Urban design policy can change the 'decision environment' of developers, financiers, designers and other actors in the real estate development process to make them take place-making more seriously.  \u003cp\u003eThis book reports diverse international experience from Europe and North America on the role and significance of urban design in the real estate development process and explores how higher quality development and better places can be achieved through public policy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is focused on four types of policy tool or instrument that have been deployed to promote better urban design: those that seek to shape, regulate or provide stimulus to real estate markets along with those aim to build capacity to achieve these. Urban design is therefore seen as a form of public policy that seeks to steer real estate development towards policy-shaped rather than market-led outcomes. The editors set the examples, case studies and evidence from international contributors within a substantive discussion of the impact of urban design policy tools and actions in specific development contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributions from leading urban design theorists and practitioners explore how:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMasterplanning and infrastructure provision encourage high quality design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesign codes reconcile developers' needs for certainty and flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClear policy combined with firm regulation can transform developer behaviour\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntelligent parcelisation can craft the character of successful new urban districts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePowerful real estates interests can capture regulatory initiatives\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStimulus instruments can encourage good design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelopment competitions need careful management\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesign review can foster developer commitment to design excellence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpeculative housebuilders respond in varied ways to the brownfield design challenge\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhysical-financial models could help in assessing the benefits of design investment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUrban design can add value to the benefit of developers and cities as a whole.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eSteve Tiesdell\u003c\/b\u003e, Senior Lecturer in Public Policy, Urban Studies, University of Glasgow  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Adams\u003c\/b\u003e, Ian Mactaggart Professor of Property and Urban Studies, University of Glasgow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 June 2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781405192194\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e344\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32.64\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44310651797644,"sku":"9781405192194","price":122.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781405192194.jpg?v=1780114708","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781405192194","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
