This volume presents a summary of the latest academic conference on urban and regional planning, which took place at the Technical University Berlin in March 2019. The conference addressed current demands in urban development with regard to the creation of building land and its legal requirements. In the past years, we have seen a growing demand to establish building land, especially for the provision of housing. Here, unplanned inner-areas have a particular importance. Through procedural simplifications, German legislators are trying to incentivise municipalities to set up, modify or complement land-use plans. Delimitation problems between the planning instruments themselves and their scope are currently a problem for both investors and municipalities. These conference proceedings are intended to help practitioners who are dealing with the new regulations. With contributions by Prof. Dr. Michael Krautzberger, Prof. Dr. Alexander Schink, Dr.-Ing.

This volume presents a summary of the latest academic conference on urban and regional planning which took place at the Technical University in Berlin. The conference addressed current demands on the project-related binding land-use plan, the preparations for the plan and its legal requirements. Since the implementation of this type of plan after German Reunification, its impact on municipal development has risen. This book focuses on the specifications of this type of plan, its contract design, regulations with regard to environmental assessment as well as the project developer’s liabilities. Furthermore, it discusses the plan’s similarities and differences to other common binding land-use plans. With contributions by Dipl. sc. pol. Univ. Matthias Simon, LL.M., Prof. Dr. Arno Bunzel, Dr. Gernot Schiller, Prof. Dr. jur. Christian-W. Otto, Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil.

Over the past 200 years, the population of the United States grew more than 40-fold. The resulting development of the built environment has had a profound impact on the regional economic, demographic, and environmental structure of North America. Unfortunately, constraints on data availability limit opportunities to study long-term development patterns and how population growth relates to land-use change. Using hundreds of millions of property records, we undertake the finest-resolution analysis to date, in space and time, of urbanization patterns from 1810 to 2015. Temporally consistent metrics reveal distinct long-term urban development patterns characterizing processes such as settlement expansion and densification at fine granularity. Furthermore, we demonstrate that these settlement measures are robust proxies for population throughout the record and thus potential surrogates for estimating population changes at fine scales. These new insights and data vastly expand opportunities to study land use, population change, and urbanization over the past two centuries.

A buildout analysis is an important methodology in land-use planning. The GIS technicalities of doing a buildout analysis tend to be the purview of professionals with a background in geographical sciences. However, it is argued that planners ought to be able to conduct buildout analysis in order to develop a better understanding of how land-use patterns could change sustainably over time depending on a community’s regulatory environment and pace of development. A state buildout analysis is compared and contrasted with buildouts conducted for two local jurisdictions on the opposite ends of Massachusetts: the towns of Amherst and Georgetown. The town of Amherst’s computations identified lower values of developable and new commercial/industrial land and 1,878 more new dwelling units than the state-led planning initiative three years earlier. In the case of Georgetown, the UMass Amherst planning consultancy identified lower values of developable land and fewer new dwelling units and 3.5 million square feet more of new commercial/industrial land than the state-led analysis. A series of implications for teaching buildout analysis in Urban and Regional Planning studio courses is presented.

Sustainability and sustainable development have been, perhaps, the most debated yet least applied concepts in urban and regional planning in recent years. Missing in all the rhetoric on and research into sustainable development are guidelines for moving toward plans that, either incrementally or comprehensively, incorporate sustainable objectives and the steps necessary to implement them. An approach is outlined for developing measures and steps to transform a traditional community-based comprehensive land use and transportation plan into one incorporating sustainable development objectives and measures. Traditional objectives of comprehensive land use and transportation planning are identified and linked to their sustainability equivalents. Four elements are discussed: land use, transportation, environmental factors, and economic development. A four-step, dynamic process is described for implementing the model and transforming the plan objectives, its implementation, and its measures of success. A tool for strategically assessing the political climate for change is included to assist planners in identifying an acceptable scale of movement toward sustainability. In conclusion, the elements presented provide a strategy and tools for moving forward in adopting sustainability as a local objective for land use and transportation planning.
