Book SynopsisThis is an invaluable volume for all those engaged in megaproject work. It is presented by two leading academics in the field of transport infrastructure who have managed to pull together a very interesting set of contributions prepared by numerous highly qualified academics from across the globe specializing in the planning, appraisal and evaluation of megaprojects. The art and science of decision-making and assessing the impacts of such projects are thoroughly discussed with a view to offering future decision-makers a better steer on the development of such projects. Likely to be of immense importance to practicing professionals, bureaucrats and academics alike concerned with megaproject development, this book examines with great skill and clarity key issues associated with strategic decision-making, public-private partnership arrangements and the application of cost benefit analysis to megaprojects. Spurred-on by globalization and increasing in their number, size and complexity, the challenges that megaprojects pose are likely to grow paradoxically both in times of economic growth and austerity. Given these circumstances, the publication of this book is very timely, much needed and highly recommended.'- Harry T. Dimitriou, University College London, UKThis comprehensive and accessible Handbook presents state-of-the-art research on the decision-making processes in the deliverance of mega-projects - large infrastructure projects for the transportation of people and/or goods.The expert contributors explore how decisions are made at different stages in mega-projects and the multi-actor relationships between public and private partners. They evaluate the perspectives and pitfalls in determining the costs and benefits of a mega-project ex ante, and examine the wider impacts of mega-projects, including issues such as regional growth, energy transition and climate change. Although the focus is on the advanced economies of North America, Europe, and Australia, much of the material is useful for other parts of the world where large transport infrastructure projects are currently underway or will be developed in the coming years.Providing crucial background information for those who want to understand decision-making processes on large transport infrastructure projects, this fascinating Handbook will prove an important source of information for academics, researchers and students in the fields of transport, infrastructure, project management, management science, economic analysis (cost benefit analysis), public policy, environmental policy and ethics. Practitioners, politicians and policymakers involved in large transport infrastructure projects will also find this book to be an invaluable reference tool.Contributors: J.A. Annema, M.

Book SynopsisThe notion of proximity is increasing in popularity in economic and geographic literature, and is now commonly used by scholars in regional science and spatial economics. Few academic works, however, have explored the link between regional development and proximity relations. This comprehensive book redresses the balance with its assessment of the role of, and obstacles caused by, proximity relations in regional development processes.The expert contributors illustrate that the value of integrating proximity into the regional development analysis framework is due its plasticity and ability to draw connections between spatial, economic and social dimensions. Possible changes for regional and territorial policies are also an outcome of this integration. These areas are addressed via four main paradigms: Proximity and regional development Spatial innovation processes Networks and proximity relations Place-based strategies and proximity relations. Students, academics, researchers and regional development practitioners with an interest in regional proximity will find this highly original book to be an illuminating read.Contributors: A.

Book SynopsisIn this important book, Kathy Pain and Gilles Van Hamme bring together a prestigious group of contributors to provide a systematic assessment of the dynamic, multi-scale network restructuring and spaces of flows associated with globalization that have shaped Europe's contemporary position in the world during the past decade.The book examines the changing relations of cities and regions in Europe in a global perspective both through its position in the international division of labour and in different types of networks and flows: trade of goods; advanced services and finance - stock exchange and office real estate investments; human; knowledge; and maritime - and considers how European territories are being unequally impacted by these trends. A distinctive feature of the research results presented is their specific empirical focus on the functional and economic relations of cities and regions in globalization and how these relate to territorial structures in a spatial context.Providing in-depth reflection on territorial policies in Europe in a global context and pointing to a basic contradiction between EU economic and spatial strategies to promote sustainable growth alongside socio-territorial equity, this volume will appeal to scholars, students and researchers with interests in urban and regional planning, spatial and economic development and globalization. It also has strong relevance for government policy makers at the state, regional and local levels, as well as professional practitioners in a wide variety of disciplines.Contributors: B. Derudder, C.

Book SynopsisThis book provides theories, experiences, reflections and future directions for social scientists who wish to engage with policy-oriented research in, and for, cities and regions. The '?policy learning?' perspective is comprehensively discussed, focusing on actors promoting '?policy knowledge?' and interaction among different stakeholders. Theoretical frameworks and practical experiences of policy-orientated research for European regions and cities are comprehensively explored in this timely book. The authors review current theories and present novel case studies of policy-orientated research. By combining policy analysis with urban and regional studies, the book highlights how researchers can be agents of policy learning, helping policymakers to learn how to learn. This book will provide unique, real world insights for researchers, practitioners and stakeholders interested in research-based approaches to cities and regions.Contributors include: I. Bakker, S.

Book SynopsisThis Handbook is a state-of-the-art analysis of proximity relations, offering insights into its history alongside up-to-date scientific advances and emerging questions. Its broad scope – from industrial and innovation approaches through to society issues of living and working at a distance, territorial development and environmental topics – will ensure an in-depth focus point for researchers in economics as well as geography, organizational studies, planning and sociology. Split into four distinctly thematic parts, the Handbook explores the precise definition of proximity relationships and their diversity, including the role they play in social and economic interactions as well as examining the origins and evolution of such relationships. It further presents a detailed overview of the main methods of analysis, highlighting the link between proximity relationships and exchange of information while explaining how exchanges at a distance rely on links of organized proximity, something that plays an increasing role in our societies.This engaging Handbook will provide an excellent update for scientists and researchers on the recent developments in the analysis of proximity relations as well as students looking for precise and detailed information on the main characteristics of proximity relations, regional and spatial analysis, and the major analytical tools.Trade Review‘Finally, we have the first Handbook of Proximity Relations, edited by André Torre, one of the pioneers of the French School of Proximity, and Delphine Gallaud. It covers topics such as the theoretical development of the concept, methods and analytical tools, and emerging issues and future challenges. This authoritative and comprehensive Handbook is a must-read for researchers in regional science, regional studies and innovation who want to be informed about one of the key concepts in modern social science.’ -- Bjørn T.

Book SynopsisIn this ground-breaking book Aharon Kellerman explores a rapidly developing aspect of contemporary life: automated and autonomous spatial mobilities and their social and urban implications. Distinguishing between automation, or self-doing, and autonomy, or self-government, at both the conceptual and practical levels, this book also draws a distinction between spatial mobility and automated spatial mobility. Automation processes for transportation and communications media and their controls are discussed in light of these differences.Presenting a wide-ranging discussion on autonomous vehicle (AV) development and its future adoption, as well as of social and spatial dimensions of the AV-age, this highly topical book points to the emergence of autonomously mobile cities and the new mobility landscapes they will present. Academics, as well as practitioners, in the fields of mobility, transportation, urban planning, geography and sociology will find this an essential read.Trade Review'This is the most comprehensive and thorough study of the relation between automation and mobility. By bringing together the development of automation in both physical and virtual mobilities, Kellerman is not only able to offer a new history of the emergence of automated vehicles in relation to information technology, communications, and artificial intelligence, but also provides well grounded predictions for the future of automation and its social impacts in many forms of mobility. This book will be a crucial resource for mobilities scholars.' --Mimi Sheller, Drexel University, US'This is a very welcome book that treats the issue of automated and autonomous mobility in the mind-set of the book series in which it appears. It deals with transport, mobilities, and spatial change, with a strong historical, transport geography, technical, economic and social component. Kellerman has the gift of disentangling complex topics into very comprehensible, structured, and well-written research issues, whereby attention is paid to definitions, conceptualizations, social meanings, and interpretation. An excellent contribution!' --Frank Witlox, Ghent University, Belgium'No matter how we swing it, automated driving terminates the modern love affair with auto-mobility as we know it. Again, Aharon Kellerman is at the forefront of analyzing contemporary mobilities. He makes us understand the deep and silent metamorphosis of the modern system of (auto)mobility. A must-read for mobilities scholars, cultural geographers as well as practitioners, planners and engineers.' --Sven Kesselring, Nurtingen-Geislingen University, GermanyTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisDeepening the scientific debate on planning and complexity, this Handbook combines theoretical discussion about planning and governance with modelling complex behaviour in space and place. Linking planning and complexity as a way of understanding dynamic change and non-linear development within cities, it presents critical new insights on complex urban behaviour. Building on the notion that cities have fractal-like structures, chapters look at their behaviour as complex adaptive systems, with co-evolving trajectories and transformative forces. The Handbook offers new perspectives, concepts, methods and tools for understanding the inter-relations between complexity and planning, including: adaptive planning, non-linear types of rationality, governance and decision-making, and different methods of experimental learning. Planning, complexity, urban studies and social geography scholars will appreciate the examples of complex urban behaviour and urban planning throughout the Handbook. This will also be an important read for modellers in urban development, urban policy makers and spatial planners. Contributors include: E.R. Alexander, Y. Asami, M. Batty, R. Beunen, B.

