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.

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.

Purpose In spite of the active role of continuous learning on improving organisational performance, the construction industry generally and architectural design firms (ADFs) in particular are criticised for their inability to use organisational knowledge to foster learning culture towards enhancing their performance. This paper aims to develop a framework based on knowledge management (KM) to enhance the learning culture in ADFs in developing countries. Design/methodology/approach To achieve the abovementioned aim, a research methodology consisted of data collection, data analysis and action required is designed to achieve four objectives. First, to examine the nature of the construction industry in developing countries, learning culture in ADFs, as well as knowledge and KM; second, to present three case studies to investigate the effectiveness of KM in enhancing the learning culture in ADFs; third, to investigate the perception and application of KM towards enhancing the learning culture in ADFs in Egypt, finally to develop a KM based framework to enhance the learning culture in ADFs in developing countries. Findings Through literature review, the research highlighted the fragmented nature of the architectural design process, which led to the loss of valuable information and made the process of capturing and sharing knowledge a hard task. In addition, it identified the barriers of implementing KM and the building blocks of learning culture in ADFs. Results of data analysis showed that “lack of organisational culture” and “low involvement of top management” were ranked the highest barriers for implementing KM in ADFs. Moreover, respondents mentioned that they do not share openly their information with other employees to maintain their uniqueness and that the strict working environment of their ADFs is not encouraging creativity or enhancing learning culture. Furthermore, “continuous learning and enhancement” and “experimentation, feedback and reflection” were ranked by respondents as the highest building blocks of a learning organisation. Research limitations/implications This research focussed on ADFs in developing countries. Practical implications Implementing KM strategies will facilitate the enhancement of learning culture within ADFs in developing countries. This will impact positively on improving the performance and increasing the competitiveness and market share of ADFS. Originality/value The research identified the barriers of KM implementation in ADFs and the building blocks of creating a learning organisations. It focusses on improving the performance of ADFs through using the capabilities of KM towards building learning culture in ADFs. The proposed framework which was designed to facilitate the implementation of KM for enhancing the learning culture in ADFs in developing countries represents a synthesis that is novel and creative in thought and adds value to the knowledge in a manner that has not previously occurred.

Set Up

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.
