Download or read book Urban Regeneration and Real Estate Development written by Andrea Ciaramella and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book reflects on how intelligent urban regeneration can be an extraordinary driver of sustainable social and economic progress. It provides a friendly, evergreen and flexible thinking methodology that can serve as a reference guide to address a wide range of initiatives creating the conditions to thrive in an increasingly selective, rapidly changing and unpredictable market context. The book throws light on the importance of adopting an open approach based on collaboration, crafting strong visions, developing appealing value propositions, embracing a modern leadership style and setting-up highly effective multi-disciplinary team for the execution. It illustrates how standard approaches should be re-designed, business models innovated and processes re-engineered to guarantee better alignment between supply and demand of real estate as markets shift and new differentiators emerge among competitors. The book makes clear that creating a vibrant urban ecosystem requires a gradual shift of focus from built-environment investment to socio-economic output. It targets a wide audience of private and public sector professionals active in urban regeneration and real estate development.
Download or read book Urban Regeneration Management written by John Diamond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was born out of the need to ‘capture’ the experience and understanding of the regeneration management process that is neither UK centric nor centred exclusively on urban areas. Written by experts working in the USA, Holland, Greece, Jamaica, Turkey, Spain, Trinidad and the Czech Republic, this book seeks to locate the issue of regeneration in a context which will enable the reader to reflect upon practices which are ‘local’ but are shaped by international processes. As well as proving an accessible review of the theoretical literature on globalisation and its impact upon managing regeneration initiatives, this book also illustrates these theoretical debates with specific examples which provide insight to both urban and rural developments. This book will be of great interest to students, researchers and practitioners engaged in regeneration management, providing a thematic exploration and examination of the ‘global’ regeneration experience.

