In recent decades, the intensification of unpredictable events
including the Covid-19 outbreak, Brexit, trade warfare,
religion-inspired terrorism and civil wars, and climate change has
resulted in serious loss of human lives and property, a decrease in
biodiversity and natural hazards (with long-term negative impacts
on environment), and impeded social and economic development.
Economics and Engineering of Unpredictable Events: Modelling,
Planning and Policies provides an integrated view of the management
of unpredictable events incorporating three major perspectives:
economic management, environmental planning and engineering models.
Contributors from economics, planning, regional science, and
engineering address key questions including; How resilient are
human societies and their habitats? What should societies do to
shift from being vulnerable to being more resilient? And what role
should planning and policies play to protect communities and the
natural environment? The chapters cover academic debates,
conceptual reflections, case studies, methods, and strategy
development with particular reference to mitigation and adaptation
in face of unpredictable events. This book is of particular
interest to readers of economic policy, urban and regional planning
and engineering.

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the second
workshop on Evaluation and Planning held at Centre International de
Hautes Etudes Agronomiques Mediterraneennes (CIHEAM) in Valenzano
(Bari) in November 1993. The workshop was financially and otherwise
supported by the School of Engineering, Bari Polytechnic; the
School of Agriculture, University of Bari; and CIHEAM. The
publication of this book was made possible by to the efforts of the
contributing authors. Several other persons have provided
invaluable support for the workshop or the preparation of this
volume. One of these is Patsy Healey for her fascinating challenge
to Andreas Faludi's most recent arguments about rational planning
theory. Another is John Friedmann whose lecture at the workshop
presented world future scenarios depicting interaction between
economic growth, social justice and ecological balance. Angela
Barbanente provided marvelous support in organizing the workshop
and editorial advice in the preparation of this volume. Jeremy
Franks carefully improved the English and the clarity of all the
papers. Carmelo Torre made a final editing of texts and images. We
owe thanks to Maurizio Raeli for providing all the support services
during the workshop and Claudia Baublys for her excellent help with
various administrative issues with regard to the workshop and
publication of this book. This book is dedicated to the memory of
Professor Giovanni Grittani, Professor of Land Economics,
University of Bari.
This book is the result of a three day workshop on "Evaluation in
theory and practice in spatial planning" held in Ramsey Hall,
University College London, in September 1996. Some 30 people from 8
different countries attended and 20 papers were presented. The
majority of them now form the basis for this book. This occasion
was the third on the topic, the two preceding having taken place in
Umea in June 1992 and in Bari in 1994. Following these three
meetings, we can now say that this small, industrious,
international family really enjoy meeting up from time to time at
each others places, in the presence of older members and new
children, each one presenting his/her own recent experiences. It
particularly enjoys exchanging views and arguing about the current
state and the future of evaluation in spatial planning (all
families have their vices ... ). It is also pleasing to see these
experiences and discussions resulting in a book for those who could
not attend and for the broader clan in the field. Not long time
ago, but ages in the accelerated academic time scale, evaluation in
planning established its own role and distinct features as an
instrument for helping the decision-making process. Now this role
and these features are exposed to major challenges. First, the
evolution of planning theory has lead to the conception of new
planning paradigms, based on theories of complexity and
communicative rationality.
