Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Urban Planning, 12e provides students with an unvarnished and in‐depth introduction to the historic, economic, political, legal, ideological, and environmental factors affecting urban planning today. Planning is a highly political activity. Urban and regional planning decisions often involve large sums of money, both public and private, with the potential to deliver large benefits to some and losses to others. The extensively revised edition of this beloved text tackles the most pressing recent issues in urban development, including: current demographic, technological, and lifestyle changes and the possibility for a major turn toward reurbanization/urban revitalization after decades of decentralization; an expanded consideration of contemporary means of public participation in planning; the impact of contemporary social movements on planning, and the rising importance of social equity as a major planning objective; the affordable housing shortage facing cities in many large U.S. metropolitan areas; • making cities more adaptable to micro‐mobility; environmental goals and the role of planners in responding to global climate change, current public‐health challenges, and major environmental catastrophes; and the effect of varied applications of land use controls and other planning policies in different countries and under different political regimes, with case study examples from the UK, France, Eastern Europe, China, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This thoroughly updated new edition also benefits from resources to help classroom instruction, both in the text and online. These include discussion and multiple‐choice questions, and links for students to online supplemental readings, websites, and media sources. Contemporary Urban Planning is an essential resource for students, city planners, and all who are concerned with the nature of contemporary urban development problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In thirty-four provocative and insightful chapters, the nation's leading planners present a definitive assessment of fifty years of city planning and establish a benchmark for the profession for the next fifty years. The book appraises what planners do and how well they do it, how and why their current activities differ from past practices, and how much and in what ways planners have or have not enhanced the quality of urban life and contributed to the intellectual capital of the field.How have the goals, values, and practices of planners changed? What do planners say about their roles and the problems they confront? What is the relevance of their skills, from design capabilities and environmental savvy to intermediate and long-term perspectives and the pragmatics of implementation? The contributors seeking to answer these questions include Anthony Downs, Nathan Glazer, Philip B. Herr, Judith E. Innes, Terry S. Szold, Lawrence J. Vale, and Sam Bass Warner, Jr.The Profession of City Planning contrasts with the main changes in the US over the second half of the twentieth century in city planning.

Book excerpt: Based on the author's extensive experience as a working planner, this book gives readers an insider's view of sub-state urban planning--the " nitty-gritty" details on the interplay of politics, law, money, and interest groups. The author takes a balanced, non-judgmental approach to introduce a range of ideological and political perspectives on the operation of political, economic, and demographic forces in city planning. Unlike other books on the subject, this one is strong in its coverage of economics, law, finance, and urban governance. It examines the underlying forces of growth and change and discusses frankly who benefits and loses by particular decisions. A four-part organization covers the background and development of contemporary planning; the structure and practice of contemporary planning; fields of planning; and national planning in the United States and other nations, and planning theory. For individuals headed for a career in planning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores a model plan to enable law enforcement agencies to maintain their effectiveness during and after an urban redevelopment project. The plan focuses on three issues: (1) maintaining the financial base of a police department in a small California city where the tax base has been reduced by the removal of residential and business buildings from the tax base during initial renewal phases; (2) maintaining the financial base during post-renewal when the tax base is still reduced; and (3) providing police input into the planning phase of urban renewal to reduce crime, increase traffic flow, and ensure adequate crowd control. Recommended law enforcement strategies include convening financial conferences by the police chief with municipal and renewal executives, forming and training a police task force to confer with urban renewal planners, and using the police task force to join with environmental and architectural urban renewal planners in the early phases of redevelopment. Techniques and procedures used to forecast the role of law enforcement in urban renewal and to develop strategic and transition management plans are detailed. Additional information on the study procedures is appended.

Download or read book Planning By Law and Property Rights Reconsidered written by Barrie Needham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries which take spatial planning seriously should take planning law and property rights also seriously. There is an unavoidable logical relationship between planning, law, and property rights. However, planning by law and property rights is so familiar and taken for granted that we do not think about the theory behind it. As a result, we do not think abstractly about its strengths and weaknesses, about what can be achieved with it and what not, how it can be improved, how it could be complemented. Such reflections are essential to cope with current and future challenges to spatial planning. This book makes the (often implicit) theory behind planning by law and property rights explicit and relates it to those challenges. It starts by setting out what is understood by planning by law and property rights, and investigates - theoretically and by game simulation - the relationships between planning law and property rights. It then places planning law and property rights within their institutional setting at three different scales: when a country undergoes enormous social and political change, when there is fundamental political debate about the power of the state within a country, and when a country changes its legislation in response to European policy. Not only changing institutions, but also global environmental change, pose huge challenges for spatial planning. The book discusses how planning by law and property rights can respond to those challenges: by adaptive planning), by adaptable property rights, and by public policies at the appropriate geographical level. Planning by law and property rights can fix a local regime of property rights which turns out to be inappropriate but difficult to change. It questions whether such regimes can be changed and whether planning agencies can make such undesirable lock-ins less likely by reducing market uncertainty and, if so, by what means.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideal for students and practitioners working in spatial planning, the Europeanization of planning agendas and regional policy in general Spatial Planning Systems and Practices in Europe develops a systematic methodological framework to analyze changes in planning systems throughout Europe. The main aim of the book is to delineate the coexistence of continuity and change and of convergence and divergence with regard to planning practices across Europe. Based on the work of experts on spatial planning from twelve European countries the authors underline the specific and context-dependent variety and disparateness of planning transformation, focusing on the main objectives of the changes, the driving forces behind them and the main phases and turning points, the main agenda setting actors, and the different planning modes and tools reflected in the different "policy and planning styles". Along with a methodological framework the book includes twelve country case studies and the comparative conclusions covering a variety of planning systems of EU member states. According to the four "ideal types" of planning systems identified in the EU Compendium, at least two countries have been selected from each of the four different planning traditions: regional-economic (France, Germany), Urbanism (Greece, Italy), comprehensive/integrated (Denmark ,Finland, Netherlands, Germany), "land use planning" (UK, Czech Republic, Belgium/Flanders), along with two additional case studies focusing on the recent developments in eastern European countries by looking at Poland and in southern Europe looking at Turkey.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An opportunity exists to better integrate nature into our cities and towns. As humans we are hardwired to need nature and for most of us, this nature comes in the form of urban nature, or green spaces. Green spaces provide the opportunity for city dwellers to interact with and have a relationship with nature. Yet, reliance on the typical urban green space can no longer provide sufficient amounts of nature to foster the benefits which nature provides. The premise of this research is that changes in how green spaces are planned in suburban greenfield developments must occur to better protect and enhance the presence of nature in the built environment. In doing so, increased opportunities for urban dwellers to foster a relationship with nature are provided. In exploring the proposition labeled here as 'nature-first urban green spaces', the research methodology followed a qualitative case study of green space planning practices in Winnipeg, which included an analysis of municipal development plans and green space policies as well as informant interviews. Seven recommendations aim to enhance the presence of nature in Winnipeg and to increase opportunities for urban dwellers to foster a relationship with nature. The recommendations provide guidance to overcome existing green space planning challenges such as competing demand for land use and financial constraints, aim to strengthen the authority and effectiveness of green space policies, identify opportunities to further advance green space planning in Winnipeg, and encourage green space dialogue to promote nature-first urban green spaces. If applied, the seven recommendations can contribute to the planning and design of urban green spaces in Winnipeg to better reflect nature-first urban green spaces.
