The Equity Planner Five Tools to Facilitate Economic Development with Just Outcomes

The Equity Planner Five Tools to Facilitate Economic Development with Just Outcomes

Economic development is intended to benefit everyone in a community; however in many cases increased public and private investment can result in the pricing out and displacement of existing residents and businesses. How do we achieve more equitable outcomes? The Equity Planner provides a toolkit of practical solutions for planners and all those involved in placemaking to promote thoughtful inclusive planning. Each chapter of The Equity Planner examines one particular aspect of inequity in the urban planning sphere covering issues such as identity retention affordability and the protection and enhancement of local assets. While each chapter offers practicable solutions to these issues the Notes from the Field sections describe how these same tools have been used (either successfully or unsuccessfully) in projects the author has been involved in with a particular focus on the local resistance each project encountered. These real-world case studies are used to suggest methods to overcome such resistance which the reader can then apply to their present initiatives. This book is written for urban planners local activists social scientists policymakers and anyone with an interest in equity planning. This book will be of use to both practicing and training urban planners and architects who seek to add equity planning to their professional repertoire. | The Equity Planner Five Tools to Facilitate Economic Development with Just Outcomes

The Ethical Planning Practitioner

The Ethical Planning Practitioner

If a local college gives a city planner tickets to a sold-out football game is it wrong to take them — even if the planner pays? Should a planning consultant bid on a project that has a clearly unrealistic timeframe? Can a planning director moonlight for another agency? For practicing planners potential ethics violations abound and the eye of public scrutiny never blinks. Planners need a guide and now they have it: the first guidebook based on the current revision of the AICP (American Institute of Certified Planners) Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. The Ethical Planning Practitioner presents 76 scenarios all real-life dilemmas based on the code’s rules of conduct. Each scenario comes with tools to help planners explore the answers on their own in a training session or in a classroom. When you buy the guide through APA you get something more: a recording author Jerry Weitz FAICP made with former AICP President Dwight Merriam FAICP. Together they review three short videos talk about the ethical situations they represent and suggest the actions planners could take. The recording comes with a PowerPoint presentation that makes it a powerful teaching aid. This vital handbook looks at everyday ethics the way planners need to see them in black white and shades of gray — but most of all clearly. The Ethical Practicing Planner will not only instruct but inspire planners to strengthen the public’s trust.

The TVA Regional Planning and Development Program The Transformation of an Institution and Its Mission

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a world-renowned model for regional planning and development. Based along the Tennessee River and its series of hydro-electric power stations dams and reservoirs the TVA development program envisioned a broad regional planning program. The program focused on development opportunities and problems around the array of TVA dams and their reservoirs. It also created new 'model' towns and pioneered land-use planning bringing together federal state and local agencies farmers foresters and industrial firms to further the economic social and physical conditions of what had been one of the most seriously lagging regions of the U. S. This book is based on the memoirs and experiences of Aelred J. Gray former planner with the TVA who saw the 'big picture' and introduced much of the pioneering work of the agency. Gray worked as a staff planner at the TVA for nearly 40 years including a decade as its chief planner overseeing numerous changes and developments to the Authority's program. As well as building up the regional industrial development and the foundation of state parks he also had a strong interest in the region's cities. In the 1950s he introduced TVA's landmark Flood Prevention Program which became a national model. His review of how this innovative and influential regional development agency functioned and changed through the decades will be of value to all those interested in planning practice planning history and regional politics. | The TVA Regional Planning and Development Program The Transformation of an Institution and Its Mission

Giving Voice to Values in the Boardroom

Giving Voice to Values in the Boardroom

This book takes the central issues facing board members today and applies the giving voice to values framework while also providing insights from practicing board members who have faced these issues. It covers such topics as strategic planning and monitoring director independence privacy and cyber risk executive compensation and CEO succession planning. With this book readers will also grapple with the conflicts of interest that might arise in the director selection process role of the nominating committee and the compensation committee in order to cultivate more optimal board dynamics. The principles of giving voice to values start by asking a deceptively simple question: ‘What if you were going to act on your values—what would you say and do?’ The book then provides an overview of the current landscape of corporate governance along with the major rules and director duties applicable to the board of directors. The book’s latter chapters contain a series of five scenarios common to the board of directors that are presented as a set of “Board Challenges” involving the tensions often found in board work. In Giving Voice to Values in the Boardroom the author Cynthia E. Clark provides practical strategies for board members and other constituents of corporate governance to deal with these challenges. These cases are designed to help users of the book implement prescripting and action planning. Each case will also have discussion questions about the stakes and stakeholders common reasons and rationalizations and examples of how firms and governance professionals have handled similar board challenges.
