"In dieser Untersuchung wird ein simultanes Gleichungssystem zur Schätzung des
Beitrags von Verkehrsinfrastrukturinvestitionen zu regionalem Wachstum verwendet.
Es wird explizit der politische Prozeß modelliert, der Infrastrukturinvestitionen
determiniert; dadurch wird eine mögliche Ursache einer verzerrten Parameterschätzung
vermieden, die eintreten kann, wenn Produktionsfunktionen einzeln geschätzt werden.
Gleichzeitig fließen in das Modell weitere empirisch überprüfbare Hypothesen über die
Determinanten von Infrastrukturpolitik ein. Die empirischen Ergebnisse für einen
Paneldatensatz mit 21 französischen Regionen im Zeitraum 1985-1991 zeigen, daß
unterstützende Aktivitäten in der Tat einen signifikanten Einfluß auf die regionale
Allokation von Verkehrsinfrastrukturinvestitionen haben. Darüber hinaus werden nur
wenig empirische Hinweise dafür gefunden, daß auch erwartete Produktivitätseffekte
von Infrastruktur bei der regionalen Allokation in Frankreich von Bedeutung sind." (Autorenreferat)

She received her A.B. from Harvard University in government, her M.A. from Boston University in African Studies, and her Ph.D. in political science from MIT. Susan Fainstein's theoretical stance was forged in the late 1960s and 1970s when urban political movements were inspiring young urbanist intellectuals. Her concern for inequality and social justice and her use of a political economic framework for analyzing them have remained consistent to this day. The evolution of her thought has been driven by her empirical work, which has led her to misgivings about the potential of community empowerment to achieve progressive change for two reasons: neighborhoods themselves can be dominated by self-serving agendas; and when neighborhood agendas are progressive, they are unlikely to prevail ...

Metropolen sind ökonomische Knotenpunkte, in denen sich Menschen und Märkte ballen, und sie sind Verflechtungsräume, in denen sich wirtschaftliche, kulturelle, soziale Entwicklungslinien verdichten und verbinden. Wandel prägt sich zunächst in Metropolen aus, hier treffen Modernisierungsdruck und Gestaltungswille am heftigsten und produktivsten aufeinander. Das Ruhrgebiet, genauer: die multizentrische Metropolregion Ruhrgebiet, steht für einen sehr tiefgreifenden Wandel vom industriellen Kernland zu einer Dienstleistungs- und Kulturregion, die sich auf das Jahr der "Kulturhauptstadt Ruhr.2010" vorbereitet. Diese ökonomische Neuausrichtung, die (Eigen-)Dynamiken der Zentren in der Region, die politische Verhandlung des Wandels, die Formen sozialräumlicher Identitätsbildung und auch Segregation machen das Ruhrgebiet zu einem Laborfall für die Metropolenforschung. In sechs Kapiteln sind Literaturnachweise und Darstellungen zu Forschungsprojekten versammelt. Unter dem Titel "Strukturwandel und Regionalentwicklung" finden sich vor allem empirische und theoretische Überblicksarbeiten oder solche, die mehrere Facetten des Wandels thematisieren. Auf den Wirtschaftssektor enggeführte Untersuchungen sind im zweiten Kapitel "Wirtschaft und Arbeitsmarkt" zusammengefasst. Demographische Entwicklung und die besonderen Effekte durch Wanderungsbewegungen stehen im Mittelpunkt des dritten Abschnitts. Milieus, Lebenswelten, soziale Partizipation und kulturelle Formen beleuchten die Kapitel vier – "Segregation und Ungleichheiten" – und fünf – "Kultur, Identitäten, Lebenswelten" – aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Im sechsten Kapitel schließlich sind historische Arbeiten aufgeführt.

Thesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, City and Regional Planning, Izmir, 2019 ; Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 111-125) ; Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and English ; This study draws on an inquiry into the transformation of an abandoned old industrial site in the rear port of İzmir Alsancak, Turkey. This area is a critical example regarding that it has been undergoing neoliberal urbanisation consisting of deindustrialisation, urban entrepreneurialism and gentrification. The deindustrialisation practices and the rising of neoliberal policies, the rear port of İzmir Alsancak have gained an exceptionally increased value and potential for urban entrepreneurial practices. This area has been undergoing a radical transformation by the way of incremental speculative redevelopment projects. Huge complexes of luxury housing, commerce and tourism have been rising on the large and single owned parcels. Planning is included in this process as a tool by the central government and local government at different scales of development plans. Frequently changing regulations and transferring rights through privatization programs on behalf of speculative projects of private entrepreneurs have to lead to redevelopment and gentrification of old industrial sites. Firstly, the relationship between urban space and capitalism as a mode of production is going to be mentioned. Secondly, the changes in the regime of capital accumulation and the rising of neoliberalism are going to be summarized. Moreover, the relationship between neoliberalism and urban entrepreneurialism, speculative urbanisation and gentrification will be stated. Thirdly, Turkey's neoliberal urbanisation and deindustrialisation process will be examined. Finally, in light of all these concepts, the transformation process of the rear port of İzmir Alsancak is examined and criticized. ; Bu tez İzmir Alsancak liman arkası bölgesindeki eski endüstriyel alanların dönüşümünü incelemektedir. Bu çalışma alanı neoliberal yeniden yapılanma sürecinde sanayisizleşme, kentsel girişimcilik ve soylulaştırma kavramları için önemli bir örnektir. İzmir Alsancak liman arkası, sanayisizleşme süreçleri ve neoliberal politikaların yükselişi ile kentsel girişimcilik pratikleri için kaçınılmaz olarak önemli bir değer kazanmıştır. Bu çalışma alanında dönüşüm süreci parçacı ve spekülatif dönüşüm projeleri ile gerçekleşmektedir.Tek sahipli ve büyük eski endüstriyel alanlar üzerinde büyük ve lüks konut, ticaret ve turizm kullanımları yer almaktadır. Planlama disiplini ise sürece merkezi yönetimin ve yerel yönetimin önemli bir aracı olarak dahil olmaktadır. Yasasızlaştırma politikaları, yeniden düzenleme politikaları ve özelleştirme programları ile mülkiyet hakkının devredilmesi ve kentsel girişimcilik pratikleri eski sanayi alanlarının yeniden değerlendirilmesine ve soylulaştırılmasına sebep olmaktadır. İlk olarak, kentsel mekan ve bir üretim biçimi olarak kapitalizmin ilişkisi incelenecektir. İkinci olarak, sermaye birikim süreçlerinin değişimi ve neoliberal politikaların yükselişi aktarılacaktır. Ardından, neoliberal kentleşmenin kentsel girişimcilik, spekülatif kentleşme ve soylulaştırma kavramları ile ilişkisi incelenecektir. Üçüncü olarak, Türkiye'de neoliberal kentleşme ve sanayisizleşme süreci aktarılacaktır. Son olarak, İzmir Alsancak liman arkasının dönüşüm süreci incelenecektir.

The 2018 High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) took place from 9–18 July at the UN Headquarters in New York under the theme: "Transformation towards sustainable and resilient societies".The 2018 HLPF focused on the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for allGoal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for allGoal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainableGoal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patternsGoal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity lossGoal 17: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, that will be considered each yearStatement made at the Forum by Suzanne Ingram in relation to Sustainable Development Goal 11IPMG: SDG 11 – Make cities and human settlements inclusive,safe, resilient and sustainableMy name is Suzanne Ingram, I am Wiradjuri from Australia. I acknowledge the traditional custodians on whose lands I address this esteemed forum today.The Indigenous Peoples Major Group is concerned that, while the words of SDG 11 may seem to present a neutral impact, neoliberal political economies rely on concepts that reconstitute who we are as Indigenous Peoples without our input or consent.In wealthy settler nations such as Australia, Canada and the United States, the majority of Indigenous Peoples – as much as 71% - live in metropolitan areas.Homogenised cities impede capacity to co-create nurturing communities: urban and regional planning initiatives and notions of 'progress', demand a certain type of subjectivity.Indigenous Peoples are thus reframed and steered by patriarchal and capitalistic values. In this process, states too often abscond from their responsibilities to us as equal citizens, especially those most affected: Indigenous women and children, particularly in regard to affordable housing and homelessness from domestic violence, people with disabilities, young people and elderly.(RECOMMENDATION)A rights framework makes it known that Indigenous Peoples must be recognised for who we are, with all the inherent citizenship and treaty-underscored rights intact, in whatever location we live within our respective countries.Moderator, such rights may be understood by the state as tied to specific lands and territories, however, we remind the High Level Political Forum that our identities as Indigenous Peoples do not pause at the edge of a colonially contrived frontier.The Indigenous Peoples Major Group implores this esteemed forum to affirm that better urban planning and management is: localised and regenerative in fiscal, ecological and social accord.Thank you for your time.

