This book was released on 2011 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this research was to identify the impact of Auckland's new regional governance structure on community engagement, particularly at the local level. A case study was undertaken on each of three principal institutional elements in the new structure: local boards, council controlled organisations (CCOs), and advisory panels. The case studies explored new community engagement mechanisms that were introduced in relation to these institutions. Through a review of secondary data sources, the mechanisms were analysed against four criteria: new or improved opportunities to engage; the deliberative quality of the engagement process; the effectiveness or achievement of outcomes that resulted; and localism, which considered if there was sufficient ability to either develop local policy or to influence regional policy that has local impacts. The analysis found that the mechanisms available to local boards made a strong contribution overall to community engagement. There was little evidence that the public meetings requirements imposed on CCOs were anything more than superficial. The advisory panels were considered to have the potential to make a more significant contribution but further mechanisms were required in that regard. The findings do not support the theory that a coercive regional governance structure provides a disincentive for local politicians to engage with their communities and results in a loss of local autonomy. The establishment of local boards has provided the incentive and mandate for local politicians to respond to the preferences of their communities. They are supported in this by non-regulatory decision making powers and other mechanisms that provide the means to develop policy in the local interest without inhibiting the achievement of regional priorities and preferences. Thus, a more cohesive and unified approach to region wide decision making is achieved, without unduly compromising community engagement. Three recommendations are made: develop mechanisms to facilitate the early involvement of local boards in regional strategy and policy development; investigate mechanisms to strengthen the relationship between local boards and the substantive CCOs to ensure community views are adequately represented in their decisions; and establish specific mechanisms to enable the advisory panels to more effectively communicate the interests and preferences of their communities.

Download or read book The Public City written by Brendan Gleeson and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Mees' urban ideal counted on watchful, confident and well-informed citizenry to work collectively in a quest for fair and just cities. As such, The Public City is largely a critique of neo-liberalism and its arguably negative influence on urban prospects. As Mees explained it, neo-liberal urbanism was much more than a political aberration; it was a threat that imposed many costly failures in an age overshadowed by grave ecological challenges. Fifteen of Australia and New Zealand's leading urban scholars, including Professor Emeritus Jean Hillier and Professor Brendan Gleeson, have contributed to this collection. The Public City includes a foreword by the late Professor Sir Peter Hall, a world leader in urban planning from Britain. Kenneth Davidson, one of Australia's top economic columnists, has also contributed a chapter. The collective works in this book extend beyond an analysis of urban patterns to provide a blueprint for the improvement of civic and institutional purpose in the creation of the public city.

Download or read book Australia s Metropolitan Imperative written by Richard Tomlinson and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2018-07-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1990s there has been a global trend towards governmental devolution. However, in Australia, alongside deregulation, public–private partnerships and privatisation, there has been increasing centralisation rather than decentralisation of urban governance. Australian state governments are responsible for the planning, management and much of the funding of the cities, but the Commonwealth government has on occasion asserted much the same role. Disjointed policy and funding priorities between levels of government have compromised metropolitan economies, fairness and the environment. Australia’s Metropolitan Imperative: An Agenda for Governance Reform makes the case that metropolitan governments would promote the economic competitiveness of Australia’s cities and enable more effective and democratic planning and management. The contributors explore the global metropolitan ‘renaissance’, document the history of metropolitan debate in Australia and demonstrate metropolitan governance failures. They then discuss the merits of establishing metropolitan governments, including economic, fiscal, transport, land use, housing and environmental benefits. The book will be a useful resource for those engaged in strategic, transport and land use planning, and a core reference for students and academics of urban governance and government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities are often seen as helpless victims in a global flow of events and many view growing inequality in cities as inevitable. This engaging book rejects this gloomy prognosis and argues that imaginative place-based leadership can enable citizens to shape the urban future in accordance with progressive values – advancing social justice, promoting care for the environment and bolstering community empowerment. This international and comparative book, written by an experienced author, shows how inspirational civic leaders are making a major difference in cities across the world. The analysis provides practical lessons for local leaders and a significant contribution to thinking on public service innovation for anyone who wants to change urban society for the better.
