Strategic planning and management: new tasks for the 1990s
Abstract
A plea for the reintroduction of long-term strategic planning at all levels of government. In creating such a system seven basic principles should be respected. First, any proposal for land development should seek maximum benefit and overall value; second, a recognition that certain pieces of land have intrinsic value, for example as a natural habitat; third, matching land use with other uses; fourth, valueing land according to realistic criteria; fifth, recognising and promoting regional diversity; sixth, avoiding irreversible damage; and seventh, adopting the principles of sustainable development. -A.Gilg
Traditional approaches to metropolitan management have placed stress upon the achievement of physical and economic growth. In recent years attention has turned to environmental concerns and the achievement of sustainable urban development. It is important to define the objectives for the sustainable development of cities and to identify the principles upon which such development can be based.
This paper examines the rationale underlying the ‘strategic approach’ to the prevention and reclamation of derelict land proposed in research recently published by the Department of the Environment. It outlines the main features and the processes involved in this approach and indicates the form and content of the documentation which might accompany its adoption. The paper focuses upon the tasks involved in the preparation of strategies for derelict land but the principles it examines will have wider application in other policy fields. It concludes with an examination of the practical problems which the adoption of a strategic approach may entail and the ways in which it would enhance the activities of the recently announced Urban Regeneration Agency for England.
