Planning in Cities" is an innovative study which bridges theory and
practice to explore the conflicting challenges of the increasingly
rapid scale and speed of city growth and providing effective urban
planning policies and management strategies.Part One explores the
changing paradigms of development and environmentalism and how
these have impacted on the process of urbanization and the emerging
debates on the sustainability cities. These chapters review and
elaborate the discourse on sustainability, setting it firmly within
the context of urbanization and development. The increasing
disjuncture between these concepts and the challenge this presents
to the planning of cities in the developing world is
highlighted.Part Two shifts from discourse to practice. Case
studies drawn from different countries and different urban policy
sectors investigate the design and implementation of planning
policies and ways of improving urban governance to support
sustainable urban growth. They assess the challenges and
limitations to capacity building in the urban sector. Lessons
learned from different practical approaches are demonstrated and
critiqued.
