Book Synopsis Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning 6 by : Christopher Silver
Download or read book Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning 6 written by Christopher Silver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-24 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning series offers a selection of some of the best scholarship in urban and regional planning from around the world. The internationally recognized authors of these award-winning papers take up a range of salient issues from the theory and practice of planning. This 6th volume incorporates essays that explore the salient issue commonly referred to as "The Right to the City." This theme speaks to a growing new movement within planning theory and practice with multiple aims and strategies but with the common objective of advancing a more just and equitable world. The right to the city functions as a manifesto advancing academic explorations of the opportunities for, and barriers to, expanding human and environmental justice. At the same time, it extends beyond academic inquiry to engage directly with the policy, legal and political dimensions of human rights. The right to the city has been invoked by global bodies such as United Nations-Habitat and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to bolster not only their agendas around fundamental human rights but advance urban policies promoting inclusion, sustainability, and resilience. Dialogues 6 offers engaging explorations into the academic expeditions by the global planning community that have helped to energize this movement. The papers assembled here through processes of peer review represent an invaluable collection to untangle the complexities of this dynamic new approach to urban and regional planning. The Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning (DURP) series is published in association with the Global Planning Education Association Network (GPEAN) and its member national and transnational planning schools associations.
Book Synopsis Policy Analysis in France by : Charlotte Halpern
Download or read book Policy Analysis in France written by Charlotte Halpern and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding policy analysis in France requires first a thorough exploration of the distinction usually made in French academic and practitioner debates between policy studies and policy analysis--essentially the difference between studies of policy and studies designed for the use of policy. This book begins there, then delves into questions of how and by whom knowledge of policies is produced within and outside the French state, showing that while the tension between the two types of study is real, the continued exchange of ideas between them has led to an enrichment of both spheres. The book thus lays the foundation for a more systematic understanding of policy analysis in France.
Book Synopsis Participatory Democracy in Southern Europe by : Joan Font
Download or read book Participatory Democracy in Southern Europe written by Joan Font and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizen participation is a central component of democratic governance. As participatory schemes have grown in number and gained in social legitimacy over recent years, the research community has analyzed the virtues of participatory policies from several points of view, but usually giving focus to the most successful and well-known grass-roots cases. This book examines a wider range of participatory interventions that have been created or legitimized by central governments, providing original exploration of institutional democratic participatory mechanisms. Looking at a huge variety of subnational examples across Italy, Spain and France, the book interrogates the rich findings of a substantial research project. The authors use quantitative and qualitative methods to compare why these cases of participatory mechanisms have emerged, how they function, and what cultural impact they’ve achieved. This allows highly original insights into why participatory mechanisms work in some places, but not others, and the sorts of choices that organizers of participatory processes have to consider when creating such policies.
Book Synopsis Governance of Urban Sustainability Transitions by : Derk Loorbach
Download or read book Governance of Urban Sustainability Transitions written by Derk Loorbach and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading this book will lead to new insights compelling to an international audience into how cities address the sustainability challenges they face. They do this by not repeating old patterns but by searching for new and innovative methods and instruments based on shared principles of a transitions approach. The book describes the quest of cities on two continents to accelerate and stimulate such a transition to sustainability. The aim of the book is twofold: to provide insights into how cities are addressing this challenge conceptually and practically, and to learn from a comparison of governance strategies in Europe and Asia. The book is informed by transition thinking as it was developed in the last decade in Europe and as it is increasingly being applied in Asia. The analytical framework is based on principles of transition management, which draws on insights from complexity science, sociology, and governance theories. Only recently this approach has been adapted to the urban context, and this book is an opportunity to share these experiences with a wider audience. For scholars this work offers a presentation of recent state-of-the-art theoretical developments in transition governance applied to the context of cities. For urban planners, professionals, and practitioners it offers a framework for understanding ongoing developments as well as methods and instruments for dealing with them. The content is potentially appealing to post-graduate and graduate students of environmental management, policy studies, and urban studies programs.

Book Synopsis Landscape dimensions by : Council of Europe
Download or read book Landscape dimensions written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a key element of individual and social well-being and quality of life, landscape plays an important part in human fulfilment and in reinforcement of European identity. Adopted under the auspices of the Council of Europe, the European Landscape Convention aims to promote the protection, management and planning of landscapes, and to organise international co-operation in this field. It applies to the entire territory of the contracting parties and covers natural, rural, urban and peri-urban areas. It concerns landscapes considered outstanding, as well as everyday or degraded areas. Certain “dimensions” of the landscape are presented in this publication, which addresses key issues for its future, including democracy, education, economy, leisure and advertising. Landscape management processes – and even the term “landscape” itself – are also analysed. This book forms part of a process of reflection on the major themes concerning the living environment.

