Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politics and Conflict in Governance and Planning offers a critical evaluation of manifold ways in which the political dimension is reflected in contemporary planning and governance. While the theoretical debates on post-politics and the wider frame of post-foundational political theory provide substantive explanations for the crisis in planning and governance, still there is a need for a better understanding of how the political is manifested in the planning contents, shaped by institutional arrangements and played out in the planning processes. This book undertakes a reassessment of the changing role of the political in contemporary planning and governance. Employing a wide range of empirical research conducted in several regions of the world, it draws a more complex and heterogeneous picture of the context-specific depoliticisation and repoliticisation processes taking place in local and regional planning and governance. It shows not only the domination of market forces and the consequent suppression of the political but also how political conflicts and struggles are defined, tackled and transformed in view of the multifaceted rules and constraints recently imposed to local and regional planning. Switching the focus to how strategies and forms of depoliticised governance can be repoliticised through renewed planning mechanisms and socio-political mobilisation, Politics and Conflict in Governance and Planning is a critical and much needed contribution to the planning literature and its incorporation of the post-politics and post-democracy debate.
Download or read book Cities and the Politics of Difference written by Michael Burayidi and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demographic change and a growing sensitivity to the diversity of urban communities have increasingly led planners to recognize the necessity of planning for diversity. Edited by Michael A. Burayidi, Cities and the Politics of Difference offers a guide for making diversity a cornerstone of planning practice. The essays in this collection cover the practical and theoretical issues that surround this transformation, discussing ways of planning for inclusive and multicultural cities, enhancing the cultural competence of planners, and expanding the boundaries of planning for multiculturalism to include dimensions of diversity other than ethnicity and religion – including sexual and gender minorities and Indigenous communities. The advice of the contributors on how planners should integrate considerations of diversity in all its forms and guises into practice and theory will be valuable to scholars and practitioners at all levels of government.

Download or read book Local and Regional Development written by Andy Pike and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-11-22 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local and regional development is an increasingly global issue. For localities and regions, the challenge of enhancing prosperity, improving wellbeing and increasing living standards has become acute for localities and regions formerly considered discrete parts of the ‘developed’ and ‘developing’ worlds. Amid concern over the definitions and sustainability of ‘development’, a spectre has emerged of deepened unevenness and sharpened inequalities in the development prospects for particular social groups and territories. Local and Regional Development engages and addresses the key questions: what are the principles and values that shape definitions and strategies of local and regional development? What are the conceptual and theoretical frameworks capable of understanding and interpreting local and regional development? What are the main policy interventions and instruments? How do localities and regions attempt to effect development in practice? What kinds of local and regional development should we be pursuing? This book addresses the fundamental issues of ‘what kind of local and regional development and for whom?’, frameworks of understanding, and instruments and policies. It outlines what a holistic, progressive and sustainable local and regional development might constitute before reflecting on its limits and political renewal. With the growing international importance of local and regional development, this book is an essential student purchase, illustrated throughout with maps, figures and case studies from Asia, Europe, and Central and North America.
Download or read book Multicultural Planning in Mid Sized Cities written by Nicole M. Kurtz and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiculturalism embraces racial and cultural differences within a society. This is a well-established aspect of Canadian life, especially in Canada's largest cities because the majority of immigrants prefer to settle in major urban areas. Planning practice in these large cities has evolved to reflect and incorporate considerations of multiculturalism. However, the experience in many of Canada's mid-sized cities is considerably different. While mid-sized cities see benefits in attracting immigrants and multiculturalism, planning practice seems less progressive in this sense. This thesis explores how urban planners in Ontario's mid-sized cites could incorporate multiculturalism in order to promote more inclusive planning practice. This research reveals that planners in Ontario's mid-sized cities do not have a clear perception of multicultural planning due to several key factors, which include a lack of training, the modernist principles of urban planning in a postmodern society, and inter-departmental dis-connects within local government administrations. Further, the study demonstrates that many planners do not consider multicultural planning to be an important issue due to the lack of cultural diversity within their city. Based on these and related findings, this thesis recommends that additional training on multicultural planning be required within all planning schools, and that practicing planners should be required to take continuing studies on multicultural planning and current planning issues. Furthermore, it recommends planners learn how to promote an inclusive practice, and require all federal and provincial planning legislation and leading organizations (CIP, OPPI, PA, and PSB) work together to determine the role of planners and cultural diversity at the municipal level. Planning Departments should establish stronger protocols in order to ensure they are aware of all cultural plans and initiatives within the municipality, which impact land use and social planning; this reflects the dis-connect between various municipal departments and the Planning Department. Furthermore, planners should promote a more inclusive planning practice by encouraging immigrants to participate in their local government, and consider cultural differences when conducting public participation and outreach.
