Planning and the Intelligence of... | Buy

In an era of globalization, urban growth dynamics are dependent on social and economic interactions, such as "networks", rather than geographical location. Traditional hierarchical planning institutions and legislation find it virtually impossible to cope with the increasingly complex collection of players involved in the planning process. Based on an in-depth analysis of an innovative US state-sponsored planning process, this volume focuses on the experimentation of more flexible concerted and negotiated approaches which attempt to build up consensus between the various players and highlights the resulting drawbacks and opportunities.
