Abstract

This book presents approaches to landscape modelling not only from geography but also from various related disciplines, especially from applied mathematics, computer science, and geophysics. New methods of terrain representation, analysis and classification are presented as well as short- and long-term process models. The intention of the book is not to give a complete overview of these broad and complex topics, but to stimulate interdisciplinary cooperation and to encourage scientists to consider the ideas of related disciplines.

Abstract

This book demonstrates the state of the art in the use of information systems and modelling methods in different spatial/geographical planning contexts. It provides a review of developments in the 1990s and detailed insights into the current application of geographical information technology in urban, physical, environmental and socio-economic planning. Important advances in the use of the Internet for access to data and to GIS for planning are also considered. Perspectives are provided by a wide range of contributors from academia, planning practice and the business world.

Abstract

Is de benaming 'stad' nog wel van toepassing op de hedendaagse stedelijke zones met uitdijende periferieën en omvangrijke suburbs? Het urbanisatieproces dat twee eeuwen geleden werd ingezet en voor brokkelige stedelijke structuren zorgde, heeft de lokale identiteit van de stad geleidelijk veranderd. Verkeert de stad in een crisis? Bernard Colenbrander gaat in de fascinerende studie De Verstrooide Stad op zoek naar de nieuwe betekenis en inhoud van de stad. Aan de hand van een analyse van stedebouwkundige theorieën, de sociale orde en de geografische omstandigheden die de stadsstructuur bepalen, toont hij aan dat ook de huidige verstrooide stad - ogenschijnlijk een ongeprogrammeerd complex - zich ontwikkelt volgens een systematisch ruimtelijk mechanisme.

Abstract

This book is a study of design initiatives and policies in five US West Coast cities — Seattle (including Bellevue), Portland, San Francisco, Irvine and San Diego—all of which have had particularly interesting urban design experience of relevance to practice in Britain and other countries. Although these cities are not a representative sample of all American design practice, they provide a rich vein of ideas about recent policy development and current initiatives which will stimulate thought about the formulation of effective design controls. The presentation of substantial extracts from key documents that underpin design controls in the five cities will be of interest, inspiration and practical use to academics and practitioners who want to know more about American practice and who want to contribute to improvements in the standards and quality of urban design policies and design control. The opening chapter provides a national context and a comparative framework for the study, with a focus on international perspectives, American planning systems and the development of criteria for comparison and evaluation. The five subsequent chapters take each city in turn, briefly reviewing the salient characteristics of each one before presenting an account of how planning and design policy have evolved in the last twenty-five years; key features of the contemporary systems of design control are highlighted and a summary evaluation is made. The focus in the case studies is on how policy and guidance have been formulated, structured and presented in the various documents that make up the policy framework, how the process of control operates, and how both respond to the criticisms commonly made of design and control. This final chapter draws general conclusions about the experience of the studied cities of wider relevance to American design review practice, but which are of interest to those engaged in design review and policy formulation everywhere.