Van Assche, A. van Nes, S. Verweij, T. Von Wirth, M. Zellner,Trade Review'The editors have brought together leading and upcoming experts in complexity and planning to create this 'state of the art' volume. It is wide ranging, thought provoking and comprehensive, covering the latest theoretical debates in complexity and planning, international and national applications, and even localised planning issues. It is a 'must read' for anyone working in planning and complexity and will undoubtedly be a benchmark for the next wave of works on complexity and planning and policy-making in general.' --Robert Geyer, Lancaster University, UK'This excellent collection of chapters makes a direct contribution to understanding how planning interventions can interact with and rise above the self-organising forces of complexity and uncertainty. The threads of governance, rationality, modelling, communication, contextualisation and adaptability are interwoven across different chapters. By breaking down the divide between technical and political approaches, between theory and methods, the book is charged with positive energy and inspirational ideas to pursue more discursive and non-linear thinking in spatial planning.' --Cecilia Wong, University of Manchester, UK'This volume critically engages complexity thinking to identify possibilities for the reinvention of spatial planning as a meshwork of complementary mutual interrelations, purposeful interventions and subjective interactions. The book is an important source for scholars interested in pushing forward the frontiers of theoretical reasoning and practical modelling in the dynamic, non-linear world in which we live.' --Jean Hillier, RMIT University, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisIn this easy-to-follow, one-stop reference, Dinc discusses a new and dynamic endogenous regional development approach that delves deeply into a variety of topics: the globalization process and its impact on local and regional economies; theoretical evolution of economic development; the role of governance; and institutions and local leadership in the development process.The book reviews major traditional local and regional development theories from their origins and early applications as well as regional agglomerations and industrial clusters. It also introduces conflict management procedures into the regional development process and provides a regional decision support framework that can be used for informed development policymaking. Another advantage of this book is its discussion of basic analytical tools and the inclusion of a template in an easy-to-use MS Excel spreadsheet application. Though the book follows a logical narrative, each chapter can be read individually without a loss of meaning, making it perfect for classrooms.Introduction to Regional Economic Development will prove to be an invaluable resource for teachers and students of regional science, regional development, and planning, as well as regional and local development practitioners, regional development agency staff, and local government officials.Trade ReviewIntroduction to Regional Economic Development is one of the first examinations of the field that not only introduces advanced undergraduate and masters students to the field but also serves as a useful guide to planners and practitioners responsible for building and implementing strategy in developing and emerging national and regional economies. The author's many years of experience in development planning and implementation in Central Asia, Middle East, South and East Asia provide a theoretical and methodologically-balanced treatment of the tools and concepts that dominate the field. Through the lens of globalization as a driver of change Dr. Dinc provides a new and fresh treatment of the material that defines regional economic development planning and practice.' --Roger Stough, George Mason University, US'This book by Dr. Mustafa Dinc of The World Bank is powerful, insightful and one of the most valuable presentations of practical steps in doing regional economic development. It links theory and practice in an operation step by step process that helps the practitioner do and not just think about regional development. He does not ignore theory or long-term strategies but focuses on the practical and functional steps which help a practitioner carry out the regional development process for his or her region. He also identifies steps for benchmarking regions and for monitoring progress. The practitioner and new professional will find it a key reference and standard for guiding the analytic process of regional development and the seasoned manager will also see the excellent value of this development tool. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to recommend such a penetrating, useful and outstanding contribution to the literature in this field.' --Kingsley Haynes, George Mason University, USTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisThis book explores the ways in which the EU features overlapping spheres of authority. Using territorial ideas prevalent in the Medieval Period, Andreas Faludi offers ways to rethink the current debates surrounding territorialism in the EU.Challenging contemporary European spatial planning, this book explores how modern planning puts the democratic control of state territories and their development in question. The notion of democracy in an increasingly interconnected world is a key issue, and as such Faludi advocates a Europe where national borders are questioned, and ultimately transgressed.Progressive and timely, this book is an invaluable read for academic and practicing planners concerned with European planning and co-operation. Critical social and political geographers will also benefit from the revolutionary insights Faludi offers.Trade Review'Andreas Faludi's book is original and inspiring. In his enquiry about ''territorialism'', he develops a concrete pedagogy of the irrelevance of national borders. Andreas, a leading expert in the field of spatial planning, modestly claims to stick to planning as his legitimate field, but has sufficient knowledge to think out of the box, and look at the big picture. Andreas is one of those rare people with the sufficient vision and systemic approach required to plan an interdependent world.' --Jean Peyrony, Mission opérationnelle transfrontalière, France'In his latest book, Andreas Faludi engagingly interweaves an academic discussion on territorialism and its challenges for spatial planning with his personal reflections on the history and possible future of the EU integration project.' --Stefanie Dühr, University of South Australia'In The Poverty of Territorialism Andreas Faludi challenges key concepts that the spatial planning community has come to love. Faludi's thoughts offer highly valuable inspiration to all those dealing with the future of regions, the nation state or even the European Union.

Book SynopsisArguing that traditional approaches to planning are insufficient to address the complexities of transforming cities and regions in contemporary society, this innovative book makes the case for training planners in new and creative ways as coordinators, enablers and facilitators.An international range of teaching case studies offer a wide and distinctive set of ideas for the future of planning education along with practical tips to assist in adapting pedagogical approaches to various institutional settings. Additionally, the book promotes a stimulating interdisciplinary dialogue with contributions by leading educational specialists that situate the new and emergent approaches in planning education within the context of urban and regional challenges and the broader framework of contemporary pedagogical debates.This original book will be a valuable resource for academic scholars in urban, regional and spatial planning, and all those concerned with the future of higher education in relevant subjects. Chapters provide food for thought on making responsible choices while training planning professionals to act in a socially responsible manner and to support communities to think, design and deliver change in qualified ways.Trade Review‘This is a well-written international engagement with pedagogical innovation and change in planning education. I agree with the authors that right now, spatial planning is crucial to planetary survival but that there are profound challenges to overcome. The book provides a range of case studies that will provide the planning educator, or any other reader, an opportunity to examine how context interfaces with pedagogical approaches, and ultimately to learn from them.’ -- -- Nancy Odendaal, University of Cape Town, South AfricaTable of ContentsContents: Foreword xv Daniel Galland 1 Introduction: transformational change in planning education pedagogy? 1 Andrea I.

