The Equity Planner Five Tools to Facilitate Economic Development with Just Outcomes

The Equity Planner Five Tools to Facilitate Economic Development with Just Outcomes

Economic development is intended to benefit everyone in a community; however in many cases increased public and private investment can result in the pricing out and displacement of existing residents and businesses. How do we achieve more equitable outcomes? The Equity Planner provides a toolkit of practical solutions for planners and all those involved in placemaking to promote thoughtful inclusive planning. Each chapter of The Equity Planner examines one particular aspect of inequity in the urban planning sphere covering issues such as identity retention affordability and the protection and enhancement of local assets. While each chapter offers practicable solutions to these issues the Notes from the Field sections describe how these same tools have been used (either successfully or unsuccessfully) in projects the author has been involved in with a particular focus on the local resistance each project encountered. These real-world case studies are used to suggest methods to overcome such resistance which the reader can then apply to their present initiatives. This book is written for urban planners local activists social scientists policymakers and anyone with an interest in equity planning. This book will be of use to both practicing and training urban planners and architects who seek to add equity planning to their professional repertoire. | The Equity Planner Five Tools to Facilitate Economic Development with Just Outcomes

The Climate Planner Overcoming Pushback Against Local Mitigation and Adaptation Plans

The Climate Planner is about overcoming the objections to climate change mitigation and adaption that urban planners face at a local level. It shows how to draft climate plans that encounter less resistance because they involve the public stakeholders and decisionmakers in a way that builds trust creates consensus and leads to implementation. Although focused on the local level this book discusses climate basics such as carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the Paris Agreement of 2015 worldwide energy generation forecasts and other items of global concern in order to familiarize urban planners and citizen planners with key concepts that they will need to know in order to be able to host climate conversations at the local level. The many case studies from around the United States of America show how communities have encountered pushback and bridged the implementation gap the gap between plan and reality thanks to a commitment to substantive public engagement. The book is written for urban planners local activists journalists elected or appointed representatives and the average citizen worried about climate breakdown and interested in working to reshape the built environment. | The Climate Planner Overcoming Pushback Against Local Mitigation and Adaptation Plans

The TVA Regional Planning and Development Program The Transformation of an Institution and Its Mission

The TVA Regional Planning and Development Program The Transformation of an Institution and Its Mission

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a world-renowned model for regional planning and development. Based along the Tennessee River and its series of hydro-electric power stations dams and reservoirs the TVA development program envisioned a broad regional planning program. The program focused on development opportunities and problems around the array of TVA dams and their reservoirs. It also created new 'model' towns and pioneered land-use planning bringing together federal state and local agencies farmers foresters and industrial firms to further the economic social and physical conditions of what had been one of the most seriously lagging regions of the U. S. This book is based on the memoirs and experiences of Aelred J. Gray former planner with the TVA who saw the 'big picture' and introduced much of the pioneering work of the agency. Gray worked as a staff planner at the TVA for nearly 40 years including a decade as its chief planner overseeing numerous changes and developments to the Authority's program. As well as building up the regional industrial development and the foundation of state parks he also had a strong interest in the region's cities. In the 1950s he introduced TVA's landmark Flood Prevention Program which became a national model. His review of how this innovative and influential regional development agency functioned and changed through the decades will be of value to all those interested in planning practice planning history and regional politics. | The TVA Regional Planning and Development Program The Transformation of an Institution and Its Mission

Clausewitz Philosopher of War

Clausewitz Philosopher of War

In this edition originally published in 1983 the late Professor Raymond Aron one of France’s most distinguished social scientists presented a major re-evaluation of Carl von Clausewitz ‘the genius of war’. He sees in Clausewitz a political philosopher of major importance whose impact and significance permeate many facets of modern society. Yet Clausewitz’s reputation was entirely posthumous for his great work On War was published after his death and in his lifetime he achieved only a limited reputation as a military thinker and planner. Even today he is more often quoted than closely read. Aron begins by elucidating the complexity of Clausewitz’s thought and by describing his main ideas. He gives an account of the successive phases in the development of On War and traces the different interpretations of Clausewitz’s doctrine in Germany in France and in Soviet Russia. Finally Aron analyses many aspects of the present world using the concepts of Clausewitz and is therefore able to examine such modern phenomena as the theory of the nuclear deterrent and ‘total war’ in Clausewitzian terms. This is a book of piercing insights by a writer of world-wide reputation who used the Clausewitz world-view as a means of political analysis. It is thus still of great importance and interest to contemporary historians and to all who are concerned with military and political affairs. | Clausewitz Philosopher of War

Planning Abu Dhabi An Urban History

Planning Abu Dhabi An Urban History

Abu Dhabi’s urban development path contrasts sharply with its exuberant neighbour Dubai. As Alamira Reem puts it Abu Dhabi capital of the United Arab Emirates since 1971 ‘has been quietly devising its own plans … to manifest its role and stature as a capital city’. Alamira Reem a native Abu Dhabian and urban planner and researcher who has studied the emirate’s development for more than a decade is uniquely placed to write its urban history. Following the introduction and description of Abu Dhabi’s early modern history she focuses on three distinct periods dating from the discovery of oil in 1960 and coinciding with periods in power of the three rulers since then: Sheikh Shakhbut bin Sultan Al Nahyan (1960–1966) Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (1966–2004) and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan (2004–). Based on archival research key interviews and spatial mapping she analyses the different approaches of each ruler to development; investigates the role of planning consultants architects developers construction companies and government agencies; examines the emergence of comprehensive development plans and the policies underlying them; and assesses the effects of these many and varied influences on Abu Dhabi’s development. She concludes that while much still needs to be done Abu Dhabi’s progress towards becoming a global sustainable city provides lessons for cities elsewhere. | Planning Abu Dhabi An Urban History

Planning for the Common Good

Planning for the Common Good

Appeals to the ‘common good’ or ‘public interest’ have long been used to justify planning as an activity. While often criticised such appeals endure in spirit if not in name as practitioners and theorists seek ways to ensure that planning operates as an ethically attuned pursuit. Yet this leaves us with the unavoidable question as to how an ethically sensitive common good should be understood. In response this book proposes that the common good should not be conceived as something pre-existing and ‘out there’ to be identified and applied or something simply produced through the correct configuration of democracy. Instead it is contended that the common good must be perceived as something ‘in here ’ which is known by engagement with the complexities of a context through employing the interpretive tools supplied to one by the moral dimensions of the life in which one is inevitably embedded. This book brings into conversation a series of thinkers not normally mobilised in planning theory including Paul Ricoeur Alasdair MacIntyre and Charles Taylor. These shine light on how the values carried by the planner are shaped through both their relationships with others and their relationship with the ‘tradition of planning’ – a tradition it is argued that extends as a form of reflective deliberation across time and space. It is contended that the mutually constitutive relationship that gives planning its raison d’être and the common good its meaning are conceived through a narrative understanding extending through time that contours the moral subject of planning as it simultaneously profiles the ethical orientation of the discipline. This book provides a new perspective on how we can come to better understand what planning entails and how this dialectically relates to the concept of the common good. In both its aim and approach this book provides an original contribution to planning theory that reconceives why it is we do what we do and how we envisage what should be done differently. It will be of interest to scholars students and practitioners in planning urban studies sociology and geography. | Planning for the Common Good