Vor dem Hintergrund des Gutachtens "Welt im Wandel - Gesellschaftsvertrag für die Große Transformation" (Wissenschaftlicher Beirat der Bundesregierung Globale Umweltveränderungen 2011) stellen die Autorinnen und der Autor die Frage nach dem Beitrag der Raumentwicklung und -planung zur großen Transformation mit dem Ziel einer nachhaltigen Raumentwicklung. Sie identifizieren sowohl Forschungs- als auch Handlungsbedarfe, indem sie Modelle, Strategien und Instrumente räumlicher Planung kritisch auf ihre Transformationspotenziale hin prüfen. Sichtbar wird so ein eklatanter Kommunikations- und Kooperationsbedarf. Dieser besteht zwischen den räumlichen Ebenen sowie zwischen räumlicher Planung bzw. Raumentwicklung und Politik, aber auch zwischen dem gestaltenden Staat und der Bürgerschaft bzw. Zivilgesellschaft und der Wirtschaft. Die aktuellen sozial-ökologischen Krisensituationen und die damit verbundenen gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen zwingen in steigendem Maße dazu, neue Bewertungen im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Raumentwicklung vorzunehmen und einen Perspektivwechsel in Raum- und Planungswissenschaften sowie in der Planungspraxis einzuleiten. Das vorliegende Positionspapier basiert auf dem Forschungsbericht 15 der ARL (2021), in dem die Ergebnisse des Arbeitskreises "Nachhaltige Raumentwicklung für die große Transformation" dokumentiert sind.

Gerade im alpinen Raum ist, bedingt durch die topographischen und klimatischen Gegebenheiten, eine effiziente und nachhaltige Nutzung vorhandener Ressourcen im Sinne von Flächen- und Energieeffizienz sowie Infrastrukturauslastung eine wesentliche Herausforderung. Im Zentrum Alpines Bauen - Forschungsschwerpunkt Simulation von
Siedlungssystemen - werden mit Methoden der Geoinformatik neue Modelle und Planungswerkzeuge entwickelt, um Möglichkeiten der Siedlungsinnenentwicklung und
Nachverdichtung aufzuzeigen, sowie Simulationsmodelle, um das Flächenmanagement für Gemeinden zu konkretisieren und zu objektivieren. Dazu wurden mehrere Modelle entwickelt, die modular implementiert werden und so flexibel für die Bearbeitung unterschiedlicher Fragestellungen (z.B. Identifikation und Quantifizierung von Nachverdichtungspotenzialen, Fragestellungen zum Flächenmanagement) kombiniert werden.

Der Beitrag zu Beteiligungsverfahren betrachtet Konfliktpunkte zwischen Top-down- und
Bottom-up-Planungsprozessen und diskutiert Voraussetzungen für eine erfolgreiche
Integration der Zivilgesellschaft in Planungsverfahren. Am Beispiel der Neugestaltung
des Bananenkellers bzw. des Paradeplatzes in Fürstenwalde/Spree wird ein Beteiligungsverfahren
vorgestellt, das eine Kombination aus Bottom-up- und Top-down-Vorgehen ist. Anhand dieses Beispiels werden theoretische und praktische Voraussetzungen
für eine erfolgreiche Einbeziehung der Zivilgesellschaft in Planungsprozesse
mit der Zielrichtung "Planungen an den Bedürfnissen der 'Betroffenen' ausrichten" sowie
"lokales Wissen und Bedürfnisse anzapfen" diskutiert.

Speech: 21 pp.; digital file. ; This is a transcription of a speech given by Dr. Lloyd Axworthy to a seminar on regional government in 1976. It looks back candidly at some of the outcomes of Unicity, both from an administrative and democratic perspective. Axworthy pays particular attention to the original intent of the Resident Advisory Groups (RAGs) to be a more robust and decentralized form of political representation. The RAGs soon found themselves not adequately provided with necessary resources from either the City or Province, and became ineffective and largely irrelevant to the decision-making process. In looking at the political structure, this speech discusses how Unicity was seen as an attempt at creating a parliamentary system at the municipal level, and how the popular Winnipeg mayor Stephen Juba successfully fought for a directly-elected mayor. It also examines how Unicity created further dominance of suburban home-owner's interests in Winnipeg politics. In spite of Unicity being an act aimed at reform, Axworthy suggests there was a lack of reform in the general political attitudes on council. Financial benefits of the Unicity structure, including the amalgamated city's better position in the bond market, and more equitable taxation levels, are also highlighted.

The aim of this paper is to indicate how the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic may determine the key directions of urban spatial policy in Poland. Therefore, the following aspects have been analyzed: the guidelines arising from the medical point of view (in terms of health policy priorities) and the key theses of the international scientific discussion on changes in urban spatial policies. Based on the above analysis as well as on the indicated current possibilities of planning solutions in Poland, recommendations will be developed on the directional issues of urban spatial policy. The paper will determine to what extent individual postulates can be implemented in the Polish reality. Recommendations developed in this way will reflect a universal dimension - making it possible to refer to the majority of development and spatial documents of Polish cities (in particular development strategies and studies of spatial development conditions and directions). An important contribution of the paper will also be an attempt to take an interdisciplinary approach to the medical and urban planning perspective and translate it into concrete postulates.

