(1) A focus on cross / inter disciplinary themes, addressing the future of urban planning and real estate development against the backcloth of the environmental emergency and the present forefront of a post-pandemic world. (2) Linking, analysing, projecting the future for development and the environment (3) Providing a comprehensive explanation of Strategic Foresight as a methodology for ‘futures thinking’ which is then applied as a thread linking the Themes and Discourses about the text. (4) The book is composed to address an international readership. (5) Catering for the growing internationalisation of the built environment professions

This fourth edition of Urban Planning and Real Estate Development guides readers through the procedural and practical aspects of developing land from the point of view of both planner and developer. The twin processes of planning and property development are inextricably linked - it is not possible to carry out a development strategy without an understanding of the planning process, and, equally, planners need to know how real estate developers do their job. The planning system is explained, from the increasing emphasis on spatial planning at a national, local, and neighbourhood level down to the detailed perspective of the development management process and the specialist requirements of historic buildings and conservation areas. At the same time, the authors explain the entire development process from inception, through appraisal, valuation, and financing, to completion. Sustainability and corporate social responsibility and their impact on planning and development are covered in detail, and the future consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are explored in new opening and closing chapters setting the text in a global context. Written by a team of authors with many years of academic, professional, and research experience, and illustrated throughout with practical case studies and follow-up resources, this book is an invaluable textbook for real estate and planning students and helps to meet the requirements of the RICS and RTPI Assessment of Professional Competence.

This heavily class-tested book is an exposition of the theoretical foundations of hyperbolic manifolds. It is a both a textbook and a reference. A basic knowledge of algebra and topology at the first year graduate level of an American university is assumed. The first part is concerned with hyperbolic geometry and discrete groups. The second part is devoted to the theory of hyperbolic manifolds. The third part integrates the first two parts in a development of the theory of hyperbolic orbifolds. Each chapter contains exercises and a section of historical remarks. A solutions manual is available separately.

Designed to enhance a traditional calculus curriculum, this text offers guidance in utilizing Mathematica to explore calculus concepts. Focusing on the process of mathematics rather than on finding single right answers, this book involves students in actively observing and analyzing mathematical principles using Mathematica to handle the manipulative work. With this text, students should learn to utilize Mathematica - particularly its numerical, symbolic, and graphing capabilities - to discover for themselves why mathematical principles work as they do, building stronger conceptual understanding in the process. The topics addressed involve sophisticated mathematics but also produce pictorial results, engaging students in the ideas and increasing their ability to view them geometrically. The activities should also develop students' sophistication in choosing and employing technology effectively.
