Description

Product Description This guide for tomorrow’s urban practitioner examines fourteen best practices spanning three continents, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of different simulation practices for city leadership, public and private partnership, and citizen involvement. Review From the reviews:“This book is aimed at managers and planners involved in the implementation of suitable planning policies and it includes strategies that have been tested and used around the global. … this book is an excellent presentation of urban planning and how integrated approaches are being considered and implemented around the global today. … Widespread inclusion of maps (many in color), supports the presentation in this book very effectively.” (Jeff Thurston, 3D Visualization World Magazine, 3dvisworld.com, September, 2012) From the Back Cover This guide for tomorrow’s urban practitioner systematically explains fifteen best practices across three continents; it explores questions of broad interest for designing and planning the future of cities and regions. Key questions addressed are: Is simulation useful to explore the effects of different design, policy and planning strategies? Which approach will help manage the uncertainties of metropolitan areas both today and tomorrow ? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the different simulation practices for city leadership, public and private partnership, and citizen involvement? The book reviews computer models and media, socio-political initiatives, professional practices which help communicating the future effects of different design, political and planning strategies with a wide range of aims: from information, through consultation, towards active participation. These world best practices are considered according to four leading issues for urban and regional development, respectively Simulation, Scenario and Visioning, Government and Governance, and Scale. The book examines the approaches adopted technically and procedurally. The selected knowledge and the innovative tools used in each case study are among the most advanced and up-to-date in the professional and research fields. This volume successfully illustrates these innovative practices and methodologies in a straightforward and accessible way.