This article applies the cognitive approach of Pierre Muller (1998), in some of the instruments of public action on the subject of territorial planning for the Costa Rican case in the period from 1995 to 2013, showing how the territorial planning arises. In the first time, in an environmental legislation initiative it was dimensioned in urban planning aspects linked to land use, somewhat limited. After that, various initiatives were generated up to what is presented today in a dimension of sustainable development, thus being a benchmark change. Some aspects that emerged from the analysis process were: referential of integral vision of territorial planning with environmental criteria (Organic Law of the Environment (LOA) of 1995); referential of the Common Vision and Regional Development at the Central American level (ACOT, 2010); referential of vision of planning of regional scale at national level that serves as a framing of the regulatory plans of the municipalities of the GAM (GAM Plan 2013); referential spatial vision of social, environmental and economic policies in the territory in three strategic areas: Habitat Quality; Environmental Protection and Management and Territorial Competitiveness (PNOT, 2012–2040); Referential vision of sustainability of the operational management of the strategic areas of the PNOT: Habitat Quality, Environmental Protection and Management and Territorial Competitiveness (PLANOT, 2012–2040). ; En el presente documento se aplica el enfoque cognitivo de Pierre Muller (1998), en algunos de los instrumentos de acción pública sobre el tema de ordenamiento territorial para el caso costarricense en el periodo de 1995 al 2013, mostrando que el tema de ordenamiento territorial surge por primera vez en una iniciativa de legislación ambiental, anterior a ello se dimensionaba en aspectos de planificación urbana ligados al uso del suelo, siendo de esta manera algo limitado. Después de ahí, se generaron diversas iniciativas hasta lo que hoy se presenta en una dimensión de desarrollo ...

This research is about Optimalization of District Role in Village Financial Management. The purpose of this study is to optimize the role of sub-districts in village financial management. This study uses normative legal research methods (legal research), ie. studies that refer to the principles, norms contained in laws and regulations, ranging from Laws, Government Regulations, Ministerial Regulations, Regional Regulations/Qanun, Governor Regulations and Regents Regulations relating to the duties of sub-districts in the guidance and supervision village finance. The approach used in this study is the state approach, and the concept approach, by examining the research material consisting of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. The research material is analyzed by qualitative approach, with the aim to understand the meaning of the legal material that has been collected, which then interpreted normatively, logically and systematically by using inductive method. The results of this study indicate that the function of guidance and supervision that has been carried by the sub-district does not clearly reveal the intent and how the business process runs. The definition of village financial management is evident in 5 aspects: planning, implementation, administration, reporting, and accountability need to be clarified by stating the extent of the role of the kecamatan in each stage. In the planning aspect, the sub-districts need to be involved intensively when the village government processes the village development planning. This is aimed at ensuring that the development planning prepared by the village government is in line with regional development planning. District / city governments need to facilitate kecamatan to increase their role in supervising village financial management. One thing that can be done is to facilitate kecamatan devices to obtain education, training, in the framework of competence development. Provincial governments can play a role in financing aspects to strengthen the capacity of ...

It is impossible to talk about developing renewable energy resources in the United States without also talking about developing electric transmission infrastructure. More specifically, the transmission-planning strategies that may have worked in the past are no longer effective to integrate new sources of renewable energy into the transmission grid. Transmission lines were historically built to link large stationary power plants to nearby electricity demand centers like cities. For renewable energy, however, state mandates and policies are driving investment in wind-and to a lesser extent solar-energy, creating a need for new transmission lines to link these dispersed resources with electric load centers. Against this backdrop, there is now a complex mix of federal, state, and regional laws, policies, and politics governing both renewable energy goals and transmission planning and siting. These developments have rendered the traditional approach to transmission planning and siting ineffective-and, in some cases, obsolete. Although members of Congress have introduced bills to create federal renewable energy standards and to create more federal authority over transmission planning to support the growth of renewable energy, most of the action remains at the state level. While there has been significant scholarship on renewable energy siting and development in the United States, there has been less emphasis to date on the transmission challenges associated with the growth of renewable energy. This focus is critical, however, because the success of wind and solar development depends on whether it can get to market cost-effectively, and much of that depends on transmission. In this Article, we consider federal, state, and regional policies governing transmission planning and siting and highlight the challenges and opportunities for further growth. We focus on wind rather than solar or geothermal resources because wind-based electric power generation has grown significantly in recent years.
