Description

The future of planning: A fresh analysis of urban development models and their role in creating sustainable communities. For over half a century, the planning system has been based on a growth-dependence paradigm. However, this approach is no longer tenable in today's world, where concerns about well-being and sustainability are increasingly prominent. This book offers a timely critique of the existing system and explores alternative urban development models that prioritize community benefits and environmental sustainability. It considers ways to protect and enhance low-value land uses, manage community assets within the built environment, and reformed planning systems that can establish a new agenda for planning. With its focus on creating more sustainable communities, this book is relevant to planning students, professionals, and academics, as well as urban policy specialists.
