Regions and Cities

Throughout the twentieth century, planning and planners were central to our understanding of cities and regions. Today, however, planning is facing powerful challenges - professionally, intellectually, practically - in ways arguably not seen before. Recent developments and trends are raising fundamental questions about how we plan regions. Planning is no longer solely the domain of professional planners but has been opened up to a diverse group of actors, each with their own interests. The study of cities and regions was traditionally taught in planning schools and geography departments, but this link with place and space disciplines is being steadily eroded as research increasingly takes place in and through interdisciplinary research institutes.Against this backdrop, Regions in Evolution provides the first comprehensive account of a hitherto untold history of regions and planning. Told through the unique lens of regional studies, the authors bring to light the role of key individuals, groups and disciplines in shaping research agendas and debate. It reveals voices which were marginalised, planning ideas which were lost, approaches that keep coming back and challenges that persist. Believing passionately in the values and purpose of regional planning, while sceptical of the one-size-fits-all institutional form that Regional Planning often adopts, the authors develop an argument for planning regional futures based on a multitude of approaches, methods and strategies that might still require someone to make sense of it all.

A History of Regional Planning

Regions in Evolution

This book examines policy interventions ranging from those related to finance and tenure to building materials and processes. Urbanization is growing in both developed and developing countries. The proportion of the world’s urban population is expected to increase to about 57% by 2050, and the share of Africa's urban population is project to increase to 60% by the same year. As a result of this phenomenal growth in urban population, urbanization and urban poverty have begun to dominate the development discourse again after years of focusing on rural development.
Housing is a crucial issue for the urban poor, who are often concentrated in informal settlements that often do not have sufficient access to infrastructure, health, and education services. The urban poor overwhelmingly lack land to build their own houses or access to financing that would allow them to purchase or build homes. Furthermore, housing provision has largely fallen to central governments, and policy has largely overlooked the capacity of the urban poor—as individuals and communities—to provide housing for themselves.
This book engages these challenges and assumptions, offering insight into political, economic, environmental, and financial frameworks that can help facilitate adequate housing options. Drawing on examples from 14 case studies across sub-Saharan Africa, these contributions center the urban poor in initiatives to develop housing infrastructure, offering lessons for researchers and governments looking to address an ever-escalating housing crisis.

Contemporary Models for Pro-Poor Housing in Urban Sub-Saharan Africa

There are many ideas about how the world should change to improve the lot of large portions of the population and many individuals, groups and organisations who are trying to put those ideas into practice. Development: The Basics is an absorbing introduction to those policies, practices and players in human development and addresses key questions including: Is development simply about alleviating poverty? Do development ideas work best at the global or local level? How can we achieve the goal of sustainable development? Do the outcomes always match the intentions?Featuring examples drawn from around the world, a glossary, timelines and suggestions for further reading this book is the ideal starting point for those new to the study of development.

Development: The Basics

Urban Freight Transportation Management and Planning: Practice and Theory provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of urban freight activity's role in metropolitan economies, its externalities, and public sector initiatives to mitigate negative impacts.

Chapters systematically and pedagogically provide key and easy-to-digest information on a range of topics, including local economies and the role of supply chains and freight activity; technical procedures to estimate freight generation and freight trip generation; technical details about the wide range of initiatives that could address freight issues; and effective urban freight management and planning process (including both transportation and land-use).

Palgrave Studies in Impact Finance

This Open Access book explores the evolving landscape of non-financial reporting and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance, with a specific focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and micro-enterprises. Drawing on European regulatory frameworks, stakeholder theory, and empirical case studies, the book examines how SMEs navigate sustainability demands in a context traditionally dominated by large corporations and global standards.The book addresses the historical evolution of CSR, the challenges of ESG integration for investors, and the methodological development of a composite ESG indicator tailored to SMEs. It introduces innovative tools such as the Mazziotta–Pareto Index and participatory accounting frameworks like CARE and SEMA, offering practical insights into ESG measurement and reporting. Through comparative case studies and analysis, it bridges the gap between ESG theory and SME realities, contributing to both academic research and professional practice.Ideal for scholars in economics, finance, and sustainability, as well as practitioners and policymakers, this book advances the conversation on responsible innovation, regional development, and the future of ESG in the SME sector.

This volume presents original essays by leading researchers and practitioners in postal and delivery economics, drawn from the&nbsp;32nd Conference on Postal and Delivery Economics, held in Berne (Switzerland), on 29-31 May 2024. The book explores the&nbsp;evolving dynamics of the postal and delivery sector in a rapidly changing digital and environmental landscape, offering insights into regulatory challenges, technological advancements, financial sustainability, competition, and policy innovation.
Building upon previous editions, this book continues to reflect the&nbsp;convergence of economic, technological, and regulatory transformations&nbsp;shaping the industry. It critically examines the&nbsp;future of postal services&nbsp;by addressing&nbsp;issues such as the evolution of the universal service obligations (USO) in the face of digital communication and parcel growth; the role of new pricing models, financial reforms, and regulatory frameworks in the sustainability of the sector; leveraging digital innovation and green transitions for improved efficiency, competition, and environmental performance;&nbsp;analytical and methodological approaches for optimizing postal networks and policy decisions.

First published in 1984, Industrialization in West Africa is an authoritative text on the industrial development efforts, spatial characteristics and related problems of countries comprising the West African region. The book commences with a detailed description of the political and economic background against which the slow and unsteady pace of industrialization in each country can be appreciated. The analysis outlines the resource potential and historical evolution and structural characteristics of modern manufacturing in the region. The final section assesses the spatial characteristics of West African industrialization, the major problems inhibiting industrial development and frustrating efforts towards economic independence by each country. In conclusion the author considers remedial policy options open to West African countries, both individually and in a common market framework. This book is a valuable source material for all students of social science, geography, economics and regional planning.
