Download or read book Land Use and Spatial Planning written by Graciela Metternicht and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconciles competing and sometimes contradictory forms of land use, while also promoting sustainable land use options. It highlights land use planning, spatial planning, territorial (or regional) planning, and ecosystem-based or environmental land use planning as tools that strengthen land governance. Further, it demonstrates how to use these types of land-use planning to improve economic opportunities based on sustainable management of land resources, and to develop land use options that strike a balance between conservation and development objectives. Competition for land is increasing as demand for multiple land uses and ecosystem services rises. Food security issues, renewable energy and emerging carbon markets are creating pressures for the conversion of agricultural land to other uses such as reforestation and biofuels. At the same time, there is a growing demand for land in connection with urbanization and recreation, mining, food production, and biodiversity conservation. Managing the increasing competition between these services, and balancing different stakeholders’ interests, requires efficient allocation of land resources.

Download or read book Community Planning written by Eric Damian Kelly and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces community planning as practiced in the United States, focusing on the comprehensive plan. Sometimes known by other names—especially master plan or general plan—the type of plan described here is the predominant form of general governmental planning in the U.S. Although many government agencies make plans for their own programs or facilities, the comprehensive plan is the only planning document that considers multiple programs and that accounts for activities on all land located within the planning area, including both public and private property. Written by a former president of the American Planning Association, Community Planning is thorough, specific, and timely. It addresses such important contemporary issues as sustainability, walkable communities, the role of urban design in public safety, changes in housing needs for a changing population, and multi-modal transportation planning. Unlike competing books, it addresses all of these topics in the context of the local comprehensive plan. There is a broad audience for this book: planning students, practicing planners, and individual citizens who want to better understand local planning and land use controls. Boxes at the end of each chapter explain how professional planners and individual citizens, respectively, typically engage the issues addressed in the chapter. For all readers, Community Planning provides a pragmatic view of the comprehensive plan, clearly explained by a respected authority.

Download or read book Land Development Plan Greenville N C Classic Reprint written by N. Carolina Community Planning Division and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land Development Plan, Greenville, N. C The first three elements listed above are included in this publication titled Land Development Plan of Greenville, n.c. The major land use objectives set forth in the Plan constitute the basis according to which the zoning ordinance currently in use will be revised. Although the adopted Thoroughfare Plan was formulated a scant three years before, several elements contained therein are already obsolete and prompt revisions are needed in accordance with the Land Development Plan. Among the various elements of this contract the Land Use Plan is, therefore, a pivotal study. Of the other contractual elements, the Population and Economy Study has been published by the Division of Community Planning in 1965. A Governmental Space Study has been published in 1966, and a Neighborhood Analysis will be published in the latter part of 1966. The extensively revised Zoning Ordinance will be published upon its adoption by the local legislative body.
