Inhaltsangabe

Regional planning aims to envision a better future for a region and proposes policies to achieve a desired vision of regional development. It encompasses various aspects of the human and biophysical environments, covering extensive geographical areas or jurisdictions with identifiable common characteristics. In this regard, this book offers a state-of-the-art examination of how contemporary regional planning challenges are addressed globally. It includes contributions from leading researchers and scholars in the field of regional planning from Canada, the USA, Israel, Indonesia, Turkey, and Norway. Based on empirical research, the book discusses a variety of topics, including how the relocation of Indonesia’s capital city could potentially resolve the country’s longstanding regional inequities and multidimensional conflicts; the intricacies of planning in contested cities and the dual role of urban planning in conflict resolution; how regional planning balances local autonomy and regional objectives; river basin development as a sustainable planning strategy for a port city; and positioning the Arctic landscape regions in the global system of growth and development. The book is insightful, thought-provoking, and easy to understand. It could serve as an essential reference material on contemporary regional planning for students, planners, NGOs, government officials and international institutions interested in regional development planning.
