Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecological processes do not adhere to political boundaries. As planners grapple to accommodate natural processes with human development, these borders must be reevaluated and strategies of coordination across them must be developed. Transcending these boundaries is necessary to achieve environmental goals. This transformation is currently occurring in metropolitan areas across the country, as regional planning institutions evaluate mechanisms and strategies for collaboration, conservation, and protection. The primary purpose of this study is to examine the methods used by the Intertwine Alliance, a collaborative partnership of public, private, and nonprofit actors in the greater Portland, Oregon region, to develop a regional open-space conservation strategy. By comparing the strategies, difficulties, and opportunities discussed in the existing literature with lessons learned from the Intertwine Alliance case study, this study attempts to identify critical factors essential to the development of open-space planning efforts at a regional scale and details possible solutions to address the greatest challenges presented by this type of work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current panorama of urban growth and planning in many urban territories of western societies, open spaces are residual spaces of urban occupation or are reserved for eventual occupation. Open spaces have been viewed in this manner in the earlier stages of the compact city and especially now, in a time of the dispersed territories characterized by discontinuity, heterogeneity, and fragmentation. The disciplinary perspectives of ecology, geology, landscape architecture, and urbanism, but also public opinion, have for some time promoted the conservation and protection of the most valuable natural spaces, and efforts have been made to remove such spaces from the real estate market. However, such positions, usually radical, are insufficient for territorial equilibrium and inevitably lead to the progressive disappearance of valuable natural spaces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industries that drive economic growth and support our comfortable modern lifestyles have exploited natural resources to do so. But now there's growing understanding that business can benefit from a better relationship with the environment. Leading corporations have begun to leverage nature-based remediation, restoration, and enhanced lands management to meet a variety of business needs, such as increasing employee engagement and establishing key performance indicators for reporting and disclosures. Strategic Corporate Conservation Planning offers fresh insights for corporations and environmental groups looking to create mutually beneficial partnerships that use conservation action to address business challenges and realize meaningful environmental outcomes. Recognizing the long history of mistrust between corporate action and environmental effort, Strategic Corporate Conservation Planning begins by explaining how to identify priorities that will yield a beneficial relationship between a company and nonprofit. Next, O'Gorman offers steps for creating ecologically-focused projects that address key business needs. Chapters highlight existing projects with different scales of engagement, emphasizing that headline-generating, multimillion dollar commitments are not necessarily the most effective approach. Myriad case studies featuring programs from habitat restoration to environmental educational initiatives at companies like Bridgestone USA, General Motors, and CRH Americas are included to help spark new ideas. With limited government funding available for conservation and increasing competition for grant support, corporate efforts can fill a growing need for environmental stewardship while also providing business benefits. Strategic Corporate Conservation Planning presents a comprehensive approach for effective engagement between the public and private sector, encouraging pragmatic partnerships that benefit us all.

Book excerpt: This report explores how American communities have historically protected and maintained open space through a combination of planning strategies, regulatory measures, public investments and private initiatives. Since the fiscal and economic implications of open space conservation are crucial to policymaking, the report describes several methods for estimating the economic value of open space to communities. It then analyses the effectiveness of various alternatives used to finance open space acquisitions. With this information, citizens and policymakers can think strategically about conservation opportunities in their communities.
