After a long period of suburbanization, cities have been in vogue again since the 1980s. But why are people prepared to spend far more money on a small house in the city centre than on a large house in the countryside - and why doesn't this apply to all cities? The authors of this book argue that the appeal of the city in the 21st century is not only determined by the production side of the economy, but also by the consumption side: its array of shops, cultural activities and, for example, an historic city centre. All these factors translate into a huge disparity in land prices as well as different wages for urban and rural citizens. This study maps out these variations, with an economic approach to spatial planning and an emphasis on land rents as a basis for cost-benefit analysis. The use of land prices as a reflection of the appreciation for urban amenities is an ideal measurement tool in the cost-benefit analyses for local investments and spatial planning policies, and sheds new light on the organisation of public administration. This accessible book will be of interest to geographers, economists and social scientists, as well as policymakers involved in urban planning, seeking an in-depth understanding of land prices and the increasing importance of cities in the 21st century.

Essentials of Urban Design explains the fundamental concepts of urban design, providing the understanding and tools needed to achieve better design outcomes. It is equally useful for designing places and evaluating designs. Each chapter outlines the key steps in designing or assessing a different type of development. All common types of urban development are addressed, from infill buildings to whole urban growth areas, residential to employment uses, and centres to public transport interchanges. For each development type, widely accepted urban design principles are explained, and'rules of thumb'provided. This practical handbook is liberally illustrated with diagrams, photos of'good'and'bad'examples of urban design and handy checklists for common urban design tasks. It will be a valuable reference tool for architects, developers, urban planners, traffic engineers, landscape architects, councillors, planning lawyers, planning tribunal members and residents concerned about development.

"A partir d'une analyse des principaux documents d'urbanisme dont s'est dotée Bruxelles depuis le début des années 1960, l'auteur interroge la production des cadres de l'aménagement du territoire et évalue les conditions qui permettent aux acteurs de s'en saisir. Déplaçant l'attention de la finalité des politiques vers les procédures de leur mise en oeuvre, ce regard permet une lecture nouvelle du modèle d'aménagement mis en oeuvre dans le contexte institutionnel complexe de la capitale belge et met en lumière des dimensions encore peu explorées de l'action publique : son ouverture aux arrangements, ses zones d'incertitudes, ses espaces de négociations..."-- 4e de couv.
