Download or read book Planning with Neighborhoods written by William M. Rohe and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neighborhood planning programs involve citizens in developing plans and self-help projects for their neighborhoods through local organizations. They also assist residents in reviewing projects developed by city agencies. Based on a survey of fifty-one neighborhood planning programs and in-depth case studies of Atlanta, Cincinnati, Houston, St. Paul, Wilmington, N.C., and Raleigh, Planning with Neighborhoods offers the first comprehensive description and evaluation of the effectiveness of these programs. Moving beyond theory, this study reviews the actual accomplishments and limitations of neighborhood planning programs and offers specific recommendations for designing a successful program. Included are a thorough history of neighborhood planning programs and an examination of the social, political, and planning theories that support their existence. Eight propositions on the benefits of a neighborood-based approach to planning are derived from this theory and evaluated on the basis of actual experience with this type of program. Speaking to both academics interested in neighborhood issues and planning practitioners, Planning with Neighborhoods concludes with recommendations for establishing effective neighborhood planning programs and improving existing programs.

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 Neighborhood Planning written by Bernie Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1990. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company. This guide explains neighborhood planning for both citizens and professionals. It explains what information to collect, where to get it, and how to assess it; how to pinpoint key issues, set clear goals, and devise strategies to achieve them; and how to package, implement, and update the final plan. Although this book could be used by citizens working alone, Jones advocates a team approach—citizens and professionals planning together. He highlights which tasks are best suited to the professional and how the planner should manage his role as intermediary between the city administration and residents. Jones also takes a detailed look at the neighborhood plan itself. Numerous maps illustrate how to inventory environmental features, land uses, circulation systems, and design features.

Book excerpt: Character Neighborhoods is a guide for preserving, enhancing and creating "complete neighborhoods"... Neighborhoods having a full array of people, incomes and affordable housing with new and preserved single family homes, "missing middle" housing, apartments and condominiums with parks, schools and shops that succeed socially, economically and physically.Character emanates from emotion, from feelings like community pride and hometown spirit, and abstract ideals like happiness, love, authenticity and integrity. Completeness fills in the physical features like decent housing, safe and calm streets, verdant parks, excellent schools and robust nearby shopping districts. A sustainable approach ensures neighborhood durability. Connections make it all work as a holistic system with an integrated "green" physical framework, a sound interdependent economic base and a ubiquitous social network.Resident associations are the critical elements that nurture the vision needed to build a desirable and sustainable residential quality of life. City programs to create and enhance neighborhood associations are essential. Neighborhood plans outline the strategy that becomes a joint venture between the host city and the neighborhood association to turn the community's vision into actions.Citywide regulatory, infrastructure and socialization programs, equally applied to all neighborhoods, are necessary to maintain and enhance strong neighborhoods, improve struggling neighborhoods and properly anticipate yet-to-be built neighborhoods. Planning and implementing comprehensive, long-term programs in every neighborhood builds a strong city.Vision, leadership and participation are the critical factors for sustaining character neighborhoods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book explores the promise and limits of bottom-up, grass-roots strategies of community organizing, development, and planning as blueprints for successful revitalization and maintenance of urban neighborhoods. Peterman proposes conditions that need to be met for bottom-up strategies to succeed. Successful neighborhood development depends not only on local actions, but also on the ability of local groups to marshal resources and political will at levels above that of the neighborhood itself. While he supports community-based initiatives, he argues that there are limits to what can be accomplished exclusively at the grassroots level, where most efforts fail"--Back cover.
