Cambridge

6.) Washington, D.C.-Baltimore 2. San Francisco Bay Area 7.) New York City 3. San Diego 8.) Philadelphia 4. New Jersey 9.) Los Angeles 5. Raleigh-Durham 10.) Chicago

Beyond the established hubs, CBRE analyzed the next tier of emerging hubs to determine which are climbing quickly up the national ranks. CBRE ranked the emerging hubs based on their three-year growth in life sciences employment; NIH funding; quality and quantity of educational institutions for life sciences studies; number of medical research and health-services institutions; and their depth of high-tech workers. Nine met the criteria to be ranked as fast-growing, emerging hubs.

Top Emerging Life Sciences Hubs

Seattle

6. Denver 2. Houston 7. Dallas-Fort Worth 3. Austin 8. Atlanta 4. Minneapolis 9. Pittsburgh 5. St. Louis

“Multiple indicators point to sustained, strong growth for the life sciences industry, which makes life sciences labs and offices an ideal focus for developers and investors,” said CBRE’s Purpura. “Few industries offer this much expansion potential, but much of the activity happens in a select number of special markets.”
