Evaluation in Planning
Author: E.R. Alexander
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317138732
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Evaluation is a critical stage in urban and regional planning and development, with the consideration of alternative proposals 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, and its best practices and their potential for improving future planning and development. The chapters trace evaluation in planning from its historical origin to current applications. Part one reviews the evolution of evaluation theory and practice, and part two contains a selection of best-practice application. The final integrating chapter notes key problems, and offers directions for future development in evaluation research and practice.

Book Description
Ce livre historique peut contenir de nombreuses coquilles et du texte manquant. Les acheteurs peuvent generalement telecharger une copie gratuite scannee du livre original (sans les coquilles) aupres de l'editeur. Non reference. Non illustre. 1866 edition. Extrait: ...compagnie que les West-India dodu. produits; mais le moyen de tenir son attention eveillee au milieu d'un va-et-vient perpetuel de petites brouettes chargees de marchandises, qui courent avec des roues de fer entre les jambes des passans?--Ici tout travaille, tout a une forme vivante. Des grues scellees par la base dans la pierre agitent leur long cou et tendent du bout de leur bec des sacs remplis de biscuits aux navires en train d'appareiller. De temps en temps il faut passer d'un cote des bassins a l'autre, sur le rebord des portes qui servent a retenir les eaux: ce sont a la fois des ponts tournans et des ecluses. On s'enfonce ainsi dans de nouveaux quartiers, dans des rues s'ouvrant derriere des rues, ou des hommes gravement assis devant des tables dressees en plein air enregistrent les marchandises sur un livre de comptes. Cependant une heure vient de sonner a l'horloge des docks: les travaux manuels sont suspendus, des groupes d'ouvriers en veste de toile blanche et en pantalon de velours de coton a cotes s'acheminent vers la grande porte de sortie pour chercher leur diner. Nous profiterons de leur absence et de la solitude relative des quais pour examiner les vaisseaux. Les bassins artificiels des East-India docks, ayant ete destines a recevoir de tres grands navires, n'ont jamais moins de vingt-trois pieds d'eau, dans laquelle sommeillent des batimens de toutes les formes et de tous les pays. Les Anglais admirent fort ces machines flottantes, sorties en grande partie de leurs chantiers, et pour peu qu'on vive parmi eux, on se laisse aisement gagner a...

Author: Eugenie Ladner Birch
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 9780415319973
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
The Urban and Regional Planning Reader draws together the very best of classic and contemporary writings to illuminate the planning of cities and metropolitan areas. Forty-seven generous selections include contributions from Lewis Mumford, Jane Jacobs, Ian McHarg, Paul Davidoff, Charles Harr, Susan Fainstein and Charles J. Hoch through to Timothy Beatley; Jonathan Barnett, Alex Garvin, Tom Daniels, Andres Duany and Barbara Faga. The variety and wide selection of readings offers one of the most innovative amalgamations of planning research and practice. The Reader lays out the context, range of concerns, history, methods and key topics for twenty-first century urban and regional planning. Sections on the world of planning, history and theory, classic readings, practice and current issues include writings with a focus on the distribution of space and place, essays on housing, transportation design, environment, community development, the effects of cultural diversity and information technology on land use and other topics. It displays the techniques used to direct and control growth, including zoning, master planning, public budgeting and citizen participation. It explores different types of plans distinguished by their scale and reference type. It references analytical and presentation techniques and outlines ethical issues confronting planners. This Urban and Regional Planning Reader provides an essential resource, for students of planning, drawing together important but widely dispersed writings and the associated bibliography is a resource which enables deeper investigations. The synthesis is also valuable for lecturers and researches in the area and the pertinent editorial commentaries preceding each entry not only demonstrate its significance, but also outline the issue surrounding the topic.
