Caphirian Imperial League and Housing in Urcea: Difference between pages

Revision as of 11:25, 13 July 2023

Housing in Urcea is a vital sector in the Urcean economy, with housing development and adjacent activity comprising approximately a tenth of all economic activity as of 2020. Urceans have strong social views on housing and housing strongly relates to Urcea's view of itself and its relationship with both private property and Catholic social teaching. Since the mid-20th century, disurbanist approaches have been popular in Urcea. Much of Urcea's housing stock was constructed in the form of low density suburban single family homes following the Second Great War, although since the 1980s the priority has shifted to even lower-density exurban development due to both environmental and social concerns.

In Urcea, housing policy issues are typically regulated by the Agency for Housing Development outside of cities and the Agency for Urban Development within cities. The Agency for Urban Development also works closely with the Agency for Royal Public Housing and Royal Dormitory Aid to identify and develop new public housing opportunities.

History and overview

Enclosure

Enclosure, the process by which land held in common is transferred to private ownership (especially within the context of the Feudal system) took place from approximately the end of the Saint's War in 1401 to the beginning of the Caroline Wars in 1740, during which time the vast majority of land held in common was enclosed for ownership. While much of the land was enclosed on behalf of local magnates, a great portion of it - especially following the weakening of the nobility during the Great Confessional War - was enclosed into relatively small parcels on behalf of the urban privilegiata. Unlike many other countries, however, anti-enclosure sentiments gained many successes in the period of the 17th century and onward. Balancing the various social classes became an increasing concern to the Apostolic King and His Governments in the wake of the social upheavel of the Great Confessional War and subsequent Gassavelian uprising. Accordingly, considerable amounts of common land began to be preserved beginning in 1620 onward, though these sentiments slowed rather than halted the process of enclosure. By 1740, further enclosure was prohibited by law, but conflicting and inconsistent land title deeds for enclosed lands existed, inaugurating more than two hundred years of legal disputes until land surveyance and commune reform efforts succeeded in in the 1950s.

Public housing

Public housing in Urcea is generally overseen by the Agency for Royal Public Housing and Royal Dormitory Aid or by provincial and local governments. Since the 1960s, the Agency has had specific policies for public housing, preferring to maintain single or multi-family rent controlled units within the same neighborhood within cities rather than tower blocks. The general prohibition on tower blocks came about largely as both an ideological one as well as problems encountered in constructing them in the Urceopolis borough of Campori following the Second Great War. The Agency is responsible for the general property maintenance of these facilities in conjunction with the occupants in the case of single family houses. Several "legacy" tower blocks public housing projects exist as well, especially in and around Urceopolis.

Private housing

Most Urceans live in a single family home or low-unit multi-family home according to surveys conducted over the course of the 2010s. Urcean society places a high value on home ownership, and private housing enjoys pride of place among types of housing in Urcea. As part of these efforts, the Agency for Royal Public Housing and Royal Dormitory Aid provides subsidies to lower income families as part of the Royal Dormitory Aid program in order to encourage ownership.

Urban

Multi family and apartments

Suburban

Suburban development was the primary form of housing development during the 20th century in Urcea and comprises a large plurality of the nation's housing stock. From the end of the Second Great War to the end of the century, government policy, economic factors, and social attitudes drove the creation of Urcea's suburbs. By the end of the century, suburban sprawl comprised most of the Valley, with relatively close together single family homes extending out from Urceopolis especially. Suburban development in other areas of the country also occurred but to a less sprawling extent given the population and relative population density of the Archduchy of Urceopolis and its surrounding provinces. Many social commentators by the 1980s had begun to grow concerned regarding suburban sprawl due to environmental concerns (including both waste and pollution) as well as social concerns, as many perceived a kind of isolation and alienation from the extended family and estate kinship groups on which Urcean society was traditionally organized. Suburban development began to wane during this time in favor of exurban development, which developed both due to public policy pressures and market forces interested in different models; this shift had the practical effect of causing massive disruption in Urcea's construction industry. The Family Living Act of 2003 essentially prohibited the construction of new, "core suburbs" and subsequent legislation has created large preservation areas around Urcea and particularly within the Valley. The preservation areas, which not only preserve existing natural areas but also has properties and homes default to the government for demolition in the event of no property heir or in the event of foreclosure, has had the unintended effect of decreasing the Kingdom's housing stock according to many policy analysts and non-governmental organizations.

Exurban

Exurban development has comprised the large part of Urcean real estate development since the mid-1980s reflecting increased distances from urban centers as well as changing social views.

