In recent decades, the intensification of unpredictable events including the Covid-19 outbreak, Brexit, trade warfare, religion-inspired terrorism and civil wars, and climate change has resulted in serious loss of human lives and property, a decrease in biodiversity and natural hazards (with long-term negative impacts on environment), and impeded social and economic development. Economics and Engineering of Unpredictable Events: Modelling, Planning and Policies provides an integrated view of the management of unpredictable events incorporating three major perspectives: economic management, environmental planning and engineering models. Contributors from economics, planning, regional science, and engineering address key questions including; How resilient are human societies and their habitats? What should societies do to shift from being vulnerable to being more resilient? And what role should planning and policies play to protect communities and the natural environment? The chapters cover academic debates, conceptual reflections, case studies, methods, and strategy development with particular reference to mitigation and adaptation in face of unpredictable events. This book is of particular interest to readers of economic policy, urban and regional planning and engineering.

Planning evaluation is required to establish the success of planning interventions – both of physical developments and new approaches. Yet this should not be a task undertaken purely by professionals without participation by those affected by the process and outcomes of the projects. This book provides case studies and advice on how to balance conservation with economic growth, the cost effectiveness of plans alongside the effects upon the community and the importance of engaging with all stakeholders involved in a project.Practical aspects of the evaluation process covered include: how evaluation is used in planningintroducing new kinds of information or criteriaalternative ways of collecting/presenting informationhow strategic planning objectives are implemented in local practice.International contributors provide empirical studies and cases of application which are of practical value to those involved in the evaluation of planning. The book concludes by offering a new paradigm – a locally oriented, context-specific, participatory and multi-disciplinary approach to planning evaluation.

This book provides recently developed and tested methods for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of planning and policy options. Several contributions focus on new substantive areas of concern in planning evaluation, including environmental justice and sustainable urban development. Applications of evaluation in several planning contexts are demonstrated, and special problems that these pose are assessed. Several chapters address how to communicate the process and results to several stakeholder groups, and how to engage these groups in the evaluation process. Each chapter employs a real-world case in practice, thus dealing with the complexity of applying planning evaluation, and providing practical advice useful in similar situations.

This text provides a comprehensive picture of the state of research in urban and regional planning evaluation, integrating contributions from key scholars in the field. The volume covers a variety of aspects, including methodological issues, analysis of practice, and epistemological and theoretical questions. Although different positions emerge, all authors share the common intention to link developments in planning theory with approaches to evaluation research - rising concerns for communicative planning, complexity, participation, sustainable development, conservation of the natural and built heritage, all challenge consolidated and institutionalized evaluation models and practice. The contributors face this challenge and offer an updated picture of a new identity for evaluation in planning. This book will be of interest to academics, researchers and practitioners in urban and regional planning evaluation, project appraisal, urban planning and policy, public sector management and policy analysis and environmental sciences.

Cultural economics as a field of research involves twoareas, culture and economy. These two areas have beentraditionally regarded as each other''s antithesis. However,the economic aspects of culture have increasingly become amatter of everyday reality for persons working in thecultural field. The economy of culture has always been inthe focus of political interest. Political decisionsconcerning such priority areas as the development ofregional institutions, support to the artists and culturalprogrammes for children and youth have important economicimplications. This book deals with a range of topics incultural economics. It contains original papers byeconomists workingin the field from 15 different countriesand covers a host of both theoretical and practical issues,covering the performing arts, arts marketsand museums. Itrepresents an up-to-date statement of the application ofeconomic ideas to cultural questions.

This book is the result of a three day workshop on "Evaluation in theory and practice in spatial planning" held in Ramsey Hall, University College London, in September 1996. Some 30 people from 8 different countries attended and 20 papers were presented. The majority of them now form the basis for this book. This occasion was the third on the topic, the two preceding having taken place in Umea in June 1992 and in Bari in 1994. Following these three meetings, we can now say that this small, industrious, international family really enjoy meeting up from time to time at each others places, in the presence of older members and new children, each one presenting his/her own recent experiences. It particularly enjoys exchanging views and arguing about the current state and the future of evaluation in spatial planning (all families have their vices ... ). It is also pleasing to see these experiences and discussions resulting in a book for those who could not attend and for the broader clan inthe field. Not long time ago, but ages in the accelerated academic time scale, evaluation in planning established its own role and distinct features as an instrument for helping the decision-making process. Now this role and these features are exposed to major challenges. First, the evolution of planning theory has lead to the conception of new planning paradigms, based on theories of complexity and communicative rationality.

År 1961 kom en ung zanzibarier (författaren) till Göteborg på ett internationellt stipendium för att studera samhällsvetenskap. Målet var att återvända och göra en insats för Zanzibars utveckling, men ödet ville något annat. Revolutionen, som inträffade på Zanzibar 1964, krossade drömmen om en framtid där. Författaren tillhörde en indisk minoritet på Zanzibar, fast familjen hade bott på ön i över ett sekel. Berättelsens första del handlar om familjens ursprung i Kutchprovinsen i Gujarat och uppväxten på en mytomspunnen sagoön, med en tyrannisk far och konfliktfylld tillvaro. Berättelsens andra del handlar om acklimatisering till livet i Sverige. Författarens resa i Sverige tar honom från Göteborg till Umeå och Örebro och slutligen till Stockholm. Den omfattar en akademisk karriär som sträcker sig från en tjänst som assistent i nationalekonomi till en professur i samhällsplanering. Den berättar om sökandet efter tryggheten i det personliga livet men också i ett jämlikt och solidariskt samhälle. Berättelsen skildrar en mångbottnad känsla av utanförskap, orsakat av personliga motgångar och ett tilltagande främlingskap i ett alltmer otryggt samhälle. Denna självbiografiska berättelsen bygger till stor del på författares egna hågkomster och minnen, vilket historien lär oss, kan vara förrädiska kunskapskällor. Därför bör alla hänvisningar till händelser och personer betraktas som autofiktiva. Abdul Khakee är född på Zanzibar. Han har bott i Sverige sedan början på 1960-talet och har varit verksam som forskare och lärare inom svenskt universitetsväsende sedan 1964. Han är nu professor emeritus i samhällsplanering och har publicerat flera böcker inom detta forskningsområde.

Staden med dess problem och möjligheter har hamnat på dagordningen i europeisk politik. I Sverige är det framför allt den etniska segregeringen i storstäderna som blivit den utlösande faktorn för en nationellt övergripande stadspolitik. På lokal nivå finns också andra utmaningar som tävlar om politikernas uppmärksamhet. Med satsningar på spektakulära byggnader och kulturella evenemang vill man öka den egna stadens dragningskraft i konkurrens med andra orter. Läs mer om boken på studentlitteratur.se
