The paper presents the author's observations on some of the considerations that should go into preparing a port master plan. He indicates that many ports are now paying the price for not having developed master plans years ago before the advent of containerization and the new specialized types of ships coming into service. One of the primary considerations for port planners at the present time is in accommodating the public with regard to recreational facilities. Also, the restrictions being placed on ports by environmental legislation are also having a significant effect. The author emphasizes that a master planning process is a never-ending effort, since adjustments and modifications should continually be made in light of changing circumstances and technology.

In theory, shifts in institutional arrangements result in new public policies. This articles focuses on Curitiba, Brazil, an international flagship city of urban planning recognized for its technocratic government. The 2012 municipal elections and the 2013 nationwide political upheaval led to a change in the city's institutional arrangement. As a consequence, the 2014 Master Plan was conceived with the tagline of more public participation. This paper analyzes whether the changes in institutional arrangements influenced the city's planning process and the Master Plan.

The Master Plan is an important instrument to promote significant changes in Brazilian cities in order to achieve a sustainable development and create a new relationship between man and the environment. As far as this planning is concerned, the Master Plan is a basic tool to stablish guidelines to meet citizens necessities, as well as quality of life and social-economic development. For this purpose, citizens supervision and participation in local activities are necessary, so that Constitutional principles and democracy are accomplished. Civil society should be part of the decision-making process concerning enviromental public policies, as well as integrate elaboration, and supervision of these policies, taking into consideration that the public authorities, as well as the society, have to protect and defend the environment for the future generations (article 225, of the Federal Constitution). In this context, this task aims, firstly, evaluare the general guidelines od the Statute of the City (Law nº 10.257/01) and the importance of the Master Plans. Afterwards, adresses the participatory management as a way of implementing the sustainable cities.

ResumoEsta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar os planos diretores elaborados e implementados no município de Belém, Estado do Pará, com ênfase nos períodos pós-constituinte (1988), passando pelo Estatuto da Cidade (2001) e Estatuto da Metrópole (2015), para verificar se estes instrumentos públicos foram realmente utilizados pela administração pública como instrumento de gestão e planejamento ou se apenas corresponderam ao atendimento de formalidade legal, com o fim de abster-se de crime de responsabilidade na gestão pública. A pesquisa foi realizada utilizando como método, a pesquisa bibliográfica e análise documental, abrangendo a elaboração dos dois Planos Diretores do Município de Belém, aprovado sem 1993 e em 2008, destacando um recorte de três mandatos eletivos distintos. Posteriormente, realiza-se uma análise comparativa do Plano Diretor e Plano Plurianual (PPA), com a Lei de Diretrizes Orçamentárias (LDO) e a Lei do Orçamento Anual (LOA), sob a ótica da execução orçamentária no município de Belém e sua aplicabilidade nas Ações Programáticas de cada governo, abordando os aspectos do saneamento ambiental, mobilidade e acessibilidade do transporte público e habitação social urbana. Conclui-se que os Planos Diretores e os demais instrumentos públicos PPA, LDO e LOA, não guardam sintonia entre si e comprometem a sustentabilidade da gestão pública, apresentando-se desconectados frente aos Programas e Planos municipais elaborados e suas reais execuções, frente às suas disponibilidades orçamentárias. AbstractThis research aims to analyze the master plans developed and implemented in the municipality of Belém, State of Pará, with an emphasis on the post-constituent periods (1988), including the City Statute (2001) and the Metropolis Statute (2015), to verify whether these public instruments were used by the public administration as an instrument of management and planning or if they are mere legal formalities, in order to abstain from a crime of responsibility in public management. The research was carried out using bibliographic research and documentary analysis as a method, covering the elaboration of the two Urban Development Plans carried out by the Municipality of Belém in 1993 and in 2008, highlighting a section of three distinct elective mandates. Subsequently, a comparative analysis of the Master Plan and Pluriannual Plan (PPA) is performed, with the Budget Guidelines Law (LDO) and the Annual Budget Law (LOA), analyzing them from the perspective of budget execution in the municipality of Belém and its applicability in the Programmatic Actions of each government, addressing aspects of environmental sanitation, mobility and accessibility of public transport and urban social housing. It is concluded that the Master Plans and the other public instruments PPA, LDO and LOA, are not in tune with each other and compromise the sustainability of public management, presenting themselves disconnected from the Municipal Programs and Plans elaborated and their real executions, facing their budgetary availability.

