Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of rapid change, uncertainty, and hyperpartisanship, when wicked problems abound, tools for solving public problems are more essential than ever. The authors lay out a new theory for collaborative practice in planning, public administration, and public policy. Planning with Complexity provides both theoretical underpinnings and extensive case material on collaboration and offers ways of understanding and conducting effective practice. Collaborative rationality means collaboration that is inclusive, informed, grounded in authentic dialogue, and that results in wise and durable outcomes. The scholar-practitioner author team builds on more than 40 years of research, teaching, and practice addressing environmental issues, housing, and transportation. This second edition updates the case studies and adds new examples reflecting the global spread of collaborative practices. It builds on insights that have recently emerged in the literature. More than 75 new references have been incorporated, along with new tables. This book is essential for students, educators, scholars, and reflective practitioners in public policy fields in the 21st century.

Book Integrated flood management for resilient agrifood systems and rural development

Download or read book Integrated flood management for resilient agrifood systems and rural development written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2023-12-07 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a perspective on the impacts of flooding in rural areas and how to address them in an integrated way that delivers multiple long-term benefits for people (food, water, and economic security) and nature. The challenges faced by rural communities are illustrated and a strategic approach to flood management is presented. The approach advocated is based on a paradigm of planning that connects the short and long term, seeks to simultaneously manage flood risk to people, their agrifood systems, related livelihoods and the economy, while promoting the positive (and necessary) role floods play in maintaining productive agriculture (and aquaculture) and ecosystem health. In doing so, the approach embeds the concepts of disaster risk reduction (DRR) that are integral to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, which contributes to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the crucial need to progress at pace towards the Sustainable Development Goals. The report highlights how flood management practice has evolved throughout history largely in response to flood events. This heuristic approach has yielded some important advances in both policy and planning. Central to this has been the shift from a reactive emergency-based response towards a proactive approach aimed at reducing and managing flood risks. There is however more to do. Recognizing that rural areas have received disproportionately less attention, and current approaches to planning and management are less well established in rural areas compared to urban areas (Asian Development Bank, 2018), a small number of recommendations are set to help make more rapid progress towards flood resilience in rural settings.
