Public Participation Process in Urban Planning

Evaluation Approaches of Fairness and Effectiveness Criteria of Planning Advisory Committees

By: Kamal Uddin,Bhuiyan Monwar Alam

This book critically examines the public participation processes in urban planning and development by evaluating the operations of Planning Advisory Committees (PACs) through two meta-criteria of fairness and effectiveness. Traditional models of public participation in planning have long been criticized for separating planners from the public. This book proposes a novel conceptual model to address the gaps in existing practices in order to encourage greater public involvement in planning decisions and policymaking. It assesses the application of the evaluative framework for PACs as a new approach to public participation evaluation in urban planning. With a case study focused on the PACs in Inner City area of Canberra, Australia, the book offers a conceptual framework for evaluating fairness and effectiveness of the public participation processes that can also be extended to other countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada, Scandinavian countries, the European Union, and some Asian countries such as India. Offering valuable insights on how operational processes of PACs can be re-configured, this book will be a useful guide for students and academics of planning and public policy analysis, as well as the planning professionals in both developed and developing countries.

Pakistan

A Possible Future

By: K. Tausif Kamal

Pakistan is the world’s second-largest Muslim nation; it is strategically located and armed with nuclear weapons. It is also in a precarious position: its economy is collapsing to the point of bankruptcy, and many factors other threaten its stability as well: terrorism, ethnic uprisings, unsustainable population growth rate, water scarcity, illiteracy, and poverty. Even so, author Tausif Kamal points to country’s nationalism, resiliency, and survival instincts as things that could ensure Pakistan’s viability and continuity as a nation-state. In Pakistan: A Possible Future, Kamal traces the country’s constitutional history and holds its two most respected institutions responsible for the disruption of the rule of law and the instability that resulted from the disruption. For future survival and progress, Pakistan must strive to become a non-revisionist, non-violent, peaceful, tolerant, market-oriented, modern state. To accomplish that goal, Kamal proposes tough, pragmatic, and achievable measures the nation to ease its problems and begin the process of reforming itself. Focusing on the future of Pakistan, this unique, wide-ranging study offers an unflinching analysis of the nation’s predicaments, both foreign and domestic, and provides practical suggestions for overcoming them.

The Renewable Revolution

How We Can Fight Climate Change, Prevent Energy Wars, Revitalize the Economy and Transition to a Sustainable Future

By: Sajed Kamal

Our environment and society is threatened by fuel shortages, a changing climate and energy wars. In our race for survival we are awakened to the simple truth that the essential condition of sustainability lies in our ability to live within the limits and renewability of natural resources. It invokes within us an urgent need for transition from an obsolete, destructive and unsustainable energy path to a sustainable path of innovation, renewable energy and peace. The good news is that the technology required to make this transition is already available. From an author with over thirty years' experience campaigning for and setting up renewable energy projects around the world, this book is unique for its interdisciplinary approach-interweaving technology, economics, environmental science, philosophy, history, spirituality and politics, asserting that to understand the crisis and find a sustainable solution requires a holistic perspective. Readers will understand the vast renewable resource we have at our disposal in the form of solar, wind, water, heat and biogas, and the technologies used to harness this power. There are also the emerging prospects of solar hydrogen fuel cells, biofuels and geothermal. The true economic advantages of a shift to a renewables-based economy (and how we can get there) are also laid out clearly. There's much to learn from examples around the world while we devise local and appropriate solutions. Written for a crossover readership of students, educators, professionals, academics, activists and policymakers, both nationally and internationally, this is a comprehensive but readable and practical book that will inspire readers to wake others up to our renewable solutions.

Social Formation in Dhaka, 1985-2005

A Longitudinal Study of Society in a Third World Megacity

By: Kamal Siddiqui,Jamshed Ahmed,Kaniz Siddique,Sayeedul Huq,Abul Hossain,Shah Nazimud-Doula,Nahid Rezawana

By the middle of the twenty-first century, more than fifty per cent of the world's population will live in an urban environment. Most of this new urban growth will take place in Asia and Africa, yet most governments in these two continents seem woefully unprepared for the challenges they will face in providing their urban citizens with the basic services and security from poverty, environmental degradation and crime. It is in this context that in-depth studies which lay bare the contours and characteristics of society and institutions in the urban setting of Third World countries assume importance and urgency. Most studies on urbanisation in developing countries concentrate on slums and shanty towns in isolation from the rest of the society. By contrast, Social Formation in Dhaka, 1985-2005 analyses urbanisation and urban society in a holistic manner, connecting the poor with the non-poor and delineating the change agents of the city. As the first longitudinal study of the social structure of any Third World Megacity, this book will be of interest to urban sociologists, policy-makers, NGOS, and researchers engaged in understanding the development in cities in the global south.