In 2003, the Concilium Daoni led by Michael Witte enacted the Family Living Act (FLA), which establishes several rules governing the construction of multiple structures on a property by real estate developers intending to sell the land, known as subdivisions. Among other provisions, the FLA requires that contractors must first offer a condensed area within a development (intended to describe cul de sacs and other insular portions) to bidding by extended family groups before individually selling each house. In effect, this law has had the effect of making many portions of neighborhoods or even entire housing developments being comprised of related individuals. Since a considerable portion of Urcea's single-family housing stock has been constructed since 2003, the policy has had a large impact on Urcean housing and social relations, with many policy analysts calling the project a "major success" in restoring the proximity of extended families. Critics have said that the FLA has had the effect of artificially raising the price of homes and home ownership while suppressing housing stock and discouraging development.

Urban town and country

The primary design philosophy of exurban development in Urcea revolves around the notion of creating "urban town and country" (UTC), a design which has grown in frequency and popularity since the end of the 20th century. Though they existed prior to 2003, the Family Living Act of 2003 introduced significant economic incentives for the design and construction of this style of development. Urban town and country design creates areas of moderate density housing, typically one to two blocks of 5-over-1s (or earlier mixed use structures) surrounding a village green, town square, or roundabout park, surrounded by consistent low density housing with secluded cul de sacs and streets with large plots for homes separated by greenspaces and trees. This design is intended to allow individuals who can not own a home - either due to being short term transients to an area, lack of income, or some other reason - to live in rental units in and around the "central square" while simultaneously providing retail spaces - usually small businesses - in the central area. The "downtown area" is usually made up of several small retail outlets with restaurants in freestanding areas with parking, and this area is usually serviced by a rail-fed warehouse located on the periphery of town. Besides residential areas, churches schools, and libraries, and one to two large parking structures (depending on the size of the area) are intended to be constructed directly adjacent to the central square area for easy access to services by local residents. Since 2018 and 2019, most new UTCs are required to provide electric charging stations both in homes and in the public spaces, and many companies exist to transition existing UTC areas to electric compatibility on a large scale.

Most UTCs have only one or two major roads leading to the town square area, with small limited access urban neighborhood roads radiating outwards. The larger roads are typically multiple lanes in order to allow for commercial traffic to efficiently enter and exit the community. The major roads in UTCs typically lead to other UTCs or to highway access, while most of them also have a degree of access to park and rides and mass transit options. These transit options were enhanced with direct government subsidies to local public transit corporations with the Connectivity Act of 2012.

Proprietor communes

Throughout Urcea, small parts of land which escaped enclosure exist. Efforts were made during the 19th and 20th century to create a stable legal framework for these entities to survive, and accordingly the distinction of a "proprietor commune" or PC exists within law. The creation of PCs was the result of massive land surveyance efforts conducted in the immediate wake of the Second Great War in the 1940s and 50s, as individuals living on ancestral communal land objected to encroaching real estate developers; the Government of Urcea issued a large number of charters for these lands in 1954. PCs are governed by the Alternative Housing Law. PCs are lands in which the title is held by a corporation consisting of all of the residents within it, and accordingly all lands under a corporate charter are owned in common. PCs can only be dissolved with a supermajority of members voting in favor. Most charters individually lay out the terms on which individuals and families can build structures within the commune, but most provide for an enforceable prohibition on trespassing, ensuring a kind of private property for homeowners. Charters also give the communes wide latitude to establish standards for structures within the PC while not totally exempting them from local and provincial zoning laws. In effect, PCs function in a similar manner to home owners associations and collect fees. Banks are prohibited by law from discriminating against PCs and mortgages for individual homes are often assumed by the entire commune, who then levy the costs on the individual home resident.

-Up until the late 1950s, football in Caphiria was organized on a regional basis, with the only nationwide tournament being the Emperor’s Cup. In 1957, the first qualification process consolidated the regional tournaments of the Central, West, East and North provinces. Clubs competed in their regional leagues to qualify for the Emperor's Cup, which was the final stage of the competition. The winner of the Cup was not the league winner.
+==Private housing==
-saw the start of the first ever professional football league in the Imperium with eight teams, the following season the number of clubs increased to ten. The 1970–71 season saw the merger of both the Caphirian Prima League and the Caphirian First Division for that season exclusively to the concern of the 1974 WAFF World Cup host bid. Twenty teams were divided into two groups, A and B. The top two in each group would enter a semi-final stage to determine the overall champions. In the following season which reverted back to regular round robin competition, the number of first-division clubs was later increased to 12 in the season.