Book SynopsisIn Arctic and northern communities, livelihoods and land use depend heavily on natural resources. Decision-making processes around the use of natural resources are often contested and given their importance to these communities the participation of local stakeholders is vital. This timely book presents practices that have been developed with key stakeholders to improve the collection and utilization of locally relevant knowledge in land use planning. Chapters illustrate how indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) can be made spatially explicit by using, for example, participatory GIS. Focusing on countries including Greenland, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Ireland, Finland, Norway and Sweden, this book pays particular attention to the recognized challenges of these regions, including the relationships between local and national actors and indigenous and other local populations.Sharing Knowledge for Land Use Management will be a key resource for students and researchers of geography, planning, regional and tourism studies as well as planning authorities and consultants, offering new ideas and tools for the inclusion of local knowledge in decision making processes.Trade Review‘The importance of public participation in decision-making has for decades been acknowledged, but cost-effective tools are unfortunately still lacking. The book emphasizes opportunities offered by the rapid technical development within geographical information systems (GIS) that greatly facilitate public participation and co-operation between the public, academics and political decision makers. The book is well organized, with easily readable texts for non-experts, and is highly recommended for anyone interested in improving social equity in decision-making.’ -- Guðrún Pétursdóttir, University of Iceland‘Increasingly, researchers working in northern contexts are required to bring different groups and types of knowledge together to better inform policies, practices, and decisions related to natural resource governance. Many efforts thus far have proven unsuccessful. The value of this book is that it demonstrates effective methods for generating shared knowledge, illustrating ways that both western scientists and indigenous peoples can work together using contemporary approaches to foster common interests and advance a sustainable and shared future.’ -- Maureen G. Reed, University of Saskatchewan, Canada‘Lapland in Finland, with Rovaniemi as its capital, has become an important international tourism destination in recent years due to its natural environment, clean air, tourism activities and northern lights.

Book SynopsisBuilding on the experience of more than one hundred innovation strategies for smart specialisation, this book uncovers insights into their recent implementation by regional and national governments in the European Union. Although designed to boost the competitiveness of Europe and its regions, chapters analyse why the implementation of this policy model was much more complicated than expected. Offering an in-depth understanding of territories and their complexity, and highlighting why this is crucial to the topic, this timely book explores the importance of place-based innovation policy instead of a one-size-fits-all variety. It provides new reflections on the conceptual approaches for the identification of innovation priorities, the data required, the methods through which the data can be turned into useful information and the mapping of the information available. This book's insights into how the economic, scientific, innovative and societal potential of cities, regions and countries can be measured will be useful for policy-makers looking to learn from the smart specialisation of Europe. Public policy and economic innovation scholars will appreciate the strong case studies analysed in the book combined with in-depth analysis of different methodologies. Contributors include: R.

Murciego, J. van Haaren, F. van OortTrade Review'Building on the experience of the implementation of smart specialisation in EU regions the book discusses mapping tools that may be used for the design of innovation policies. It proposes a broader way of looking at innovation which requires an in-depth understanding of territories and their complexity. The book is a must read for anyone interested in innovation policy at regional level.' --Donato Iacobucci, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Italy'The book addresses one of the key difficulties in identification of regional innovation priorities, the data required, and methods to map and turn data into useful information. In the time of data proliferation, the volume provides a thorough review of the landscape of data and analytics needed to monitor and answer the most pressing of questions when designing evidence-based smart specialization strategies. An important and timely resource for policy makers and practitioners, especially when designing the next generation of innovation strategies and fulfilling the enabling conditions set by the European Union.' --Anwar Aridi, The World Bank, US'This is a refreshing book on new perspectives for innovation policies. One of the forgotten dimensions in this field has been the significance of regional specificities and territorial constellations for the innovation potential of regions and cities.

Book SynopsisElgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.This timely Advanced Introduction explores the links between housing and households, including the complex process of how people sort themselves into houses and neighborhoods. It covers the choices that households make, why these choices are made, and the constraints faced in achieving housing aspirations, with a particular focus on the contemporary difficulties facing young adults and those unable to buy a house despite a reasonable income.Key features include: using the concept of the life course to analyse residential decisions and choices discussing tenure choice, affordability and social housing, as well as how neighborhoods matter in urban studies reviewing what is known about how the housing market operates, and how families and individuals engage with the process of becoming homeowners providing new information on the urban housing environment in a time of rising inequality, low income growth and extensive regulation in the housing market. Advanced students and professionals of geography, planning, demography and economics will find this an invigorating read on how housing markets operate and the role of individual decisions about homeownership and residential space.Trade Review‘The book's interdisciplinary and multi-country approach to housing studies is a strength. As is its multiscalar understanding of housing access, starting from the individual household through the lens of residential moves, to housing units based on their design and geographic placement, then to neighborhoods as independent social units sorting residents and housing across the urban mosaic, and finally to the institutional and country levels through macro demographic forces and policies shaping housing demand and supply. Written in a clear style, this book is suitable for students and scholars in geography, sociology, urban studies, urban planning, economics, and regional studies.’ -- Noli Brazil, Journal of Urban Affairs'William A.V. Clark shares four decades of wisdom in housing studies to craft a sweeping overview and broad integration of this multi-faceted field. Scholars in urban economics, geography, sociology, and public policy and planning can all profit from this high-level orientation that links supply and demand, markets and institutions, and dynamics of people moving across urban space. Specialists will find new light shed about context and implications, and every chapter features nuggets of deeper insight.' -- - Dowell Myers, University of Southern California, US'Written by one of the leading international housing researchers, this valuable wide ranging introduction covers issues of housing demand and supply, sustainability, social housing and affordability; housing and social life and demography.

Book SynopsisElgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.This timely Advanced Introduction explores the links between housing and households, including the complex process of how people sort themselves into houses and neighborhoods. It covers the choices that households make, why these choices are made, and the constraints faced in achieving housing aspirations, with a particular focus on the contemporary difficulties facing young adults and those unable to buy a house despite a reasonable income.Key features include: using the concept of the life course to analyse residential decisions and choices discussing tenure choice, affordability and social housing, as well as how neighborhoods matter in urban studies reviewing what is known about how the housing market operates, and how families and individuals engage with the process of becoming homeowners providing new information on the urban housing environment in a time of rising inequality, low income growth and extensive regulation in the housing market. Advanced students and professionals of geography, planning, demography and economics will find this an invigorating read on how housing markets operate and the role of individual decisions about homeownership and residential space.Trade Review‘The book's interdisciplinary and multi-country approach to housing studies is a strength. As is its multiscalar understanding of housing access, starting from the individual household through the lens of residential moves, to housing units based on their design and geographic placement, then to neighborhoods as independent social units sorting residents and housing across the urban mosaic, and finally to the institutional and country levels through macro demographic forces and policies shaping housing demand and supply. Written in a clear style, this book is suitable for students and scholars in geography, sociology, urban studies, urban planning, economics, and regional studies.’ -- Noli Brazil, Journal of Urban Affairs'William A.V. Clark shares four decades of wisdom in housing studies to craft a sweeping overview and broad integration of this multi-faceted field. Scholars in urban economics, geography, sociology, and public policy and planning can all profit from this high-level orientation that links supply and demand, markets and institutions, and dynamics of people moving across urban space. Specialists will find new light shed about context and implications, and every chapter features nuggets of deeper insight.' -- - Dowell Myers, University of Southern California, US'Written by one of the leading international housing researchers, this valuable wide ranging introduction covers issues of housing demand and supply, sustainability, social housing and affordability; housing and social life and demography.

