Download or read book Planning Regional Futures written by John Harrison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning Regional Futures is an intellectual call to engage planners to critically explore what planning is, and should be, in how cities and regions are planned. This is in a context where planning is seen to face powerful challenges – professionally, intellectually and practically – in ways arguably not seen before: planning is no longer solely the domain of professional planners but opened-up to a diverse group of actors; the link between the study of cities and regions, which traditionally had a disciplinary home in planning schools and the like, steadily eroded as research increasingly takes place in interdisciplinary research institutes; the advent of real-time modelling posing fundamental challenges for the type of long-term perspective that planning has traditionally afforded; ‘regional planning’ and its mixed record of achievement; and, the link between ‘region’ and ‘planning’ becoming decoupled as alternative regional (and other spatial) approaches to planning have emerged. This book takes up the intellectual and practical challenge of planning regional futures, moving beyond the narrow confines of existing debate and providing a forum for debating what planning is, and should be, for in how we plan cities and regions. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Regional Studies.

Extrait: ...compagnie que les West-India dodu. produits; mais le moyen de tenir son attention eveillee au milieu d'un va-et-vient perpetuel de petites brouettes chargees de marchandises, qui courent avec des roues de fer entre les jambes des passans?--Ici tout travaille, tout a une forme vivante. Des grues scellees par la base dans la pierre agitent leur long cou et tendent du bout de leur bec des sacs remplis de biscuits aux navires en train d'appareiller. De temps en temps il faut passer d'un cote des bassins a l'autre, sur le rebord des portes qui servent a retenir les eaux: ce sont a la fois des ponts tournans et des ecluses. On s'enfonce ainsi dans de nouveaux quartiers, dans des rues s'ouvrant derriere des rues, ou des hommes gravement assis devant des tables dressees en plein air enregistrent les marchandises sur un livre de comptes. Cependant une heure vient de sonner a l'horloge des docks: les travaux manuels sont suspendus, des groupes d'ouvriers en veste de toile blanche et en pantalon de velours de coton a cotes s'acheminent vers la grande porte de sortie pour chercher leur diner. Nous profiterons de leur absence et de la solitude relative des quais pour examiner les vaisseaux. Les bassins artificiels des East-India docks, ayant ete destines a recevoir de tres grands navires, n'ont jamais moins de vingt-trois pieds d'eau, dans laquelle sommeillent des batimens de toutes les formes et de tous les pays. Les Anglais admirent fort ces machines flottantes, sorties en grande partie de leurs chantiers, et pour peu qu'on vive parmi eux, on se laisse aisement gagner a...

Download or read book Planning for Growth written by Fulong Wu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning for Growth: Urban and Regional Planning in China provides an overview of the changes in China’s planning system, policy, and practices using concrete examples and informative details in language that is accessible enough for the undergraduate but thoroughly grounded in a wealth of research and academic experience to support academics. It is the first accessible text on changing urban and regional planning in China under the process of transition from a centrally planned socialist economy to an emerging market in the world. Fulong Wu, a leading authority on Chinese cities and urban and regional planning, sets up the historical framework of planning in China including its foundation based on the proactive approach to economic growth, the new forms of planning, such as the ‘strategic spatial plan’ and ‘urban cluster plans’, that have emerged and stimulated rapid urban expansion and transformed compact Chinese cities into dispersed metropolises. And goes on to explain the new planning practices that began to pay attention to eco-cities, new towns and new development areas. Planning for Growth: Urban and Regional Planning in China demonstrates that planning is not necessarily an ‘enemy of growth’ and plays an important role in Chinese urbanization and economic growth. On the other hand, it also shows planning’s limitations in achieving a more sustainable and just urban future.
Download or read book Regional Planning for a Sustainable America written by Carleton K. Montgomery and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-19 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional Planning for a Sustainable America is the first book to represent the great variety of today’s effective regional planning programs, analyzing dozens of regional initiatives across North America. The American landscape is being transformed by poorly designed, sprawling development. This sprawl—and its wasteful resource use, traffic, and pollution—does not respect arbitrary political boundaries like city limits and state borders. Yet for most of the nation, the patterns of development and conservation are shaped by fragmented, parochial local governments and property developers focused on short-term economic gain. Regional planning provides a solution, a means to manage human impacts on a large geographic scale that better matches the natural and economic forces at work. By bringing together the expertise of forty-two practitioners and academics, this book provides a practical guide to the key strategies that regional planners are using to achieve truly sustainable growth.
