Taylor & Francis Planning After Petroleum
Book SynopsisThe past decade has been one of the most volatile periods in global petroleum markets in living memory, and future oil supply security and price levels remain highly uncertain. This poses many questions for the professional activities of planners and urbanists because contemporary cities are highly dependent on petroleum as a transport fuel. How will oil dependent cities respond, and adapt to, the changing pattern of petroleum supplies? What key strategies should planners and policy makers implement in petroleum vulnerable cities to address the challenges of moving beyond oil? How might a shift away from petroleum provide opportunities to improve or remake cities for the economic, social and environmental imperatives of twenty-first-century sustainability?Such questions are the focus of contributors to this book with perspectives ranging across the planning challenge: overarching petroleum futures, governance, transition and climate change questions, the role ofTrade Review"When future generations look back on today’s struggle to move off oil as the lifeblood of global society, they will wonder why it took so long for people to see the writing on the wall and find a better way to power the engines of human endeavor. This volume makes an important contribution to that writing on the wall and presents promising tools needed to deal with our energy problems. If contemporary economic and political leaders can learn from the thoughtful approaches in this book, the inevitable post-carbon future that awaits will bring a brighter day for human civilization."Anthony Perl, Professor of Urban Studies & Political Science, Simon Fraser University, CanadaTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsList of FiguresList of TablesList of AbbreviationsNotes on ContributorsForewordBrendan GleesonIntroduction1.

Taylor & Francis Transport Justice
Book SynopsisTransport Justice develops a new paradigm for transportation planning based on principles of justice. Author Karel Martens starts from the observation that for the last fifty years the focus of transportation planning and policy has been on the performance of the transport system and ways to improve it, without much attention being paid to the persons actually using or failing to use that transport system.There are far-reaching consequences of this approach, with some enjoying the fruits of the improvements in the transport system, while others have experienced a substantial deterioration in their situation. The growing body of academic evidence on the resulting disparities in mobility and accessibility, have been paralleled by increasingly vocal calls for policy changes to address the inequities that have developed over time. Drawing on philosophies of social justice, Transport Justice argues that governments have the fundamental duty of providing virtuallyTrade ReviewNamed one of Book Authority's 100 Best Transportation Books of All Time"For academics, this book presents a long-overdue discussion on transport justice from a philosophical perspective. For practitioners, the rules developed in the book may serve as guidance and a starting point for establishing a transportation planning process that is more fair and inclusive. For policymakers, this book sheds light on the shortcomings of current financing, taxation, and project selection schemes and assists them in making informed decisions when implementing interventions in the transportation system." -Journal of the American Planning Association"In Transport Justice Martens considers many dimensions of fairness in society’s provision of physical accessibility, demonstrating clearly how concepts of justice developed by renowned thinkers like Rawls and Dworkin can be extended to, and quantified in, the assessment of urban transport systems to improve the process of regional transport planning." Martin Wachs, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of California Los Angeles, USA"Transport Justice is an exceptionally important and original addition to urban studies literature. Combining theoretical and practical insights, it shows the way in which transportation policy, usually a technical domain focused on efficiency, can be a significant contributor to equity and sets up principles for evaluating transportation systems in terms of the distribution of benefits." Susan S. Fainstein, Author, The Just City"Karel Martens has written an insightful, thoughtful book that will transform the field of equity analysis of transportation systems. By focusing on accessibility and establishing new thresholds for analysis, he presents a new analytical framework that focuses on justice." Deb Niemeier, Ph.D., Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California Los Angeles, USA"Karel Martens observes that justice principles play a key role in the domains of housing, health care and education. In contrast, the domain of transport is dominated by one notion: efficiency, efficiency, efficiency. The choice of subject is therefore in itself already a revolution in our thinking about mobility... This book caters for readers who realize that scientific and societal progress benefits mostly from asking the right questions, even if sometimes there are no ready-made answers." Kris Peeters, Eindelijk, de essentie!"In Transport Justice, Martens addresses a large, informed and educated public, targeting both transport specialists, theoreticians and practitioners, as well as students and activists. It covers a very wide range of transportation planning issues. (…) All those working on transportation justice issues will benefit from reading the first two and last three chapters, which will certainly renew the debate about transportation fairness." -Fannie Bélanger-Lemay, UrbanitésTable of ContentsPart 1: Introduction1.

