This book was released on 2000 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government prides itself on its 'cross-cutting' approach, but there is little evidence of this in the preparation for the Urban White Paper. Some policies are in place which will assist the urban renaissance, but mostly the picture is more depressing. Most parts of Government appear to see urban policy, not as a means of transforming cities, but only as a way of tackling the the problems of deprived areas. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) do not appear to have the same views about the role of cities in the regional economy. The quality of people and institutions involved in urban design is critical but the funding provided by the Department of Culture Media and Sport to support them is inadequate. Worst of all, the Treasury appears to have kicked the report into the long grass. It is disgraceful that over a year after the report was published, the Treasury has come to no conclusions about the proposed fiscal measures put forward by the Task Force, and will not come to any until November at the earliest.

Download or read book Urban Planning and Real Estate Development written by John Ratcliffe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-01-19 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twin processes of planning and property development are inextricably linked – it’s not possible to carry out a development strategy without an understanding of the planning process, and equally planners need to know how real estate developers do their job. This third edition of Urban Planning and Real Estate Development guides students through the procedural and practical aspects of developing land from the point of view of both planner and developer. The planning system is explained, from the increasing emphasis on spatial planning at a regional level down to the detailed perspective of the development control process and the specialist requirements of historic buildings and conservation areas. At the same time the authors explain the entire development process from inception through appraisal, valuation and financing to completion and disposal. This is an invaluable textbook for real estate and planning students, and helps to meet the requirements of the RICS and RTPI Assessment of Professional Competence.

Download or read book The Divided City written by Alan Mallach and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Divided City, urban practitioner and scholar Alan Mallach presents a detailed picture of what has happened over the past 15 to 20 years in industrial cities like Pittsburgh and Baltimore, as they have undergone unprecedented, unexpected revival. He spotlights these changes while placing them in their larger economic, social and political context. Most importantly, he explores the pervasive significance of race in American cities, and looks closely at the successes and failures of city governments, nonprofit entities, and citizens as they have tried to address the challenges of change. The Divided City concludes with strategies to foster greater equality and opportunity, firmly grounding them in the cities' economic and political realities.
Download or read book Sex and the Revitalized City written by Leslie Kern and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a recent wave of condominium development overtook Toronto, women emerged as powerful consumers, and reports claimed that home ownership was offering young, single women freedom, financial independence, and personal security. Sex and the Revitalized City examines the truth of these claims by exploring the phenomenon from the perspective of women condo owners and planners and developers. This fresh perspective on urban revitalization reveals that condo ownership is not freeing women from constraints – neoliberal ideologies are remaking women's relationship with the city in the image of fast capital and consumer citizenship. Women's emancipation through condominium ownership is a marketing ploy rather than a major shift in gender relations.
