First published in 1984, this book addresses key questions about
the pattern of urban development in Southern Europe and the
mechanisms employed to control and regulate this development in
individual countries. It examines five countries - Greece, Italy,
Portugal, Spain and Turkey - that have experienced different scales
and rates of urbanization and industrialization. It identifies
common problems arising from these processes, as well as the
successes and failures of the planning policies employed to
regulate development. This book will be of great value to
geographers interested in Southern Europe and urban and regional
planners interested in comparative patterns of development.
First published in 1984, this book presents a survey of housing
problems in various European countries and how individual states
have responded. Each chapter begins by surveying the problem in
each country since the Second World War, before going on to outline
the roles fulfilled by national housing agencies and local
authorities, as well as assessing the impact of housing policies on
society and on the physical shape of cities. It considers whether
housing policies have succeeded or failed and how the 'housing
problem' has changed over time. Each chapter draws out lessons that
can be learned for the future from each country's past handling of
the problem. This book will be a useful reference for those
interested in housing, including planners, geographers, economists,
sociologists or policy-makers.
First published in 1985, this book presents seven games for use in
the teaching and study of planning, urban studies or land
administration. These simulations are all built on researched case
studies and deal with a number of critical planning and
developmental issues; for each one the book provides full
operational instructions and all gaming materials required. The
games in this volume cover a number of scenarios, including the
design of a mixed retail, social and service centre in a new city,
new development in a run-down inner city area, rehabilitation or
renewal of housing, tourist development in the Mediterranean and a
new cross-town motorway in a major north American city. In
addition, sets of guidelines for those wishing to design and
operate their own case study simulations are also included. This
book will be a valuable resource for students of town planning or
urban development who are keen to gain 'hands-on' experience of
using the professional skills they have acquired on their courses.

In 2015, the United Nations launched the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) to define and coordinate global priorities and
aspirations up to 2030 in response to the economic, social and
environmental challenges faced by the planet. Many governments
across the world signed up to these goals. United Nations
Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon noted at the outset that business
would be a vital partner in achieving the SDGs. This easy-to-digest
book provides a critical evaluation of how a range of multinational
companies from across different commercial sectors are currently
addressing the SDGs and the challenges they are facing in
contributing to them. The private sector has thus been set the
challenge of responding positively in support of the SDGs whilst at
the same time acting in the shorter-term interests of its
stakeholders. Using a wealth of illustrative materials drawn from
company reports and other sources, this book looks at the response
of 80 companies and organisations from eight different industry
sectors. It examines the different approaches taken, discusses how
far the SDGs are actively supported and reviews how progress is
being assessed against related targets and objectives. In addition
to an analysis of each industry sector, the book provides a summary
overview of all industry sectors studied, identifying the most and
least supported SDGs overall. This book will be of interest to the
fast-growing body of academics studying and researching
sustainability, as well as to industry managers and public-sector
operators involved in sustainability management and reporting. It
provides detailed commentary and insights, and identifies both key
themes from the research and critical issues for the successful
implementation of the SDGs in the period up to 2030.

Since the turn of the century, technology transfer and innovation
has played an increasingly important role in government policy for
reinvigorating and supporting a country's industry. This has been
fueled by technology transfer from third parties such as
universities, but due to the rapid evolution of the external
environment of technology, companies require regular upgrades to
information systems and technical infrastructure and adjustments.
University-Industry Technology Transfer in the UK: Emerging
Research and Opportunities provides innovative insights into how
technology transfer has operated in university-company projects
undertaken in small- to medium-sized enterprises. Highlighting 19
different cases drawn from companies in the regions adjoining the
University of Gloucestershire, UK, from a qualitative case study
approach, the content within this publication analyzes contract
packers, the manufacturing industry, and research organizations. It
is a vital reference source for managers, business owners,
education administrators, researchers, academicians, professionals,
policymakers, and graduate-level students seeking coverage on
topics centered on case examples of technology transfer projects in
different industry sectors.
