Boyolali as the district with the best food sovereignty in Central Java Province in 2014, it only focuses on the protection of wetland farming through the policy of Sustainable Agriculture Farm (LP2B). While dry land farming has not received special attention. Agricultural horticulture and dairy farming which is the region's superior product has not been able to provide more favorable economic value through the integration of sectors from upstream to downstream to improve the economy of the community. Starting from this issue, this article aims to propose the concept of regional development through rural agriculture. This article is based on the perspective of urban and regional planning in Cepogo, Ampel, Musuk, and Selo sub districts, which is then called Cepogo Raya Region.

Although no traction in the envisioned direction has been observed since the adoption of the concept of “metropolitan councils” in the Constitution of Zimbabwe (Amendment No. 20 of 2013), there is much potential, scope, and sense in the idea to spur urban and regional development under the impact of urbanization in the country and beyond. In the Constitution of Zimbabwe, Section 269, Harare and Bulawayo Metropolitan are the only regions due for metropolitan councils. The present study seeks to unravel three critical aspects surrounding the concept metropolitan councils as a new paradigm for urban and regional planning and development in Zimbabwe. The study is based on archival methods, which make use of existing documents including the Constitution of Zimbabwe amendment No.20, media reports, reports and plans, by local authorities, among others. Textual and content analysis have been applied to decipher and pigeonhole into different issues towards clustering them into meaningful themes, hence molding the debate of the chapter.

No âmbito da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior – CAPES constatamos uma nova realidade da pós-graduação brasileira na Área de Planejamento Urbano e Regional que se constitui, nos últimos dez anos, através do credenciamento, de programas que (i) se encontram, em sua maioria, fora dos principais centros urbanos do país e (ii) estão voltados para a temática do desenvolvimento regional e da gestão territorial. O presente trabalho procura contribuir para uma reflexão acerca de uma agenda para a formação pós-graduada comprometida social e territorialmente em vista dos desafios que significam as condições atuais que se distinguem, significativamente, daquelas que alimentavam reflexões semelhantes no início do novo milênio as quais serão recuperadas em nossa argumentação, com a proposta de retomada de uma agenda formulada por Ana Clara Torres Ribeiro em 2002.Palavras-chave: Planejamento Urbano e Regional; agenda; pós-graduação; Ana Clara Torres Ribeiro. Abstract: Within the last ten years at the Coordination of Higher Education Personnel Improvement – CAPES – appears a new reality concerning the graduate courses in the area of Urban and Regional Planning through the accreditation of programs that (i) are mostly outside Brazil’s major urban centers, (ii) which are dedicated to regional development and territorial management issues. This paper seeks to contribute to a reflection on an agenda for graduate curses committed socially and territorially in view of the challenges originated by the current conditions which differ significantly from similar reflections at the beginning of the new millennium which will be reviewed within the argument of our essay, in order to get back a brief resumption of an agenda formulated by Ana Clara Torres Ribeiro in 2002.Keywords: Urban and Regional Planning; agenda; graduate; Ana Clara Torres Ribeiro.

This article discusses the importance of measuring the greenhouse gas (GHG) effects of urban and regional planning and policy in order to develop and implement policies to reduce GHG emissions. It argues that existing local government GHG measurement methods fail to support the local governments in their evaluation of policy design and the GHG reductions resulting from their policies. The article highlights the need for a large amount of observational data, from different locations and different times, as well as for control variables in order to disentangle local policy effects from nonpolicy and extra-local effects.