Book SynopsisThis unique book demonstrates the utility of big data approaches in human geography and planning. Offering a carefully curated selection of case studies, it reveals how researchers are accessing big data, what this data looks like and how such data can offer new and important insights and knowledge.Contributions from key scholars working in the field bring together an international series of case studies on demography and migration, retail and consumer analytics, health care planning, urban planning and transport studies. Chapters also discuss how data sets leveraged from commercial and public agency sources can greatly improve the data traditionally worked with in academic geography, regional science and planning. While addressing the challenges and limitations of big data, the book also demonstrates the usefulness of data sets held by commercial agencies and explores data linkage between big data and traditional public domain data sources.Focusing on the applications of big data to investigate issues in a spatial context, this book will be an essential guide for scholars and students of planning, mobility and human geography, particularly those who specialise in economic and transport geography. Its use of key case studies to demonstrate the applications of big data analytics in planning will also be useful for planners in these fields.Trade Review‘This is a very timely book featuring a collection of contributions from some of the world’s leading scholars working in the equivalent of social science’s ‘‘Wild West‘‘ - the world of Big Data. This book is indeed an essential companion for anyone wishing to understand the breadth of opportunities and challenges presented by data which lie outside of the traditional official statistics disseminated by governments. It will provide inspiration for those willing to take themselves out of their comfort zone and a glimpse of what is possible.‘Table of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to Big Data Applications in Geography and Planning 1 Mark Birkin, Graham Clarke, Jonathan Corcoran and Robert Stimson 2 Using social media advertising data to estimate migration trends over time 8 Monica Alexander 3 Estimating household mobility using novel big data 25 Nik Lomax 4 Using linked consumer and administrative data to model demographic changes in London’s city fringe 43 Justin van Dijk, Guy Lansley and Paul Longley 5 Combining large linked social service microdata and geospatial data to identify vulnerable populations in New Zealand 52 Lukas Marek, James Greenwell, Matthew Hobbs, John McCarthy, Jesse Wiki, Malcolm Campbell, Simon Kingham and Melanie Tomintz 6 The changing geography of clinical misery in England: lessons in spatio-temporal data analysis 64 Alexis Comber, Chris Brunsdon, Martin Charlton and John Cromby 7 Utilising smartphone data to explore spatial influences on physical activity 78 Francesca Pontin 8 Spatial extent and classification of retail agglomerations 92 Les Dolega 9 Applications of store loyalty card big data in the location planning process 106 Nick Hood, Graham Clarke, Andy Newing and Tim Rains 10 Online content of local interest and how it attracts individuals online 120 Emmanouil Tranos and Christoph Stich 11 Smart cities, big data: an overview 143 Robert Stimson and Chris Pettit 12 Is Sydney a 30-minute city?

Book SynopsisSpatial Inequalities and Wellbeing represents a timely contribution to the literature tackling one of the most crucial concerns of modern times: the rise of inequalities and its far-reaching implications for individual wellbeing. Taking a multidisciplinary perspective, the book highlights the different types and sources of inequalities and identifies opportunities for policy action to tackle various inequalities at once.Featuring expert contributions from eminent scholars, this insightful book posits that policies themselves can produce deep inequalities at the spatial level while trying to reduce them and also explores how inequalities and marginalisation depress individual wellbeing and can become a threat to political and institutional stability. Chapters critically analyse the causes of spatial inequalities, ranging from education and housing to location in the largest cities. The book also highlights the negative consequences of these gaps widening, and emphasises how participatory and bottom-up interventions can contribute to narrowing such disparities at the micro-level.Academics, researchers and students in urban and regional studies; human geography; economics and finance; politics and public policy; and sociology and social policy will find this to be an informative read. Policymakers within these fields will equally find this to be a beneficial resource.Trade Review‘The work is presented through up-to-date and scholarly comparative chapters that are immensely topical and timely. Contemporary European societies are facing the twin trends of growing socio-economic disparities between people and places, and the expansion of a regressive political populism that is undermining attempts to foster greater cohesion. This book contributes to the development and re-assertion of progressive agendas founded on social justice and the propagation of well-being.’ -- Mike Raco, University College London, UK‘Spatial Inequalities and Wellbeing: A Multidisciplinary Approach is a brilliant and original contribution to the analysis of the new spatial dimension of social inequalities in EU countries. Through the innovative lens of a multi-scalar perspective, the book deals with different aspects of the challenges related to spatial inequalities and wellbeing, using different disciplinary approaches ranging from regional economics to urban studies, from economic and urban geography to planning.’ -- Gabriele Pasqui, Politecnico di Milano, ItalyTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: the interplay among inequalities, wellbeing and space 1 Camilla Lenzi and Valeria Fedeli 1 Spatial Inequalities in an Era of Modern Reindustrialization 16 Roberta Capello and Silvia Cerisola 2 Left behind places and local democracy: German small towns under the conditions of peripheralisation 33 Thilo Lang, Franziska Görmar, Stefan Haunstein and Martin Graffenberger 3 Resolving the Urban Wellbeing Paradox: The Role of Education and Social Contact 52 Philip S.

Book SynopsisHealing the economic and social wounds inflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic will take time, but the long road to recovery presents a unique opportunity to build back better. To catalyze change and succeed in the post-pandemic era, economic development policy and practice must see the crisis as an opportunity to rethink and redesign regional economic systems. This will involve creating a shared understanding of – and policies to address – the differential impacts of the pandemic across occupations, industries, and socioeconomic groups.Rethinking how existing economic development tools, frameworks, and practices can be optimized has never been more compelling. Special attention must be given to interventions capable of accelerating desirable trends that will shape the next normal in our contemporary discussions on the COVID-19 pandemic. This book explores the challenges and opportunities heralded by the virus in the broadest sense and presents case studies on equitable and inclusive economic recoveries.Regional Economic Systems after COVID-19 offers actionable insights for regional policymakers, business leaders, investment and trade promotion agencies, site selectors, students, scholars, researchers, and organizations involved in tourism, foreign direct investment, and economic development.Table of ContentsContents: PART I THE ECONOMIC REDESIGN IMPERATIVE 1 Introduction: the economic redesign imperative 2 Fred Olayele PART II OCCUPATIONAL IDENTITY, REGIONAL RESPONSES, AND POPULATION DENSITY 2 Striving despite disruption: young people’s occupational identity and economic opportunity during COVID-19 10 Jaclyn Kelly and Anindya Kundu 3 COVID-19 in New Zealand: consequences, policies, and regional responses 41 David Wilson, Patrick McVeigh and Harvey Brookes 4 The overblown role of population density in the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City 67 Yu Zhong and Bertrand Teirlinck PART III EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC RECOVERIES AND CASE STUDIES 5 Gender equality as an economic imperative in a post-pandemic era 94 Bernadette Maria Antão Fernandes and Herb Emery 6 The imperative of childcare provision as critical infrastructure 112 Melissa Pumphrey and Poorvi Goel 7 The future of work and inclusion: case studies and takeaways for economic developers 133 Swati Ghosh and Louise Anderson PART IV FACTOR REALLOCATION AND REGIONAL INNOVATION ECOSYSTEMS 8 Modeling decreased labor access after the COVID-19 pandemic: economic, social, and demographic implications 149 Jeffrey Dykes, Billy Leung and Fred Olayele 9 Neighborhood vulnerability in critical infrastructure and services 168 Kyle Marks and Joyce Jauer 10 Clusters and regional transformation: establishing actionable forward agendas 186 Ifor Ffowcs-Williams 11 The global visitor economy and resilience challenge: Mallorca’s destination resurgence in perspective 203 Fergus T.

