Book Synopsis Project Rating/recognition Programs for Supporting Smart Growth Forms of Development by : Douglas R. Porter
Download or read book Project Rating/recognition Programs for Supporting Smart Growth Forms of Development written by Douglas R. Porter and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is smart growth? As communities around the country embrace the principles of smart growth, this becomes less a question of theory than of implementation. Communities who want to achieve smart-growth objectives need criteria and standards for evaluating the extent to which proposed developments qualify as smart growth. This report explains how communities can create project rating systems that help them turn smart-growth principles into built projects. It offers examples of ratings systems employed by various organizations, describes their scope and intentions, explains the administrative processes involved, and evaluates their effectiveness. It also describes ways such systems can be used to educate the public and officials about smart growth and how some communities are using them in recognition and awards programs.

Written by Daniel Mandelker, with contributions from Dwight Merriam, David Callies, and others, it provides recommendations on how PUD ordinances can be drafted, with examples from communities around the country.

Book Synopsis Transportation Infrastructure by : Marlon Gary Boarnet
Download or read book Transportation Infrastructure written by Marlon Gary Boarnet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation infrastructure is one of the most pressing issues for planners and communities today. In the short term, stimulus funding is being used to create jobs and fix critical systems; in the long run, communities are struggling to determine how best to restructure transport networks to encourage better land use and to foster reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. This report, edited by Marlon G. Boarnet, was compiled with an eye to the urgency and severity of the challenges that we now face. Some of the leading researchers, scholars, and practitioners in transportation planning put forth fresh best practices and visionary ideas. Contributors include Robert Cervero, Ellen Greenberg, Robert Puentes, Daniel Sperling, and Petra Todorovich. Also here is the discussion among three big-city planning directors--William Anderson (San Diego), Barbara Sporlein (Minneapolis), and Harriet Tregoning (Washington, D.C.)--that took place at APA's 2009 National Planning Conference in Minneapolis.

Book Synopsis Zoning as a Barrier to Multifamily Housing Development by : Gerrit Knaap
Download or read book Zoning as a Barrier to Multifamily Housing Development written by Gerrit Knaap and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the relationships between zoning and housing in six metropolitan areas. Using census and GIS data, the authors found indicators of zoning regulations and housing market performance in Boston; Miami-Dade County; Minneapolis-St. Paul; Portland; Sacramento; and Washington, D.C. They evaluated state statutes and regional and local plans in each metropolitan. The result is documentary evidence that exclusionary zoning is a significant barrier to higher-density, multifamily housing, which is often--but not always--more affordable than single-family housing. The CD-ROM included with the report includes detailed information on research methodology and data sources and summarizes the literature and public-policy document review undertaken by the authors.
Book Synopsis Planning Issues for On-site and Decentralized Wastewater Treatment by : Wayne Feiden
Download or read book Planning Issues for On-site and Decentralized Wastewater Treatment written by Wayne Feiden and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As much as a third of new development in the United States relies on decentralized wastewater treatment. Such systems pose a threat to shorelines and drinking water. They can also allow development to occur in places and at densities that are in conflict with a community's vision for its growth. This report explains how planners can address wastewater treatment to help their communities meet goals for growth and protect drinking water and other natural resources. The authors, a planning director who has helped design more than 2,000 wastewater systems and a professor of plant and soil sciences, present a balanced, insightful, and technically rigorous explanation of how these systems need to be sited, designed, and managed.
Book Synopsis Fair and Healthy Land Use by : Craig Anthony Arnold
Download or read book Fair and Healthy Land Use written by Craig Anthony Arnold and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lawsuits challenging the disproportionate effects of government decisions on low-income and minority communities are on the rise. Studies show that low-income families and racial minorities are more likely to suffer from health issues related to pollution. Grassroots environmental justice groups are increasingly fighting the siting of LULUs in low-income and minority communities. The principles these groups adopt are good planning principles: that no person or neighborhood should be burdened by harmful environmental conditions and that all persons should have the opportunity for meaningful participation in the decisions affecting the health, safety, and identity of their community. This report, from APA's Planning Advisory Service, explains how the principles of environmental justice can be incorporated into land-use planning processes.

Book Synopsis Transforming Race and Class in Suburbia by : T. Vicino
Download or read book Transforming Race and Class in Suburbia written by T. Vicino and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-06-09 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as the nation witnessed the widespread decay of urban centers, there is a mounting suburban crisis in first-tier suburbs - the early suburbs to develop in metropolitan America. These places, once the bastion of a large middle class, have matured and experienced three decades of social and economic decline. In the first comprehensive analysis of suburban decline for an entire region, Vicino uses Baltimore as an illustrative case to chronicle how first-tier suburbs experienced widespread decline while outer suburbs flourished since the 1970s. At the brink of the twenty-first century, Vicino illustrates how the processes of deindustrialization, racial diversity, and class segregation have shaped the evolution of suburban decline.