Negative Impacts

Throughout much of this text to date I have suggested that the public sector needs to be doing more to plan and manage tourism to reduce its negative impacts on the marine environment. However, I have never said this would be easy and in the Preface, I outlined some of the complexities involved in the planning and management of tourism of the oceans, from the beaches and shoreline to the most remote areas of open sea. In this chapter we will explore some of these complexities and endeavour to look beyond them to see how we might try to develop a model of best practice for the future. Planning and management is obviously a wide field so I will be focusing upon three main areas of activity as follows: - The planning process for tourism including master planning of new resorts, zoning of land and sea for various uses and the system for evaluating and making decisions on proposed new developments. - The ways in which the operations of the tourism industry are managed by the public sector, including legislation and regulations and their enforcement as well as policies on infrastructure development and management. - Emergency planning and crisis management in the event of various kinds of natural disasters which is an important issue in relation to tourism.

Different forms of planning and urban design works are used in the process of decision-making on the local level, starting with visions of development, through comprehensive or master plans, finishing with the implemented action plans. Also, various kinds of social participation can be used in the process in spatial planning. The method of participation depends on the range of willingness of the local authority to divide the power and include informing, consultation or placation up to real partnership and delegation of power to citizens. Each form of participation is appropriate for a different situation. Generally, the act of using a specific form of participation in the process of creation of urban design or a planning activity is advisable. This article presents the framework of the model of participation suitable for spatial planning process on the local level. That model would be based on common consensus about the utilization of space. The consensus should be worked out in support of disclosed social and economic interests of important stakeholders from different groups of the local society and the public community as well. It is established using feedback loops on the most important steps of work as a method of gaining the best solution.

Planning Policies

Cities are changing yet planning policies are not keeping up with these changes. The migration of diverse individuals is a reality, yet planners are not considering how city building can be made more inclusive for these groups. This paper aims to answer the question, how can public engagement processes be more inclusive for immigrant and racialized communities? A literature review and analysis of policies for selected municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area is conducted and it is determined most policies and vision statements are too broad. The policies in place do not cater to immigrant and racialized groups however this can be rectified through creating engagement master plans and empowering the public to take part in the public planning process. Key Words: public engagement, diversity, immigration, racialized groups, GTA

The One

Drawing upon an analysis of Flint’s 2012–2013 master planning process, this article explores a puzzling set of questions: Why would a city under emergency management with an abrogated democratic process explicitly encourage extensive citizen participation in one of its most important and strategic documents? How does the urge to involve the community in decision-making reflect new priorities of urban governance? The paper suggests that such a paradox can be conceived as a coherent strategy for addressing conflicting priorities. On the one hand, the exigencies of official claims to democratic engagement operate during a period in which public discourse on inequality has grown in prominence. On the other, harsh fiscal constraint compels local officials and stakeholders to create the conditions for new market-led investment as the singular remedy to urban decline. The result is a transformation of the normative boundaries of the public, lauded as democratic, yet narrowly defined as those participating in highly choreographed and non-binding civic rituals. Local stakeholders, outside consultants, and city administrators generated consensus on a set of urban planning best practices deemed conducive to novel forms of growth, suggesting a transferal of authority from elected office holders to non-elected experts. This process then established the conditions under which community participation was pursued. The intertwining of technical expertise and elite decision-making, however, predetermined community input by naturalizing technocratic logics in planning policy, while signaling the post-political bent of some participatory processes in U.S. cities.
