The paper opens by stating that both city planning and its tangible results during the 80s and 90s as within the Pamplona Metropolitan Area represent a counterpoint to the same activities during the 50s, 60s and 70s. It is here held that this change in urbanistic attitudes has been made patent through the construction of new residential areas where the quality of their design and a pains-taking attention to their surroundings render this apparent. However. two years after the termination of the "rondas" (ring roads) that encircle the greater part of Pamplona's urban continuum there still remains a call for a General Urban Planning Scheme for the Pamplona Area, and this after nigh thirty years of attempts to draw one up.The main object of this document commissioned by the Navarra Autonomic Government for 1994 is seen to be the definition of any future metropolitan model. ; Los planes urbanísticos de los años 80 y 90 redactados y realizados en el Area Metropolitana de Pamplona constituyen el contrapunto de los de los años 50, 60 y 70. El cambio de cultura urbanística se ha reflejado ya en la realidad con la construcción de nuevas áreas residenciales, en las que son patentes la calidad del diseño y la esmerada atención por el entorno. Dos años después de la puesta en funcionamiento de las "rondas" que engloban gran parte del continuo urbano de Pamplona, queda aún pendiente, sin embargo, tras cerca de treinta años de reiterados intentos, el plan de ordenación urbana de la comarca de Pamplona. El principal objetivo de ese documento, encargado por el Gobierno de Navarra y que debe ser redactado en 1994, será la definición del futuro modelo metropolitano.

Monumental in scale and epic in development, cities have become the most visible and significant symbol of human progress. The geography on and around which they are constructed, however, has come to be viewed merely in terms of its resources and is often laid to waste once its assets have been stripped. The City in Geography is an urban exploration through this phenomenon, from settlement to city through physical geography, which reveals an incremental progression of removing terrain, topography and geography from the built environment, ushering in and advancing global destruction and instability. This book explains how the fall of geography in relationship to human survival has come through the loss of contact between urban dwellers and physical terrain, and details the radical rethinking required to remedy the separations between the city, its inhabitants and the landscape upon which it was built

"Public Consultation and Community Involvement in Planning is the definitive introduction to public consultation for developers, students and planners. The past decade has seen a complete transformation in consultation and community relations in the UK, from increased requirements to consult, to the introduction of neighbourhood planning and a revolution in online communication. Public Consultation and Community Involvement in Planning takes readers through consultation from the basics right through to emerging trends to demonstrate how a successful consultation process can benefit both the developers and the local community. The book begins with a definition of consultation and community involvement and an explanation of their role within the development process, before going on to clarify the legal, ethical, practical and ideological concerns to be addressed by the consultation process. Consultation strategy is explored step by step, and social media and online consultation is explored in detail. This is the first comprehensive guide to modern public consultation within the UK development sector and will be essential reading for developers, students and planners."--Provided by publisher.

"Theory and practice in city planning have never been known for their compatibility. The planner, dealing with stresses such as the personalities at work in a board meeting and coping with the realities of fund raising, political realities, and the like, can find little guidance in the theory of the trade. The issues of poverty groups, whether rural or urban, the provision of services, and the packaging of them are seemingly insuperable. The sheer frustration in the inability to deliver, which so many planners feel, can result in considerable impatience and a questioning of the relevance of theory.The editors argue that this state of affairs, though understandable, is unacceptable. While short-range meliorismwithout sense of perspective may be good for the practitioner's individual psyche, the cost may be borne by the long-run best interests of the groups to be served. The risks of a lack of perspective and the experiences generated by this phenomenon are too serious in their implications to permit the process to continue.In this new age of anxiety it is essential for both planners and theorists to understand their roles as well as provide guidance in shaping them. Burchell and Sternlieb have thus gathered here a variety of individuals, all of whom in their separate and distinct fashions are seasoned, both in practice and in theory. The book is divided into five sections: Physical Planning in Change, Social Planning in Change, Public Policy Planning in Change, Economic Planning in Change, and a final section detailing the roles of planners and who they are. These shared puzzlements and insights will prove useful to all practitioners and theorists in the planning field."--Provided by publisher.

Planning and Conflict discusses the reasons behind, and models the shape of conflicts around urban developments in contemporary cities. It offers an interdisciplinary framework for scholars to engage with the issue of planning conflicts, focusing on both empirical and theoretical inquiry. By creating a model for planners to engage conflicts, and not simply mediate or avoid them, Planning and Conflict provides a theoretically informed look forward to the future of engaged, responsive city development that involves all its stakeholders.