Book SynopsisAddressing the role of regional clusters in the context of ongoing globalization, this timely book investigates the two seemingly competing trends of globalization and localization from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. International case studies offer pioneering insights into the internationalization process of regional clusters and the effect of this on regional as well as firm performance.Chapters discuss the link between localization in a regional cluster in a transition economy and firms’ internationalization, the internal/external relationships of clusters and radical innovations, and internationally organized resilience capacities of industries and regional clusters. The book highlights the role of clusters in wider networks including global value chains and the specific role of migrants in the internationalization patterns of regional clusters.Innovative and forward-looking, this book will be a helpful read for scholars and students of economic geography and innovation. The critical case studies examined will also help public policy and regional policy-makers.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction: regional clusters and internationalization – complementary or contrasting fields of research? xv Nils Grashof, Dirk Fornahl and Julius Becker PART I RETHINKING CLUSTERS: CONCEPTUALIZATION OF CLUSTER INTERNATIONALIZATION 1 Strategic cluster coupling 2 Robert Hassink 2 From the machine learning region to the deep learning region: Tesla, DarkTrace and DeepMind as internationalized local to global cluster firms 20 Philip Cooke 3 Embedding cluster transformation in global sectoral resilience dynamics: conceptual considerations and the example of automotive production 44 Martina Fromhold-Eisebith PART II THE PROCESSES OF CLUSTER INTERNATIONALIZATION AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS 4 Migrants and cluster internationalization: case studies of Antwerp and Tel Aviv 71 Sebastian Henn and Susann Schäfer 5 Regional clusters in transition economies: solving institutional voids to generate internationalization advantages 93 Tine Lehmann and Nobina Roy PART III CLUSTER INTERNATIONALIZATION AND FIRM PERFORMANCE 6 Macroeconomic impacts on firm performance and place-based cluster policies in the Netherlands 116 Jeroen van Haaren, Frank van Oort and Jan-Daan Maasland 7 Knowledge bases, innovation and multi-scalar relationships: which kind of territorial boundedness of industrial clusters? 151 Franz Tödtling and Alexander Auer 8 Radical innovations in clusters: the role of cluster internal and external relationships 177 Nils Grashof and Thomas Brenner Index

Book SynopsisElgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This cutting-edge Research Agenda for Place Branding explores ideas and debates that inform a refreshing take on the future of place branding and marketing. It argues that we are at a juncture where the logical and sensible step is to push the 'reset button' on such activity and fully reconsider its purpose and goals.Chapters span a range of important themes in contemporary place branding and are organised into sections covering place branding governance, contexts, experience and creativity. Drawing on contributions from key international scholars across a variety of academic disciplines, the book showcases an interplay of oppositional perspectives - ranging from those who see place branding as a potential means of improving the economic vitality of places, to others who consider much existing place branding activity exclusionary to certain sectors of society.Providing a wealth of creative and innovative suggestions on how place branding can be done, thought about and researched differently in the future, this Research Agenda will be a key resource for research-oriented academics and students in marketing, geography, planning and tourism.Trade Review'Most key themes of interest to anyone involved in place branding research are covered in the governance, contexts and experiences sections, and along with the key grounding issues, the book contains some very insightful case studies. In the final chapter, Stephen Brown recognises that while place branding may have peaked, we now see more of a focus on destination demarketing. This book is therefore very timely. Since global tourism was devastated in 2020 and places seek to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, a more considered research agenda as outlined in this book may lead to places being better managed with a focus more on sufficiency than growth, so we do not face a need for destination demarketing again.' -- Heather Skinner, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK'At last, a truly critical book on a highly controversial matter, with a broad range of contributions from geography, marketing, politics and beyond. One of its many merits is the juxtaposition of contrasting perspectives: from those who see place branding as a means of improving places, to others who consider it just another tool of the neoliberal project. This volume is an indispensable reference work for anybody who wants to understand the development, limitations, and potential research agendas of this ''discipline''.' -- Ares Kalandides, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK'A Research Agenda for Place Branding is not only the title of this book - but is also much needed. While in recent decades we created common ground and shared definitions (or at least agreed to disagree), place branding now needs an academic inspiration, some novel ideas and rigorous, impactful contributions. This book combines many of the critical well-known interdisciplinary minds of our field. I invite you to read it and use its ideas to develop bold research ideas and create this necessary new research agenda for place branding.' -- Sebastian Zenker, Copenhagen Business School, DenmarkTable of ContentsContents: 1 Place branding’s present and past realities, and future research agendas 1 Dominic Medway, Gary Warnaby and John Byrom PART I GOVERNANCE 2 Place branding and the neoliberal class settlement 19 Aram Eisenschitz 3 Computational approaches to place branding: A call for a theory-driven research agenda 33 Efe Sevin 4 Demystifying participation and engagement in the branding of urban places 47 Andrea Insch 5 The spatial planning–place branding nexus: A research agenda for spatial development 67 Eduardo Oliveira, Kristof Van Assche and Raoul Beunen PART II CONTEXTS 6 Place branding and locational decisions: Taking a behavioural economics perspective? 87 Aleks Vladimirov and Gary Warnaby 7 Global city branding 101 Adriana Campelo 8 The Nordic wave in place branding: Global implications and relevance 117 Cecilia Cassinger, Andrea Lucarelli and Szilvia Gyimóthy 9 The tale of three cities: Place branding, scalar complexity and football 131 Steve Millington, Chloe Steadman, Gareth Roberts and Dominic Medway 10 Sustainable Development Goals in place branding: Developing a research agenda 151 Anette Therkelsen, Laura James and Henrik Halkier 11 Keeping pace with the digital transformation of place 163 Brendan James Keegan PART III EXPERIENCE 12 Posthuman phenomenology: What are places like for nonhumans? 183 Jack Coffin 13 Co-creation of place brands? 201 Jenny Rowley and Sonya Hanna 14 Tourism, the burden of authenticity and place branding 215 Maria Lichrou and Lisa O’Malley 15 Making ‘sense’ of place branding: Adopting a sensemaking, sensefiltering and sensegiving lens 233 Laura Reynolds and Nicole Koenig-Lewis 16 Considering place and the sensorium through the lens of non-representational theory 247 Simon Cryer PART IV CREATIVITY 17 Illuminating identity: The capacity of light festivals to enhance place? 267 Tim Edensor 18 ‘The artist in you’: Thinking differently about place branding research 283 Mihalis Kavaratzis and Gary Warnaby 19 Peak place marketing: My part in its downfall 301 Stephen Brown Index 313

