With rapid urbanization defining the 21st Century, cities face mounting challenges in achieving sustainability, equity, and functionality. This book explores how innovative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) can transform urban development by offering intelligent, data-driven solutions. LLMs go beyond automation, acting as co-creators in addressing environmental sustainability, resource management, and equitable development. By analyzing regulations, best practices, and real-time data on phenomena such as air pollution and traffic, these models empower urban planners to design smarter, more sustainable cities while fostering collaboration across disciplines.
Challenges to Urban Democratic Governance in Zimbabwe The Case of the Appointment of Special Interest Councillors in Urban Lo
Free Download Challenges to Urban Democratic Governance in Zimbabwe : The Case of the Appointment of Special Interest Councillors in Urban Local Councils By Jephias Mapuva
2014 | 130 Pages | ISBN: 1443863181 | PDF | 1 MB
Challenges to Urban Democratic Governance in Zimbabwe is a result of a study on urban governance in Zimbabwe focusing particularly on local councils and how special interest councillors are appointed by the Minister responsible for local government. The book establishes the extent to which the practice of appointing special interest councillors in terms of section 4 A of the Zimbabwe Urban Councils' Act (2008) promotes, or hinders, democratic urban governance. The text investigates various different legislative instruments in order to present a normative framework on the best practices in democratic urban governance. A cross section of 20 urban councils was studied to establish a suitable level of accountability and consistency, as well as to provide an understanding of transparency in the appointment of special interest councillors. Among the findings of this book, it is noted that there is a high level of partisanship in the appointment of special interest councillors, especially of those who have lost in the local government elections but belong to the same political party as the Minister of Local Government, who, in this case, is empowered by law to make such appointments.

Planning for Equitable Urban Agriculture in the United States Future Directions for a New Ethic in City Building
Free Download Samina Raja, "Planning for Equitable Urban Agriculture in the United States: Future Directions for a New Ethic in City Building"
English | ISBN: 3031320786 | 2025 | 597 pages | EPUB | 11 MB
This open access book, building on the legacy of food systems scholar and advocate, Jerome Kaufman, examines the potential and pitfalls of planning for urban agriculture (UA) in the United States, especially in how questions of ethics and equity are addressed. The book is organized into six sections. Written by a team of scholars and practitioners, the book covers a comprehensive array of topics ranging from theory to practice of planning for equitable urban agriculture. Section 1 makes the case for re-imagining agriculture as central to urban landscapes, and unpacks why, how, and when planning should support UA, and more broadly food systems. Section 2, written by early career and seasoned scholars, provides a theoretical foundation for the book. Section 3, written by teams of scholars and community partners, examines how civic agriculture is unfolding across urban landscapes, led largely by community organizations. Section 4, written by planning practitionersand scholars, documents local government planning tied to urban agriculture, focusing especially on how they address questions of equity. Section 5 explores UA as a locus of pedagogy of equity. Section 6 places the UA movement in the US within a global context, and concludes with ideas and challenges for the future. The book concludes with a call for planning as public nurturance - an approach that can be illustrated through urban agriculture. Planning as public nurturance is a value-explicit process that centers an ethics of care, especially protecting the interests of publics that are marginalized. It builds the capacity of marginalized groups to authentically co-design and participate in planning/policy processes. Such a planning approach requires that progress toward equitable outcomes is consistently evaluated through accountability measures. And, finally, such an approach requires attention to structural and institutional inequities. Addressing these four elements is more likelyto create a condition under which urban agriculture may be used as a lever in the planning and development of more just and equitable cities.
