Download or read book Understanding Land Development written by Eddo Coiacetto and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2012-04-02 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws on the author’s considerable expertise in land development processes and planning, and planning education. It takes a learning-by-doing studio approach and shows how to undertake a development feasibility study in three main stages: the preliminary proposal, a design and finally, a full report with a financially appraised proposal. Understanding Land Development shows how to tackle a real life project where there are situations of uncertainty and where there may be multiple solutions to a problem. It demonstrates how to undertake research into a range of issues – site conditions, market conditions, development finance, sustainability, land use planning and infrastructure – and shows how to analyse this diverse information to generate a concrete development proposal. The book covers planning skills, including site analysis, financial analysis, spreadsheet preparation, design, plan interpretation, project planning and strategic thinking. By taking the approach presented here, the reader will learn to become a more effective planner by understanding how land development leads to built environment outcomes that may not be the idealised outcomes to which planners aspire.

Download or read book Economics Real Estate and the Supply of Land written by Alan W. Evans and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book draws together the economic literature relating to the supply of land for development. The standard view appears to be that the owners of land have no interest other than to allow their land to be used for the activity which would yield the highest income. But in reality this is not so and the book's aim is to demonstrate this, to set out the reasons and to show the economic effects of the fact that landowners have other motives. The book covers the supply of land for urban development and shows how land has characteristics which differentiate it from other factors of production which will also affect its supply for some uses, e.g. land is fixed in location and its price and value are inseparable from where it is. New light is cast on the market for land (by concentrating on the supply side), and on land use planning (by taking an economic viewpoint).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternative development standards would encourage development patterns which are more affordable, discourage sprawl, are environmentally responsive, support transit, reduce automobile dependency, and create more liveable communities. This report considers development standards at two scales: local and regional, with a focus on the latter. It begins with discussion of why alternate standards are needed and a literature review of the current state of development standards and related initiatives. It then presents case studies of four urban centres chosen to explore existing development standards, explore the relationship to urban form, and assess the current status of regional and local development standards in North America. Finally, it illustrates a new approach to applying development standards, using a fictitious community that portrays a fabric of rural concession roads, natural water features, and an existing village. Before and after plans illustrate the evolution of this community, planned according to an integrated approach.
