Download or read book Transport Management and Car-parking written by Department of Health: Estates and Facilities Division and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-05-10 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this guidance is to identify best practice in developing travel plans and providing adequate car-parking for NHS trust in England. (Travel plans are measures to manage travel to and from a site, and to reduce reliance on the car as a means of getting to work.) The guidance also assesses the Department for Transport's travel plan evaluation tool against NHS trust travel plans; provides a matrix to estimate a base level of car-parking provision (on the accompanying CD-ROM); identifies links to other assessment tools; suggests how to collect and monitor data; identifies successful partnership working, what encourages and motivates trusts, staff and the public; considers environmentally-friendly transport options. The key elements of best practice are: financial incentives or disincentives; car-parking constraints and management; a range of alternative modes of transport; strong management support; progressive incremental implementation over time; clear objectives; close partnership with local authorities and public transport operators; dedicated staff responsible for travel plans; and, very significantly, designation of a travel plan manager or champion.

Book Synopsis The Planning Polity by : Mark Tewdwr-Jones
Download or read book The Planning Polity written by Mark Tewdwr-Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-27 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning is not a technical and value free activity. Planning is an overt political system that creates both winners and losers. The Planning Polity is a book that considers the politics of development and decision-making, and political conflicts between agencies and institutions within British town and country planning. The focus of assessment is how British planning has been formulated since the early 1990s, and provides an in-depth and revealing assessment of both the Major and Blair governments' terms of office. The book will prove to be an invaluable guide to the British planning system today and the political demands on it. Students and activists within urban and regional studies, planning, political science and government, environmental studies, urban and rural geography, development, surveying and planning, will all find the book to be an essential companion to their work.
Book Synopsis Planning Sustainable Transport by : Barry Hutton
Download or read book Planning Sustainable Transport written by Barry Hutton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transport choices must be transformed if we are to cope with sustainability and climate change, but this can only be done if we understand how complex transport systems work. Straightforward choices are never made between one transport mode and another; door-to-door movements of both people and freight use combinations of different modes of transport. This book offers a cross-disciplinary overview of transport systems and the ways in which they interact with urban and regional planning decisions and environmental issues. It offers a thoughtful critique of existing methodology and policy, raising issues, providing facts, explaining linkages and, particularly, stimulating debate. The book methodically explores the definitions, trends, problems, objectives and policies of transport planning. In particular the author looks at land use as a major determinant of the nature and extent of the demand for transport, concluding that the management of land use has to be a key element of any sustainable transport policy. Planning Sustainable Transport will be essential reading for today’s transport specialists, planners and property developers. It will also be useful to postgraduate students in planning and related disciplines.

Book excerpt: Concentrating on the planning and design of cities, the three sections take a logical route through the discussion from the broad considerations at regional and city scale, to the larger city at high and lower densities through to design considerations on the smaller block scale. Key design issues such as access to facilities, access for sunlight, life cycle analyses, and the impact of communications on urban design are tackled, and in conclusion, the research is compared to large scale design examples that have been proposed and/or implemented over the past decade to give a vision for the future that might be achievable.

Book Synopsis Planning for Retail Development by : Clifford Guy
Download or read book Planning for Retail Development written by Clifford Guy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-10-11 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a leading expert in the field, this is the first thorough critical review of retail planning policy in Britain (including Scotland and Wales). It covers recent changes in government policy and guidance, and examines retail policy within a broader economic and social context. Planning for Retail Development explains key events and debates in the evolution of retail planning policy, at central and local government levels, since the 1960s and draws contrasts between the 1980s, a period in which retail developers were encouraged by central government to expand away from town centres, and the more recent emphasis on protection and promotion of town centres as the most appropriate location for new development. The book develops a critical evaluation of past and present retail planning policies, based upon analyses of retailers’ objectives and of typical consumer shopping behaviour. Relationships between retail planning and wider societal concerns, including sustainable development, social inclusion and urban regeneration are also examined and analysed and guidelines for future policy objectives and content are drawn.

Download or read book Sustainable Transport written by R Tolley and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cycling and walking are both essential components in sustainable transport strategy and are becoming an ever more important part of urban planning. There is now a wealth of international experience of how well sustainable planning works in practice and how it can be improved. With a wide range of contributions from America, Australia, Europe as well as the UK, Sustainable transport sums up many of the lessons learnt and how they can be applied in improved planning. Non-motorised transport planning depends on combining improvements to infrastructure with education.There are chapters examining both national strategies and local initiatives in cities around the world, including such topics as changes to existing road infrastructure and the integration of cycling and walking with public transport. Since education is a critical element in sustainable transport planning, contributors also consider such topics as developing healthier travel habits and ways of promoting cycling and walking as alternatives to the car.With its blend of practical experience and suggestions for improvement, Sustainable transport is essential reading for urban planners, environmental groups and those researching transport issues. - Comprehensive handbook covering sustainable transport initiatives world wide - Focuses on walking and cycling as alternatives to motorised transport systems - Presents practical advice on how to encourage sustainable transport schemes
Book Synopsis Transport, Climate Change and the City by : Robin Hickman
Download or read book Transport, Climate Change and the City written by Robin Hickman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-05 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable mobility has long been sought after in cities around the world, particularly in industrialised countries, but also increasingly in the emerging cities in Asia. Progress however appears difficult to make as the private car, still largely fuelled by petrol or diesel, remains the mainstream mode of use. Transport is the key sector where carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions seem difficult to reduce. Transport, Climate Change and the City seeks to develop achievable and low transport CO2 emission futures in a range of international case studies, including in London, Oxfordshire, Delhi, Jinan and Auckland. The aim is that the scenarios as developed, and the consideration of implementation and governance issues, can help us plan for and achieve attractive future travel behaviours at the city level. The alternative is to continue with only incremental progress against CO2 reduction targets, to ‘sleepwalk’ into climate change difficulties, oil scarcity, a poor quality of life, and to continue with the high traffic casualty figures. The topic is thus critical, with transport viewed as central to the achievement of the sustainable city and reduced CO2 emissions.

Book Synopsis Parking Policy and Enforcement by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Transport Committee
Download or read book Parking Policy and Enforcement written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Transport Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-06-22 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Failure to comply with parking restrictions disrupts traffic, increases road congestion, heightens risks of accidents and delays public transport schedules. The Committee's report considers a number of measures required to improve parking enforcement policy in Britain, including the key recommendation that we need to move to a single country-wide system of decriminalised parking enforcement (in place of the current dual system of localised enforcement where parking policy is administered by local authorities in some areas and by the police in others). Although transferring responsibility for parking enforcement to local government has succeeded in raising levels of enforcement and compliance, poor administrative practices causes driver frustration and wastes resources, and threatens to bring the decriminalised parking regime into disrepute. Other recommendations include: the establishment of clear performance standards in applying parking restrictions; improved recruitment, remuneration and training to ensure the development of a professional parking service; greater transparency in the procedure for challenging penalty charge notices and an increased awareness of the role of the parking adjudication service; and the need for local authorities to develop parking strategies which meet local objectives, focusing on congestion targets, road safety and accessibility issues.