-In December 1990, the Caphirian federation decided to merge the league with the Emperor cup in one tournament, it was decided to revamp local competitions and to introduce professional football. A new league championship was formed called "The Custodian of Emperor’s League Cup", which was a two-stage championship. The first stage was a regular double round-robin league competition with the top 4 qualifying to the final knockout stage, called the golden box. Clubs were allowed to sign players on a professional basis making the league semi-professional. This system lasted for seventeen seasons before reverting to a regular round robin competition.

-===Competition===
-There are 16 clubs in the Imperial League. During the course of a season (usually from August to May) each club plays the other clubs twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents, for 30 games. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by position on the league table depending on points, then the head-to-head record between the tied teams is taken into consideration, and then goal difference.
-===Promotion and Relegation===
-A system of promotion and relegation exists between the Imperial League and the Caphirian Second League. The three lowest placed teams in the Imperial League are relegated to the Second League, and the top three teams from the Second League are promoted to the Imperial  League.

The team became a symbol of resilience, representing the aspirations and struggles of the marginalized.
-On the other hand, Militaris FC emerged from the ranks of imperial military officers. With the financial backing and influence of the military elite, the club was able to establish a strong presence in the football scene. Militaris FC represented the privileged class, embodying discipline, authority, and power.
-The socio-economic disparities between these two clubs laid the foundation for a fierce rivalry. It became more than just a competition on the football field; it symbolized a clash of social classes and historical narratives. Matches between Catenas Previcatores and Militaris FC became intense battles, reflecting the broader struggles within Caphirian society.
-The rivalry between the two teams was often fueled by passionate fans, who passionately supported their respective sides. The matches became an arena where the aspirations and pride of different social groups clashed, leading to intense emotions and rivalries. Over the years, the rivalry between Catenas Previcatores and Militaris FC has evolved but has not lost its essence. It serves as a reminder of the socio-economic divisions that persist in Caphiria and the power of football as a platform for social expression and unity.

-The Venceia Derby, also known as the Lupi-Ludis Derby, is a heated rivalry between Venceia Lupi and Venceia Ludis, two teams representing different neighborhoods in the city. This derby extends beyond football, reflecting the cultural and social differences between the two communities. Venceia Lupi, based in the affluent district, is associated with tradition, wealth, and a sense of superiority. In contrast, Venceia Ludis, from the working-class neighborhood, represents resilience, passion, and a strong community spirit. Matches between these teams are intense, marked by intense local pride and a desire to claim supremacy within the city.
-'''Faber Ferrarious vs. Ferriviaria Consociatio'''
+===Proprietor communes===
-The rivalry between Faber Ferrarious and Ferriviaria Consociatio goes beyond football and stems from the historical divide between steelworkers and rail workers. Faber Ferrarious, backed by the steel industry, symbolizes strength, determination, and industrial might. On the other hand, Ferriviaria Consociatio represents the hardworking rail workers, embodying solidarity, perseverance, and community values. The rivalry between these two teams reflects the socio-economic tensions between these industries and the pride each group takes in their respective trades. Matches between them carry a symbolic weight, representing the ongoing struggle for recognition and respect in the working-class communities they represent.
+Throughout [[Urcea]], small parts of land which escaped {{wp|enclosure}} exist.

[[Levantine banking and finance|Banks]] are [[Family_Living_Act_of_2003#Protections_for_Proprietor_Communes|prohibited by law from discriminating against PCs]] and mortgages for individual homes are often assumed by the entire commune, who then levy the costs on the individual home resident.
-'''Venatores vs Ampeloniki Bellatores'''
+[[Category: Urcea]]
-The rivalry between Venatores and Ampeloniki Bellatores is a unique clash that is rooted in the historical origins of both clubs. Venatores, tracing its roots back to ancient times, was initially formed as an exclusive hunting club for the upper elite. The members of Venatores reveled in their privileged status and enjoyed the thrill of the hunt, symbolizing power, wealth, and dominance.
+[[Category: Culture of Urcea]]
+[[Category:IXWB]]
-In contrast, Ampeloniki Bellatores has a more unconventional origin. The club emerged from the remnants of former gladiatorial slaves who were once hunted for the entertainment of others. These gladiators, having being professionalized , formed a community that sought redemption, freedom, and a new purpose. Ampeloniki Bellatores represents the indomitable spirit of those who defied the odds and emerged victorious from the shadows of their dark past.
+[[Category: 2022 Award winning pages]]
-The clash between Venatores and Ampeloniki Bellatores carries a deeper significance than mere football rivalry.