Book SynopsisThis stimulating book proposes the concept of staging as a tool for planning and facilitating design and innovation activities. Drawing on a predominantly Scandinavian tradition of participatory design research and sociotechnical perspectives from actor-network theory, it discusses how staging can enable co-design, sustainable transitions and social and radical innovation.Expert researchers and practitioners present in-depth case studies on how staging can be used in practice, including co-design within the health sector, product development in industry, energy practices and urban development. Chapters also explore theoretical and conceptual developments, such as the possible spaces for staging, the role of material objects, travel and circulation of knowledge and the use of spatial and theatrical metaphors. Reflecting on how staging is practiced in a variety of settings, the book illustrates collaborative strategies that shape design and innovation processes.This book is critical reading for academics and students with an interest in public policy, knowledge management and organizational innovation. Providing actionable strategies based on participatory design, shaping technology and organizational theory, it will also be beneficial for design engineers, city planners and technology managers.Trade Review'The authors see designing - urban, systems, and engineering - as performance, an occasion for staging negotiation and exchange among all participants in the process. This metaphor nicely accommodates prototypes and material objects as intermediaries which are made, remade and deployed back and center stage. It validates the proactive work of the anthropologist/design researcher in framing, staging and directing the process, leading participants to act out different scenarios and engaging all with an interest in the design task. Unusual for a collection so varied in the objects of design it explores, the authors hold to the central theme; the result is a refreshing production that shows how designing can be made inclusive of the interests of users of all kinds and persuasions.' -- Louis Bucciarelli, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US'This book is a significant and original contribution to the field of design and innovation. Drawing on cases from across technology and product development, system transitions, the development of infrastructures and city life and bringing together influences from participatory design with literature from the fields of STS and practice theory, the book offers a coherent framework for conceptualizing actionable approaches to the staging and unfolding of innovation processes, addressing also the complexities inherent in the growing importance of sustainability and co-creation.' -- Thomas Binder, Design School Kolding, DenmarkTable of ContentsContents: Preface xv PART I INTRODUCING STAGING 1 Staging collaborative design and innovation – an introduction 2 Jens Dorland and Dominique Vinck 2 Staging: from theory to action 20 Signe Pedersen, Jens Dorland and Christian Clausen PART II STAGING PARTICIPATORY CO-DESIGN WITH MULTIPLE ACTORS 3 Staging negotiation spaces as a means for co-designing an insulin service system in India 38 Signe Pedersen and Søsser Brodersen 4 Staging co-design within healthcare: lessons from practice 55 Elizabeth B.-N.

Book SynopsisDrawing on research from diverse thinkers in urban planning and the built environment, this Handbook articulates the cutting edge of contemporary understandings about power and its impact on planning. It identifies the current state of knowledge about planning and power, as well as emerging trajectories within this field of research.This comprehensive Handbook examines power relations in late capitalism and provides normative suggestions on how power might be utilised in planning. Chapters analyse the work of fundamental theoretical thinkers, including Marx, Foucault, Deleuze, and Lacan, as well as the history and practice of abolitionist housing justice in the United States, feminist and queer perspectives on planning and power, and the emerging autonomous smart city. It demonstrates the effects of power within planning and the ways in which individuals, communities, and organisations are shaped and impacted positively and negatively by its practices.With case studies from a range of different geopolitical regions, this stimulating Handbook will be essential reading for students and scholars of architecture, community development, geography, urban and regional planning, urban design, and urban studies. It will also be beneficial for practitioners of planning and the built environment.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction to the Handbook on Planning and Power 1 Kristina Grange and Tanja Winkler PART I THEORISING POWER IN PLANNING 1 Marxian understandings of power 12 Enda Murphy and Linda Fox-Rogers 2 Lefebvre’s right to the city and a radical urban citizenship: struggles around power in urban planning 26 Lina Olsson and Elena Besussi 3 Lukes and power: three dimensions and three criticisms 42 Raine Mäntysalo 4 Michel Foucault, power and planning 58 John Pløger 5 Deleuze, Guattari and power 74 Jean Hillier 6 Lacanian perspectives on power in planning 90 Chuan Wang 7 Filling the empty place: Laclau and Mouffe on power and hegemony 104 Nikolai Roskamm 8 The destituent power of Rancière’s radical equality 118 Camillo Boano 9 Communicative planning and the transformative potential of citizen-led participation 134 Crystal Legacy 10 Insurgent planning and power 149 Bjørn Sletto 11 Decolonial approaches to thinking planning and power 165 Libby Porter 12 Questioning the power of normative ethics in planning 181 Katie McClymont PART II SITUATING POWER IN PLANNING 13 The public good and the power of promises in planning 196 Andy Inch 14 ‘Tearing down and building up’: a history, theory and practice of abolitionist housing justice in the US 211 Hilary Malson 15 Planning, informality and power 228 Mona Fawaz 16 Planning, power, and uneven development: a rent gap perspective 243 Ernesto López-Morales 17 Power in planning from a Southern perspective 258 James Duminy and Vanessa Watson 18 Queer perspectives on planning and power 273 Petra Doan and Ozlem Atalay 19 Feminist planning in the face of power: from interests and ideologies to institutions and intersections 289 Leonora C.

Book SynopsisThis book represents a major innovation in the institutional analysis of cities and their planning, management and governance. Using concepts of transaction costs and property rights, the work shows systematically how urban order evolves as individuals co-operate in cities for mutual gain. Five kinds of urban order are examined, arising as co-operating individuals seek to reduce the costs of transacting with each other. These are organisational order (combinations of property rights), institutional order (rules and sanctions), proprietary order (fragmentation of property rights), spatial order and public domain order. Property Rights, Planning and Markets also offers an institutional interpretation of urban planning and management that challenges both the view that planning inevitably conflicts with freedom of contract and the view that its function is a means of correcting market failures. Real life examples from countries and regions around the world are used to illustrate the universal relevance of theoretical generalisations, which will be welcomed by a new generation of policymakers and students who take on a world view that goes beyond national boundaries.Trade Review'This is an important book. The authors in effect offer a positive theory of planning and urbanisation. As such, Webster and Lai's model, based on institutional economics, is a vast improvement on some equally ambitious predecessors. The book's insights and clarity make it a must reading for anyone seeking better understanding of how cities evolve as they do, and why planning is an integral part of their evolution.' -- Ernest Alexander, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, US'A truly remarkable achievement.' -- Mark Pennington, Kings College, London, UK'Chris Webster and Lawrence Lai have created a coherent and insightful integration of concepts such as property rights, organizations, competition, incentives, transaction costs, public goods, and externalities, which will help theorists and urban practitioners analyze and manage city goods and services. An important insight of the authors is the recognition of the interdependencies of people in a neighborhood, which can be efficiently handled with shares in the property value of the neighborhood. There is a constant question of how much markets and how much government should be involved in urban matters, and the authors provide a reasoned, balanced approach which recognizes the vital role of government while appreciating the effectiveness of markets and decentralized decision making, including private institutions or 'clubs' such as homeowners' associations. Their position that governments and markets co-evolve and complement one another is sound, and their conclusions regarding the need to provide clear property rights and efficient rules provide us with theoretical tools to better understand how cities can be improved while being wary of the 'allure of utopia".' -- Fred Foldvary, Santa Clara University, California, US'This is a really important contribution to the planning literature. Beautifully written and clearly structured, it explains the complex relationship between "planning" and "markets" using the economic perspective of transaction cost theory and the "new-institutionalism". This provides a robust way of addressing the old "economic and planning" agenda, which the authors illustrate with references to cases and situations from across the world. Informative and stimulating, this should be included in every planning theory course, and will be helpful to all trying to re-think old debates about planning and markets.' -- Patsy Healey, Newcastle University, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword by Yoram Barzel 1.