Its purpose is to comprehend how the concept of sustainability is reflected in housing spaces as well as to analyse how inhabitants put those spaces to the test.
Book Synopsis Urban Planning in the Digital Age by : Nicolas Douay
Download or read book Urban Planning in the Digital Age written by Nicolas Douay and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological changes have often produced important social changes that translate into spatial and planning practice. Whereas the intelligent city is one of the unavoidable and even dominant concepts, digital uses can influence urban planning in four different directions. These scenarios are represented by a compass composed of a horizontal axis opposing institutional and non-institutional actors, and a second axis with open and closed opposition.
Download or read book Terra 2008 written by Leslie Rainer and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.
Book Synopsis Savoirs citoyens et démocratie urbaine by : Collectif
Download or read book Savoirs citoyens et démocratie urbaine written by Collectif and published by Presses universitaires de Rennes. This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans des sociétés traversées par l'exigence d'information et de renouvellement de la démocratie, la question urbaine est au cœur d'expérimentations et de réflexions sur la part que peuvent jouer les savoirs ordinaires dans une gouvernance participative. Face à la recrudescence des dispositifs participatifs, les savoirs citoyens apparaissent, à l'observation, comme une catégorie d'analyse pertinente pour analyser la participation des citoyens et définir leur apport dans l'action publique locale. Cette notion rend également compte de la pluralisation des formes d'expertise qui se produisent sur les scènes urbaines et de l'apparition de nouvelles formes et domaines de mobilisation. Dans toutes les villes post-industrielles comme dans les villes en développement émergent en effet de nouveaux enjeux environnementaux, métropolitains, de transport, de cohabitation et de mixité, sur lesquels les citoyens s'investissent. Des défis urbains considérables – comme la gestion de la croissance, la lutte contre l'habitat précaire ou le mal-logement – sont aussi en cause. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de contribuer à décloisonner les regards sur les savoirs citoyens, afin de retracer la formation des capacités, ressources et formes d'apprentissage mobilisées dans les lieux et scènes de mobilisation – programmés ou non –, de redonner à ces savoirs consistance et visibilité en retraçant leurs variations sociales, résidentielles, de genre. Le renouvellement de la démocratie urbaine passe par la compréhension des contextes urbains où les savoirs citoyens trouvent à s'exprimer, à se mettre en forme et à être reconnus. Il s'agit ici de cerner la forme et le fond de ces savoirs citoyens qui font le sel des luttes urbaines et souvent l'impensé des politiques publiques.
Book Synopsis The European Landscape Convention by : Michael Jones
Download or read book The European Landscape Convention written by Michael Jones and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important and insightful book provides, for the first time, a broad presentation of ongoing research into public participation in landscape conservation, management and planning, following the 2000 European Landscape Convention which came into force in 2004. The book examines both the theory of participation and what lessons can be learnt from specific European examples. It explores in what manner and to what extent the provisions for participation in the European Landscape Convention have been followed up and implemented. It also presents and compares different experiences of participation in selected countries from northern, southern, eastern and western Europe, and provides a critical examination of public participation in practice. However, while the book’s focus is necessarily on Europe, many of the conclusions drawn are of global relevance. The book provides a valuable reference for researchers and advanced students in landscape policies and management, as well as for professionals and others interested in land-use planning and environmental management.

Book Synopsis The Professionalization of Public Participation by : Laurence Bherer
Download or read book The Professionalization of Public Participation written by Laurence Bherer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Professionalization of Public Participation is an edited collection of essays by leading and emerging scholars examining the emerging profession of public participation professionals. Public participation professionals are persons working in the public, private, or third sectors that are paid to design, implement, and/or facilitate participatory forums. The rapid growth and proliferation of participatory arrangements call for expertise in the organizing of public participation. The contributors analyze the professionalization of this practice in different countries (United States, France, Canada, Italy, and the United Kingdom) to see how their actions challenge the development of participatory arrangements. Designing such processes is a delicate activity, since it may affect not only the quality of the processes and their legitimacy, but also their capacity to influence decision-making.
Download or read book Urbanisme written by Héloïse Nez and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les citoyens sont de plus en plus amenés à donner leur avis sur les questions d'urbanisme. Ils peuvent être sollicités par les pouvoirs publics, par exemple dans les conseils de quartier et les budgets participatifs, ou prendre spontanément la parole pour contester un projet dans leur quartier et avoir un impact sur l'évolution de leur ville. Quel est l'apport des citoyens à l'élaboration des politiques urbaines ? En quoi leurs savoirs sont-ils diff érents de ceux des élus et des techniciens ? Comment les responsables politiques et les professionnels réagissent-ils face à l'émergence de cette parole citoyenne ? Est-elle prise en compte dans la construction de la ville ? Cet ouvrage apporte des clés de compréhension sur les savoirs citoyens dans l'urbanisme participatif, à partir d'une enquête sociologique menée pendant trois ans auprès d'habitants, d'associatifs, d'élus et de professionnels investis dans des processus de démocratie participative à Paris.