Download or read book Community Leadership in Area Regeneration written by Derrick Purdue and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community participation is acknowledged to be crucial to the success of regeneration partnerships, yet, there has been little research to date on the 'community leaders' directly involved in partnerships. Leadership styles, inter-sectoral relationships and the interaction between individuals involved in regeneration work are vital in shaping successful partnerships.Community leadership in area regeneration addresses the issues surrounding community leadership, describing, analysing and making recommendations about the ways in which significant people from local communities become involved in partnerships, how they exercise their 'leadership role' and how that role can be enhanced.The report highlights the importance of recognising diversity within communities and explores community leaders' own experiences of area regeneration programmes, looking at participation, capacity building, monitoring and evaluation. The report also argues that if government is to achieve its aim of tackling the problems of socially excluded neighbourhoods, a more bottom-up approach to regeneration partnerships is needed. Good practice recommendations are made, which highlight how best to:strengthen community leadership;support and empower community leaders in partnerships;enhance policy dialogue about community involvement.Community leadership in area regeneration is essential reading for policy makers and those communities involved in regeneration. It is relevant for national and local government, as well as anyone with an interest in area regeneration strategies and practice.
Download or read book Social Regeneration and Local Development written by Silvia Sacchetti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social regeneration is about the transformative processes that, through institutional choices that embody cooperation and inclusion, develop opportunities and capabilities for weak categories, and transversally for society. The challenge of social regeneration can be addressed, in part, through organisational solutions increasingly identified with social economy organisations, since they are characterised by a social objective, cooperation and inclusive democratic governance. Besides the organisational element, Social Regeneration and Local Development provides a new perspective on interacting socio-economic factors, which can work in synergy with the social economy organisations model to promote and sustain social regeneration and well-being. Such elements include civic engagement and social capital, the nature of the welfare system, the use of physical assets in urban and rural areas, leadership, technology, and finance. By analysing organisational and contextual elements, this book offers an institutional perspective on how socio-economic systems can reply to challenges such as social and environmental degradation, financial crises, immigration, inequality, and marginalisation.
Download or read book Leadership and Place written by Chris Collinge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the radical transformation of society associated with globalisation, shifting patterns of demography and the revolution in information and communication technologies over the last two decades, we remain profoundly attached to place in economic, social, cultural and emotional terms. The idea of sustainable place shaping has made its way to the heart of the debate on the form and delivery of integrated (economic development, planning, housing, regeneration, education, transport and health) policy for our neighbourhoods, towns, cities and regions. The delivery of policy for place shaping has become a far more complex cross-boundary and relational leadership task - and there is now a requirement for a refreshed approach to leadership development for collaborative learning and ‘associational’ working. Going forward, what is needed is a more insightful and comprehensive conceptual framework related to the leadership of place that takes account of the paradigm shift occurring in economic development, planning and regeneration studies. Against this background, this timely book takes stock of the leadership literature and connects with the experience and views of those working in economic development, planning and regeneration. In this book we seek to enhance the discussion of these new leadership challenges. This collection first appeared as a special issue of Policy Studies and is now published by kind permission in the Regional Studies Association book series, Regions and Cities.
Download or read book Leadership in Planning written by Jeff Levine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being an effective city planner means being an effective leader. You need to be prepared to convince people that good planning matters. Often a well-written, thoughtful and inclusive plan doesn’t result in meaningful action, because planners don’t show leadership skills. At some point, some city planners become cynical and worn down, wondering why no one listens to them but not doing the self-reflection about how that could change. Leadership in Planning explains how to get support for planning initiatives so they don’t just fade from memory. It will guide city planners to think less about organizational charts and more about: · being a respected voice within your organization, both with staff and with your boss; · being a good communicator with people outside your organization; and · being able to understand how and when to push for good planning ideas to turn them into actions. Along the way, case studies bring these concepts to the real world of municipal planning. In addition, past planning figures’ actions are explored to see what they did right and what mistakes they made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book by leadership and sustainability experts Giles Hutchins and Laura Storm provides an exciting and comprehensive framework for building regenerative life-affirming businesses. It offers a multitude of business cases, fascinating examples from nature's living systems, insights from the front-line pioneers and tools and techniques for leaders to succeed and thrive in the 21st century. Regenerative Leadership draws inspiration from pioneering thinking within biomimicry, circular economy, adult developmental psychology, anthropology, biophilia, sociology, complexity theory and next-stage leadership development. It connects the dots between these fields through a powerful framework that enables leadership to become regenerative: in harmony with life, building thriving, prosperous organizations amid transformational times. The book is a combination of theoretical frameworks, case studies, tools & practices: Everything the leader needs to be successful in the 21st century. Regenerative Leadership - what's it all about? While the future is uncertain, we clearly see an upward trend towards sustainable conscious business. And this is more than just a trend - we're witnessing a new kind of organization emerging. An organization which is able to rapidly sense and respond to the ever-changing business climate by innovating how and why it creates and delivers value, and the way it engages internally and externally with its ecosystem of employees, customers, suppliers, resources, investors, society and environment. This new kind of organization is the organization-as-living-system that is designed on the Logic of Life: life-affirming businesses that thrive from the inside out, by cultivating conditions conducive for life, internally and externally. These organizations nurture flourishing cultures while focusing on products and services that enhance society and the environment. Regenerative organizations will be tomorrow's success stories.

Critical success factors are identified which can help to guide cities and regions to develop event strategies. This book is essential reading for any undergraduate or graduate student and all practitioners and policy-makers involved in event management, cultural management, arts administration, urban studies, cultural studies and tourism.

Download or read book Urban Development Partnerships Challenges for Leadership and Management written by Daniel Khong and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Partnership' is a term which is used very liberally in the context of large scale urban development. Mixed-use, brownfield projects, transit-oriented development, urban regeneration: all these projects require partnerships of a sort. This thesis reviews definitions of partnership and outlines benefits and shortcomings. In addition, managerial tools, group work processes, and leadership strategies are discussed with a view to understanding what the most effective approaches are to working in partnership. Managing consensus across organization boundaries and over long project durations is difficult. Indeed, it is arguably an amplification of dealing with the internal workings of a multi-disciplinary company. Approaches differ from building collaborative cultures, focusing on formal structures, and strengthening social and political networks. In reality, all three are always at play. However, circumstances, culture, and personal leadership preferences, will contribute to why one strategy might dominate in a given situation. The thesis finds that partnership in urban development is a reality which no sector has the luxury of avoiding. However, it may be possible to increase the scope and benefits of partnership, particularly in the making of great urban places. To do so will involve rethinking this mode of working to extend the breadth of activities. It will involve a broader range of partners representing a greater variety of interests and bringing wider capabilities. Inevitably, this will add further complexity. In order to assist leaders and managers in the middle of such contexts, a managerial framework has been developed. It is both a diagnostic and strategic tool to deal with the integration challenges, political and cultural dynamics of partnership situations.
