Book excerpt: This manual is intended to help those who are seeking to involve others in sustainable community planning and development move through the various stages of participatory sustainable community planning smoothly and effectively. Principles, tools, methods and guidelines included in the manual are drawn from a wide range of expertise areas and input from experienced practitioners. Following a brief introduction providing reasons for the manual, a description of the intended audience, an overview of contents and guidance for use, the manual is presented in four main sections. The first section, "Initiation", focuses on participation in the sustainable community planning context and includes special attention to key participation principles, levels of participation, and the issues and benefits of multi-stakeholder participation in sustainable community planning. The second section, "Preparation", outlines in detail ten important steps for effective planning, implementation and follow-up. A series of tear-out tips and checklists for this section are provided in an appendix. Section III, "Participation", presents essential tools and a 'toolkit' for participation in sustainablecommunity planning. The toolkit includes short sheets outlining five general types of participation activity; a toolbox of more than 150 individual tools and methods useful for various activities; and a series of scenario maps which illustrate the ways various tools can be sequenced and how stakeholders can be involved throughout a particular planning process. Tool examples and resources for this section are included in the appendices. The final wrap-up section of the manual, "Continuation", addresses ways for ensuring ongoingparticipation in planning, and speaks to the changing roles of planners and citizens in the process. In sum, the aims of this book are:-- To provide users with a framework for developing an understanding of participation processes and issues; guidance for planning effective and continuous participatory sustainable community planning programs; and tools for undertaking such programs;-- To help shift community planning from one where planners say, "We'll figure it out and doit for you" to one where it is agreed that "We'll work and learn together" to find creativesolutions and achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.

Download or read book Planning Development and Management of Sustainable Cities written by Tan Yigitcanlar and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of ‘sustainable urban development’ has been pushed to the forefront of policymaking and politics as the world wakes up to the impacts of climate change and the destructive effects of the Anthropocene. Climate change has emerged to be one of the biggest challenges faced by our planet today, threatening both built and natural systems with long-term consequences, which may be irreversible. While there is a vast body of literature on sustainability and sustainable urban development, there is currently limited focus on how to cohesively bring together the vital issues of the planning, development, and management of sustainable cities. Moreover, it has been widely stated that current practices and lifestyles cannot continue if we are to leave a healthy living planet to not only the next generation, but also to the generations beyond. The current global school strikes for climate action (known as Fridays for Future) evidences this. The book advocates the view that the focus needs to rest on ways in which our cities and industries can become green enough to avoid urban ecocide. This book fills a gap in the literature by bringing together issues related to the planning, development, and management of cities and focusing on a triple-bottom-line approach to sustainability.

Download or read book Sustaining Places written by David R. Godschalk and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning for sustainability is the defining challenge of the 21st century. More than any other single endeavor, it confronts the critical perils to our future, from energy shortages and environmental stress to climate shifts and population surges. That's the argument of a forward-looking new report from the American Planning Association. In plain language, authors David R. Godschalk, FAICP, and William R. Anderson, FAICP, show how cities, towns, and regions can work together to meet the challenge. These leading planners put forward eight principles for developing comprehensive plans that address today's needs without compromising the needs of the next generation. Case studies demonstrate sustainability planning at work in cities including Seattle and San Diego and smaller communities like Keene, New Hampshire, and Union County, Pennsylvania. Sustaining Places gives planners, local officials, and involved citizens a practical framework for understanding today's concerns and a roadmap for moving toward a better future. The report culminates the American Planning Association's multiyear, multifaceted Sustaining Places Initiative.
Download or read book Sustainable Community Planning and Development Design Charrette Planning Guide Final Report written by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design charrettes are becoming increasingly popular as a way to bring a range of expertise and interests together to collaborate on creating innovative design solutions and embody multiple objectives and mutual interests. They give visual form to ideas and policies and can be used to test and refine planning and development policies and directions. Overall, they are a means to obtain the most creative proposals for addressing the most difficult problems in the least amount of time. This manual is intended as a guide for those who would like to host or otherwise initiate a design charrette process for sustainable community planning. It is directed particularly at the urban planning context but has application to other planning contexts as well. The opening chapter begins with an introduction to the concepts and elements of sustainable development and 'sustainable community', and the role of design. Design charrettes and charrette-like events are then explored in more detail in terms of their purposes, usefulness and contribution to policy development and community planning. The chapter is intended to provide foundational information regarding sustainability planning, and guidance for deciding how a design charrette can be useful in your local community. The next chapter outlines key issues and steps involved in confirming a 'go ahead' for hosting or otherwise becoming involved with a charrette. This section examines the decision-making context, allies and resources, ways of building support and promoting the plan, and getting formal approvals. "Readiness Assessments" help you determine whether or not you are ready to proceed and what to do next in accordance with your answers. Chapter 3, Pre-Charrette Planning: Roll up Your Sleeves, is focused on the host of tasks to be completed in advance of a charrette. It includes sections on the stakeholder community and communications; consultants and facilitators; advance meetings and options; design issues including detailed discussion on the development of the design brief; design team formation and participant selection; time and timing; venue and facilities; support materials; and additional logistics. Sample schedules, products and lists are provided. The final chapters focus on the choreography, management and documentation of the charrette itself. Guidance and coaching hints for handling all the products of the charrette along with post-charrette communications and presentations is contained in the final chapter.
