Mijn grootvader regeerde lang over de stadsplanning van Amsterdam, om precies te zijn van 1928 toen hij directeur werd van de net opgerichte afdeling Stadsontwikkeling tot aan zijn pensionering in 1952. Het waren opwindende jaren, vooral natuurlijk de tijd waarin het nu fameuze Algemeen Uitbreidingsplan (1935) tot stand kwam, dat voorzag in de bouw van zogenaamde tuinsteden, zoals Bos en Lommer, Geuzeveld en Osdorp. Deze ontwikkeling paste in een bredere ontwikkeling van stadsplanning, die een antwoord wilde geven op wat toen 'de sociale kwestie' werd genoemd. Nu zeventig jaar later worden de

Doing ethnographies is een handleiding voor kwalitatief onderzoek. 'Etnografie' is een modieuze term geworden die nu in de meest verscheiden disciplines gebruikt wordt. Het woord moet de lezer erop attenderen dat de voorliggende studie niet zomaar een conventioneel droog wetenschappelijk betoog is, maar oog heeft voor sociale en culturele context en historische contingentie of het onderwerp nu medische technologie, stadsplanning of landbouw is. Het past helemaal bij die populariteit van het concept dat deze handleiding geschreven is door twee sociaal geografen.

Developing countries are rapidly urbanizing and most of the world's population will soon be living in cities, making it crucial to examine how cities can be developed on a sustainable basis. Japan is one of the most urbanized countries in the world and offers lessons for sustainable urban planning. This book draws together experts from engineering, humanities, social sciences and mental health to introduce Japanese experiences and compare them with international research.--Publisher's description.
This volume brings together a team of leading specialists to examine the policies of image and city marketing which have developed over the past 15 years and whether these are a continuity of earlier strategies.
The decline in sun-belt cities of America has followed on from the decline of those in the rust-belt. Hollander addresses the reasons and statistics behind these shrinking cities with a positive outlook, arguing that growth for growth's sake is not beneficial for communities, suggesting instead that urban development could be achieved through shrinkage. Case studies include Phoenix, Fresno and Flint.
Produces original insights into the nature of the contemporary urban, and uses these insights as a basis for the design of the contemporary city. This book presents projects in full-colour, showing how some of the ideas and concerns about space, time, hybridity and form translate into real work in the Spacelab design studio.
Arguably the most influential document in the history of urban planning, Daniel Burnham's 1909 Plan of Chicago, coauthored by Edward Bennett and produced in collaboration with the Commercial Club of Chicago, proposed many of the city's most distinctive features, including its lakefront parks and roadways, the Magnificent Mile, and Navy Pier. Carl Smith's fascinating history reveals the Plan's central role in shaping the ways people envision the cityscape and urban life itself. Smith's concise and accessible narrative begins with a survey of Chicago's stunning rise from a tiny frontier settlement to the nation's second-largest city. He then offers an illuminating exploration of the Plan's creation and reveals how it embodies the renowned architect's belief that cities can and must be remade for the better. The Plan defined the City Beautiful movement and was the first comprehensive attempt to reimagine a major American city. Smith points out the ways the Plan continues to influence debates, even a century after its publication, about how to create a vibrant and habitableurban environment. Richly illustrated and incisively written, his insightful book will be indispensable to our understanding of Chicago, Daniel Burnham, and the emergence of the modern city.
The idea of transferring development opportunities between areas is more than only the transfer of development rights. It relates more to compensation: not in money, but in a non-financial perspective. This book addresses the topic of transferring development opportunities between areas in planning practice.
Evaluation is a critical stage in urban and regional planning and development. The full impacts of well-intentioned initiatives are rarely anticipated, and evaluation of alternative proposals is essential for informed debate and decision. Evaluation in planning has become even more important with the new paradigm attempting to integrate economic efficiency with equity, sustainability and social responsibility. The craft of pre-development evaluation has long been influenced by Nathaniel Lichfield, and in his honour, this book brings together prominent researchers and practitioners to discuss evaluation in planning: its conceptual foundations and subsequent development, its strengths and persisting dilemmas, its best practices and their potential for improving future planning and development. These chapters trace evaluation in planning from its historical origin to current applications. Part One - History and Theory - reviews the evolution of evaluation theory and practice, discusses some critical concepts behind plan- and project-evaluation including utilitarianism, rationality, and the public interest, and concludes with critical assessments of some evaluation methods: benefit-cost analysis, and performance-based plan evaluation. Part Two contains a selection of best-practice application: multi-criteria decision support methods for evaluating cultural assets and regional development policies, feasibility testing for sustainability planning, impact evaluation for large-scale transportation projects, and dynamic planning for community impact assessment. The final integrating chapter notes some current problems, and offers directions for future development in evaluation research and practice.