Book SynopsisThis new authoritative collection comprises previously published papers on the political economy of environmental regulation: economic analyses of the processes through which political decisions regarding environmental regulation are made, principally in the institutional context found in the United States. Despite this geographic focus, many of the papers contain analytical models that are methodologically of interest and/or have lessons that are relevant in other parts of the world.In the environmental realm, questions of political economy emerge along three fundamental dimensions, which are closely interrelated but conceptually distinct: (1) the degrees of government activity; (2) the form of government activity; and (3) the level of government that has responsibility. The first three parts of the book deal respectively with these three fundamental dimensions of inquiry. The fourth part of the book examines the use of economic analysis in contemporary environmental policy.The Political Economy of Environmental Regulation will be of significant interest to environmental scholars, students and policy makers alike.Trade Review'In this stimulating compendium, Stavins has assembled many important papers dealing with both positive and normative themes in environmental regulation. The political economy overlay is more than a convenient organizational device, since environmental regulation is both an economic challenge and a target of political opportunity.' -- Kenneth Shepsle, Harvard University, USTable of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements Introduction Robert N.

Book SynopsisAnalytical Strategic Environmental Assessment (ANSEA) is an insightful new approach to environmental evaluation, based on decision theory, policy analysis and environmental considerations. These concepts, though not new in their own fields of application, are combined and integrated in an innovative fashion. This book presents recent research on the implementation of the ANSEA approach which aims to ensure environmental values are properly integrated into the decision-making process. ANSEA was developed to contribute to the systematic integration of environmental protection objectives in strategic decision-making which, in turn, will contribute to the promotion of sustainable development. The method can be applied to analyse how environmental and sustainability issues are addressed in decision-making processes at both the national and local level for a variety of different policies. Importantly, the focus is on evaluating the decision-making process itself, rather than the quantitative output of an assessment. With explicatory examples and practical case studies, the distinguished, interdisciplinary authors clearly illustrate how a decision-centred approach to environmental assessment can be successfully achieved. At a time when a new European directive requires the implementation of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) into all relevant decision-making processes, this timely book will be required reading for environmental policymakers in all EU member states. It will also be a valuable source of information and reference for researchers, academics and consultants in the fields of planning, environmental evaluation and environmental management.Trade Review'The book is useful, easy to read and a good addition to the references list of practitioners who use strategic environmental assessment as a day-to-day tool.' -- Eagle Bulletin'The European Directive on strategic environmental assessment requires implementing legislation and guidance in each of the European member states. Other countries worldwide are also establishing procedures for strategic environmental assessment. This very timely book on "analytical strategic environmental assessment" (ANSEA) deals head-on with the decision-making systems that these regulations and guidance documents are supposed to influence. ANSEA focuses on the quality of the decision-making process rather than on the impacts of the decision; on describing the decision process rather than the output of the decisions, and on ensuring full integration of environmental values in decision-making.' -- From the foreword by Riki TherivelTable of ContentsContents: Preface Foreword by Riki Therivel Introduction Part I: ANSEA Theoretical Background 1.

Book SynopsisWhile planning involves seeking ways of influencing future behavior, it is important to have at the outset an abstraction of the world upon which to base an assessment of outcomes. The papers in this collection represent some of the major works in the field of planning models, with land use planning as a core theme. The collection is divided into several parts:Part 1 focuses on location models and embraces a series of classic survey papers as well as a number of more specific contributions covering such topics as the distribution of residential activities. This is followed in part 2 by papers concerned with spatial interaction and, in particular the gravity model. Part 3 of the collection contains papers on micro-macro models that look at ways of moving from individual to collective behavior, whilst part 4 is concerned with dynamic models. Part 5 of the volume reflects an increasing interest in the role of various networks in the formulation of plans, and finally part 6 completes the volume with a selection of policy-planning models.Trade Review'This book deftly mixes acknowledged classics with new and important work to provide a balanced portrayal of the ways in which modelling has both informed and redefined the practices of planning. It is the indispensable guide to this indispensable area.' -- Nigel Thrift, University of Oxford, UKTable of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements Series Preface Kenneth Button and Peter Nijkamp Introduction Planning Models: Scoping the Scene Aura Reggiani, Kenneth Button and Peter Nijkamp PART I LOCATION MODELS 1.

Book SynopsisPlanning as deliberate preparation for future action is as old as human history. Agricultural land allocation and cities were always planned, as were military warfare and defence. With the growing complexity of society in the 19th century, however, planning became a discipline and profession. Since then, not only has the perception of planning and its role in society undergone significant change, but its instruments and methods have also evolved. This collection of classic papers by leading individuals of their day reflects how thinking about planning has changed over time. It also includes seminal papers on the methodology of planning to show how sophisticated techniques have been developed to meet the diverse demands of planning in a rapidly changing world.Table of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements Series Preface Kenneth Button and Peter Nijkamp Introduction Planning History and Methodology: Scoping the Scene Michael Wegener, Kenneth Button and Peter Nijkamp PART I PLANNING HISTORY 1.

Book SynopsisThis important book explores original and alternative directions for economic geography following the revolution precipitated by the advent of so-called 'new economic geography' (NEG). Whilst, to some extent, the volume could be regarded as part of the inevitable creative destruction of NEG theory, it does promote the continuing role of theoretical and empirical contributions within spatial economic analysis, in which the rationale of scientific analysis and economic logic maintain a central place. With contributions from leading experts in the field, the book presents a comprehensive analysis of the extent to which NEG theory is supported in the real world. By exploring whether NEG theory can be effectively applied to provide practical insights, the authors highlight novel approaches, emerging trends, and promising new lines of enquiry in the wake of advances made by NEG.Rigorous yet engaging, this book will be an essential tool for academics and researchers specialising in regional studies, urban and spatial economics and economic geography. It will also have widespread appeal amongst policymakers involved in planning and land use.Trade Review'This book is a serious attempt to cover all of the relevant subdisciplines in the geographical economics framework. . . I would recommend the book to students of economic geography, regional economics, and related disciplines.' -- Frans Boekema, Journal of Regional Science'. . . this book is empirically and theoretically comprehensive in its scope. The nearly eighteen authors who have contributed to this book present a truly transatlantic perspective on NEG. . . this volume will be extremely useful to those dealing with rigorous modelling to examine spatial issues in economics, geography and planning.' -- Rajiv Thakur, Regional Science Policy and Practice'I recommend the book. . . The papers of a high quality, well written and organized; empirical analyses are based on the most advanced empirical techniques, and the reader enjoys their application.' -- Roberta Capello, Growth and Change'A very interesting volume indeed, recommended reading for everyone interested in theorizing space in economics or working in the empirical spatial-economic research arena.' -- Economic Geography Research GroupTable of ContentsContents: Introduction Bernard Fingleton 1.

