Download or read book The politics of airport expansion in the United Kingdom written by Steven Griggs and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The massive expansion of global aviation, its insatiable demand for airport capacity and its growing contribution to carbon emissions make it a critical societal problem. Alongside traditional concerns about noise and air pollution, airport politics has been connected to the problems of climate change and peak oil. Yet it is still thought to be a driver of economic growth and connectivity in an increasingly mobile world. The politics of airport expansion in the United Kingdom provides the first in-depth analysis of the protest campaigns and policymaking practices that have marked British aviation since the construction of Heathrow Airport. Grounded in documentary analysis, interviews and policy texts, it constructs and employs poststructuralist policy analysis to chart rival groups and movements seeking to shape public policy. This book will appeal to people interested in the history of aviation and airports in Britain, local campaigns and environmental protests, and the politics of climate change.

Download or read book Transport Planning written by John Adams and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1981, this volume provides a systematic and detailed critique of the practice of transport planning. It shows how past transport policies blighted cities, suburbs and countryside alike, led to increased death and injury on the roads and offered the whole of the motorized world as a hostage to the oil-producing countries. The book urges us all to consider whether increase mobility is really synonymous with progress and to take a more active part in planning decisions that may adversely affect our futures. The book will be of interest to those concerned with environmental issues & transport planning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this "pathology of planning," Peter Hall briskly recounts the histories of five great planning disasters and two near-disasters and analyzes the decisions of the professional bureaucrats, community activists, and politicians involved in the planning process. He draws on an eclectic body of theory from political science, economics, ethics, and long-range future forecasting to suggest ways to forestall such grand mistakes in the future. For this edition, Hall has added a special introduction in which he reflects further on the sequels to these cautionary tales and on the moral planners and citizens should draw from them.

Download or read book BAA Market Investigation written by Great Britain: Competition Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-10-18 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report confirms that BAA will be required to sell Stansted Airport followed by Edinburgh or Glasgow Airport. Following legal challenges to the CC's 2009 decision (ISBN 9780117064836) on the airports market, the Commission considered whether there were possible changes of circumstances that might lead to a different conclusion. The CC has, though, concluded that the sale of the airports is fully justified and that passengers and airlines would still benefit from greater competition with the airports under separate owner-ship, despite the current Government's decision to rule out new runways at any of the London airports. The CC has also concluded that the same timescale should remain for the sale of Stansted followed by sale of one of the Scottish airports. Stansted will be sold first as it serves the larger number of passengers and there will be a small overlap between the two sales periods.
