Goonewardena Kanishka: The Future of
Planning at the End of History

The Future of Planning at the End of History

Community Development Research and Practice Series

This edited collection presents successful business succession planning in smaller rural communities where profit margins are low, markets are shrinking, and there are few potential buyers. Chapters outline options for successfully transitioning businesses that have worked in Canada, England, and the U.S.

Strategies in a New Era

Retaining and Transitioning Businesses in Communities

Routledge Advances in Regional Economics, Science and Policy

Despite the conventional wisdom that affordable housing, either in the form of homeownership or through access to rental units, has beneficial effects for households, society, and the economy more broadly, there is a noteworthy lack of empirical studies of housing development and construction companies or building societies that actively work to supply this asset class in the economy. There are several reasons for this condition, including the "thin market" for such business activities. This book offers a case study that includes two Swedish housing development companies that have targeted a market niche for affordable homes that few other companies and market actors are concerned with.One company is part of a major construction company conglomerate which produces prefabricated housing modules to better serve the low-end niche of the housing market. The other company is a municipality-owned housing development company that acts on the basis of market practices and rules but that also on policymakers' stated ambition to provide affordable homes for the residents in the municipality, the largest municipality in a major Swedish metropolitan area. Taken together, the study of these two companies provides first-hand insights into how the production of affordable homes takes place in a real-world economy.The book is of relevance for a variety of readers, including graduate students, management scholars, policymakers, and management consultants.

GIS in Action

Cities across the world are facing a convergence of environmental risks, from flooding and extreme heat events to air pollution and water scarcity. These threats are increasingly uneven in their impacts and deeply shaped by local geography. This book offers a practical, accessible guide to understanding and responding to these threats using open-source geographic information systems (GIS) and freely available spatial data. Through real world case studies, the author discusses each risk separately to meet the needs of decision-making when urban threats happen. Features<ul> <li>Focuses on mapping specific urban threats such as water scarcity, flood risk, fire, urban heat islands, and more.</li> <li>Takes a risk-by-risk approach grounded in the everyday realities of each city and using geospatial tools to support action.</li> <li>Shows how to analyze urban threats using open tools like QGIS, freely accessible satellite imagery, and public datasets.</li> <li>Emphasizes concepts and decision-making rather than software mastery, making it suitable for a variety of readers.</li> </ul>By demystifying geospatial analysis and emphasizing hands-on, place-based projects, this book empowers readers, such as students, city planners, journalists, community advocates, and public health officials alike to investigate environmental risks in their own neighborhoods and use maps to support smarter, more equitable action.

This book contextualises issues relating to trends in global discourses on development such as globalization and regionalisation, which are significant for South Africa, and indeed, for the study of the political economy of regional development in the country from the prism of South Africa as a global capitalist state.

Changing Mobilities

Mobility Injustice by Design examines the social exclusion of vulnerable people in urban spaces, revealing how millions of citizens have their 'right to roam' curbed by design and planning decisions made either intentionally to facilitate immobility or social exclusion, or because of a lack of awareness of the aggregated consequences.Ole B. Jensen's insightful volume offers a theoretically informed framework, allowing us to 'see' mobility injustices more clearly, consider how new knowledge can mobilize design ethics, and think about how mobility justice can be brought about. It challenges us to reassess how choices of materials, design of spaces, and implementation of technologies afford or hinder particular mobilities. It explores a way of thinking about mobility and injustice that recognizes that everyone is assisted in their mobility practices and that human capacity for acting in the world is mediated by spaces, things, artifacts, and technologies. It examines not only the centrality of design but also the possibility that design may be working counter to the widespread cultural belief that design is in the service of 'the good'. It locates thinking about mobility injustice between affect, experiences, and sensations on the one hand and reason, principles, and formal rules on the other. Focusing on three realms of practice, it reveals the ways in which the design of cities and urban spaces accommodates the needs of people living as unhoused, disabled, and aged and how these groups experience mobility injustice. Crucially, it provides insight into the potential to move toward a future, more mobility¿just society on a local, national, and global scale, in light of warfare, environmental, and migration crises.Mobility Injustice by Design informs the future agenda of both critical mobilities research and the design fields and reflects on the potential for those in the arts and design to provoke public engagement in these timely issues. It is essential reading for all those concerned with the study and practice of mobilities theory, urban sociology, urban planning and design, architecture, urban geography, disability studies, and gerontology.

The Temporality of Building

With ever-decreasing affordability and availability of homes, the UK has a longstanding and complex housing crisis. Rather than laying the blame on a particular group or cause, this book explains the root causes of our current housing situation and proposes useful ways forward. The author uses his experience of delivering housing policy in Greater Manchester to analyse the interlocking issues of demographic and social policy change, the financial and planning systems, the construction industry and the UK's recent change of government. Key reading for housing researchers and policy makers, this book analyses recent reform plans and the feasibility of achieving an effective and accessible UK housing landscape.

Originally published in 1986, this book compares and evaluates the effects of converting rental housing into owner occupancy in the USA, the UK and Germany.

Originally published in 1986, this book compares and evaluates the effects of converting rental housing into owner occupancy in the USA, the UK and Germany. The evaluation examines the pros and cons of such conversions. The conversion controversy is more than a technical discussion of outcomes of different housing strategies. By viewing tenure conversions as strategies for limiting direct governmental involvement, this comparative evaluation indicates something about the effects not only on housing, but on general social welfare, of such strategies.