Book SynopsisPeter Kresl brings unique and invaluable empirical evidence, from the early 1990s through to 2005, to examine the relationship between urban competitiveness and economic-strategic planning for ten internationally networked cities within the EU.Planning Cities for the Future links the study of urban economic competitiveness with urban planning and is able to ascertain the crucial factors for success in this area of public policy. These factors include effective governance, leadership and monitoring of performance. The author also reveals how economic turbulence - macro-economic stagnation, the emergence of competitors such as China and Central Europe and the introduction of the euro for example - all have distinct impacts on the economic development of cities. He also suggests that today's economic strengths may create tomorrow's social pathologies, a fact which city planners must always keep in mind. Peter Kresl's book offers examples of cities that got it right and others that did not.Scholars and researchers interested in public sector economics, urban economic development and planning as well as city planners themselves will find much to interest and stimulate them in this book.Trade Review'The book delivers an inspiring, first-hand insight into the state of urban competitiveness and how cities may make the best use of it. . . Kresl gives a well-informed insight into urban problems and related strategies, based on a carefully deployed comparative approach.' -- Markus Hesse, Growth and Change'This volume delves into issues overlooked in many texts about the EU and will be useful for courses in European and international studies and local government.

Book SynopsisThis book begins with a theoretical examination of regional innovation systems, agglomeration economics and knowledge spillovers, before going on to examine the same concepts within an empirical framework. Special emphasis is given to the importance of proximity in the formation of regional innovation systems. It concludes by considering innovation and human capital as determinants of regional economic growth.The concept of knowledge spillovers is used within the book to explain a number of major economic phenomena, including the geographical clustering of inventions; the social returns to R&D that significantly exceed private returns; and the sizeable disproportions that exist between firms in terms of their R&D inputs and outputs. The contributors identify that small firms are responsible for far more product innovations than large firms relative to their measurable knowledge resources. The book also stresses the importance of a catch-up mechanism that sees technological improvement as the combination of two distinct types of activity: innovation and imitation. In this way, the impact of human capital and other types of knowledge acquisition on economic growth is measured. The conclusions of the contributors are invaluably oriented to policy implications.This book will appeal to researchers and postgraduate students of regional science and innovation and knowledge, as well as policymakers.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction Jordi Suriñach, Rosina Moreno and Esther Vayá PART I: REGIONAL INNOVATION SYSTEMS, AGGLOMERATION ECONOMIES AND KNOWLEDGE SPILLOVERS: THEORETICAL APPROACHES 1.

Book SynopsisThis insightful volume presents a multidisciplinary perspective on environmental planning. Drawing on the most important works in the environmental and social sciences, this collection places special emphasis on spatial dimensions and pure planning and covers such topics as: regulatory instruments and institutions; policy under bounded rationality; urban environmental planning; regulation of diffuse sources and land; location and trade and ex-post evaluation planning. In addition to many classic papers, the editor has included some recent surveys and papers which offer an original viewpoint. The book will be an essential source of reference for scholars and practitioners alike.Trade Review'This volume combines the traditional classics in environmental and resource economics with more recent classics in ecological economics and related fields to define environmental planning in a modern light. It will help researchers judge for themselves how much the field has evolved over the past 40 years. Experts will benefit from having the many important works at their fingertips, while new scholars will benefit from having leading authorities in the field identify an excellent path toward understanding it.' -- Adam Rose, University of California, US'This unique collection of papers represents an excellent resource for both teachers and professionals in the environmental planning field.' -- R.

Book SynopsisPlanning is never far from the top of the policy or media agenda, whether this concerns 'garden-grabbing', the location of wind farms or protests about travellers' sites. The operation of the planning system raises strong views, even passions, and is highly political. Planners have to engage with developers working on multi-million pound schemes and the local communities that will be affected by such schemes. And throughout, they have to work in the public interest, delivering on broad policy goals and meeting the needs of vulnerable communities. This book is about the way that the planning system works, what it can do, what it cannot do and how it should evolve to meet the challenges of the 21st century. It looks at a range of issues to unlock the purpose of planning by being positive about the role of planning while remaining realistic about its achievements and potential. Written in a clear and accessible manner, this book will be essential reading for students studying planning in a variety of disciplines and practitioners engaging with the planning system.Trade Review"A worthy contribution to the planning literature. It is refreshingly short, concise and provides a very accessible reference point and introduction to planning’s purpose in a contemporary context." Housing Studies'...a very clearly written and readable introduction to the planning field.' - Patsy Healey in Journal of Social Policy"This book brings home why planning matters to everyone - it is at the centre of a complex web of politics, culture, economics and technology that create the hard and soft fabric of a community - and as the new government sets out to radically reform the planning system 'The purpose of planning' could not be timelier."

Book SynopsisThe potential for reunification of the two Koreas, whether in the short or long term, argues for a comprehensive look at policy and planning issues that encompass the peninsula as a whole. This book deals with spatial policy issues in both South and North Korea in a broad and non-political way.Part one deals with South Korea, examining cultural changes, the capital city of Seoul, Greenbelt policy, the balanced national (regional) development strategy, and the new mega-regional approach. Part two delves into aspects of development in North Korea, such as the limitations of national statistics, the marketization of the economy, integration with the rest of North East Asia, and the need for a spatial infrastructure strategy. Part three examines the case for reunification in the interests of both the South and North. It argues that a transitional approach would be less costly and less risky than sudden reunification primarily via an early strategy of shifting more capital to the North and later by moderating migration flows to the South. The book also examines whether the capital should remain in Seoul or be relocated elsewhere should reunification occur. Professors, students and public policy officials in the fields of Asian studies, regional economics and planning, urban studies and political science and any reader interested in the future of Korea will find this book very current and enlightening.Trade ReviewChristine Bae and Harry Richardson make an appropriate and significant contribution to understanding the Korean peninsula by dealing with the broader issues there, including reunification and hot spatial policy issues raised in South Korea. . . the contents of the book as a whole are fascinating and insightful. I see it as very helpful to an understanding of spatial policy and planning in the Korean peninsula by both international and Korean readers, and by both academic scholars and general readers. - --Sam Ock Park, Journal of Regional ScienceTable of ContentsContents: Preface PART I: ISSUES AND TRENDS 1.

Book SynopsisVerkehrsprobleme werden immer weniger handhabbar, die Verkehrsplanung ist eine Wissenschaft in der Krise. Der massive Straßenbau der sechziger und siebziger Jahre hat die Probleme ebensowenig lösen können wie die Verkehrsberuhigung der Achtziger. In den Neunzigern scheinen Stadt und Land endgültig handlungsunfähig, da die vormals reichlich geflossenen Gelder ausgegangen bzw. ausgegeben sind. Jetzt kann man nicht einmal mehr so tun, als ob man Sinnvolles täte. Immer mehr Menschen fahren Auto. Städte und Landschaften verstopfen, die Umweltbelastungen aus Verkehr nehmen bedrohliche Züge an. In dieser Krise, in der klar und konsequent nach Lösungen gesucht werden müßte, haben Verkehrsplaner ihre Orientierung verloren. Sie resignieren, verstecken ihr Nicht-mehr-weiter-wissen hinter arrogantem Expertengehabe oder flüchten in technische Spielereien. Die Fachwelt ist derart verwirrt, daß sie kaum einen verständlichen Überblick über das Geschehen geben kann. So können sich erst recht Lernende, betroffene Bürger, Journalisten, Politiker oder Planer anderer Fachrichtungen kein Urteil mehr bilden. Die Grundlagen der Verkehrsplanung sind jedoch einfach und klar. "Stadt, Straße und Verkehr" untersucht und erörtert die grundlegenden Zusammenhänge in Text, Skizzen und Überschlagsberechnungen - fachlich kompetent, anschaulich und einleuchtend. Auf der Grundlage des sorgfältig aufbereiteten Materials können Architekten, Planer und Verkehrsplaner eigene Planungen beurteilen bzw. überarbeiten. Ein Handbuch! (...)