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers The Road More Traveled
Book SynopsisThough often dismissed as a minor if irritating nuisance, congestion''s insidious effects constrain our personal and professional lives, making it harder to find a good job, spend time with our family, and maintain profitable businesses. After centuries of building our cities into bustling centers of commerce and culture, we are beginning to slow down. The Road More Traveled shines a new light on the problem of traffic congestion in this easily accessible book. You''ll learn how we can reclaim our mobility if we are willing to follow successful examples from overseas, where innovations in infrastructure and privatization have made other nations stronger and more competitive. By thoroughly debunking the myths that keep our policy makers trapped in traffic, the book argues that we can and should build our way out of congestion and into a fast-paced future.Trade ReviewThis book adds three unusual assets to the congestion debate—it's bright and readable, chock-full of facts, and provides real world solutions. The Road More Traveled should be required reading not only for planners and their students, but for anyone who loves cities and wants them to thrive as real places, not merely as museums, in the 21st century. -- Joel Kotkin, Irvine Senior Fellow, New America Foundation, and author of The City: A Global HistoryThe Road More Traveled is a well-written, logical, and practical approach to congestion mitigation in America. I strongly encourage that it be read by every public policy maker who is struggling for real solutions to the traffic congestion crisis facing our nation. It dispels long-standing myths, replaces them with factual data, and offers results-based solutions. -- S. David Doss, State Transportation Board of GeorgiaThe Road More Traveled provides a thoughtful analysis on the causes of congestion and offers detailed suggestions for relieving it in America's cities. Balaker and Staley clearly debunk the myth that there is nothing we can do about congestion. -- Mary E. Peters, National Director, Transportation Policy and Consulting, HDR Inc. and former Administrator for the Federal Highway AdministratioThe Road More Traveled clearly outlines the transportation infrastructure problems facing our country and examines several innovative funding solutions. This book will change the way Americans view our highways and interstates and show them how we can build better roads at less expense for the next generation. -- Senator Jim DeMint, South CarolinaThe Road More Traveled is an important wake-up call to us all, but especially to policy makers and transportation officials. Balaker and Staley convincingly show how costly traffic conjestion is. But more importantly they demonstrate that the defeatists who claim that we should just learn to live with gridlock are wrong. The book lays out a road map for restoring our lost mobility. One can only hope that policy makers, government officials, community leaders, and the media read this book. -- Robert D. Atkinson, president of The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation and author of Supply-Side Follies: Why Conservative EconomicsMany people complain about highway traffic and many policy makers respond with plans for more transit and more HOV lanes. To help us all get past the quackery, Balaker and Staley argue persuasively for policies that might actually work. Buy their book, read it, and then send it on to your favorite political representative. -- Peter Gordon, School of Policy, Planning and Development, University of Southern CaliforniaTable of ContentsChapter 1 Preface Part 2 Part I.

Taylor & Francis City Spaces Tourist Places Urban Tourism
Book SynopsisOver the last decade, commentaries and research on urban tourism precincts have predominantly focused on: their role in the tourism attractions mix; their physical and functional forms; their economic significance; their role as a catalyst for urban renewal; their evolution and associated development processes; and, perhaps more broadly, their role, locality and function within the context of urban planning. City Spaces â Tourist Places both consolidates and develops the extant knowledge of urban tourism precincts into a coherent research driven contemporary work. It revisits and examines the foundational literature but, more importantly, engages with aspects of precinct development that have previously been either underdeveloped or received only limited consideration, such as the psychological and socio-cultural dimensions of the precinct experience. Written by an international team of contributors it provides the reader with:* A comprehensive analysis of foundational theory and cutting-edge advances in the knowledge of the precinct phenomenon * An examination of previously underdeveloped topics and themes based on contemporary and ground-breaking research * Typological and theoretical frameworks in which to locate precinct form, function and experienceBrilliantly edited to ensure theoretical continuity and coherence City Spaces â Tourist Places is vital reading for anyone involved in the study or planning of urban tourism precincts.Table of ContentsSection 1 – Foundations; Chapter 1: Urban tourism precincts: engaging with the field by Bruce Hayllar, Tony Griffin & Deborah Edwards; Chapter 2: Evolution of the tourism precinct by Costas Spirou; Chapter 3: Places and people: a precinct typology by Tony Griffin, Bruce Hayllar & Deborah Edwards; Chapter 4: Theorising precincts: disciplinary perspectives by Simon Darcy & Jennie Small; Section 2 - Key themes and issues; Chapter 5: Urban tourism precincts: an overview of key themes and issues by Deborah Edwards, Tony Griffin & Bruce Hayllar; Chapter 6: Precincts within the urban form: relationships with the city by Ian Kelly; Chapter 7: The structure and form of urban tourism precincts: setting the stage for tourist performances by Christopher Krolikowski & Graham Brown; Chapter 8: Precincts and the urban economy by Brent Ritchie; Chapter 9: The tourist experience of precincts by Martin Selby, Bruce Hayllar & Tony Griffin; Chapter 10: Conflicts and politics in precinct development by Glen Searle; Chapter 11: Visitor/host relationships: conviviality between visitors and host communities by Robert Maitland & Peter Newman; Section 3 - Precincts in practice; Chapter 12: Precinct planning and design, management and marketing: an overview by Tony Griffin, Bruce Hayllar & Deborah Edwards; Chapter 13: Precinct Case Study 1 Grote Markt Groningen by Gregory Ashworth; Chapter 14: Precinct Case Study 2 Darling Harbour by Deborah Edwards, Tony Griffin & Bruce Hayllar; Chapter 15: Precinct Case Study 3 London’s ‘south bank’ by Duncan Tyler and Munir Morad; Chapter 16: Precinct Case Study 4 Sheffield City Centre by Kirsten Holmes and Yasminah Beebeejaun; Chapter 17: Precinct Case Study 5 Evora (Portugal) and Hoi An (Vietnam) by Graham Brooks; Section 4 - Lessons for theory and practice; Chapter 18: City places: tourist spaces – a reprise by Bruce Hayllar, Tony Griffin & Deborah Edwards.
