Understanding the Impacts of Deregulation in Planning

Author: Ben Clifford
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030126722
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233

Book Description
In England, it has been possible since 2013 to convert an office building into residential use without needing planning permission (as has been required since 1948). This book explores the consequences of this central government driven deregulation on local communities. The policy decision was primarily about boosting the supply of housing, but reflects a broader neoliberal ideology which seeks to reform public planning in many countries to reduce perceived interference in free markets. Drawing on original research in the English local authorities of Camden, Croydon, Leeds, Leicester and Reading, the book provides a case study of the implementation of planning deregulation which demonstrates the lowering of standards in housing quality, the reduced ability of the local state to proactively steer development and plan for their places, and the transfer of wealth from the public to private spheres that has resulted. Comparative case studies from Glasgow and Rotterdam call into question the very need for the deregulation in the first place.

Book Description
Treeland is an imaginary land in an imaginary era. It is populated by a jolly people that love two things above everything else: laughter and trees, hence, Treeland: The Land of Laughter. Between peals of laughter Treelanders tend their trees and forests with loving care. They never cut down trees, or act in any way that would destroy their natural environment. As Treeland’s warrior King Majabe nears 100 years and despite his smiling and laughing face, he is worried for not having a male heir. He has a willful, assertive, charming and very beautiful daughter, Princess Zuri, but in Treeland, daughters are not expected to reign. Zuri must marry so her husband could become the heir to her father’s throne. But she has no intention of marrying any suitor chosen for her. A struggle of wills and wits ensues between Zuri and her father and the age old patriarchal traditions that he represents. In the midst of this struggle, Treeland is attacked by a tree-cutting people with no veneration for either tree or human life. Will Old King Majabe manage to save his Kingdom? Will Zuri survive the coming ordeals imposed by war and an arcane tradition and ascend Treeland’s throne? This tale is at once traditional and current, conventional and unconventional, modern and post-modern, existential but optimistic. Treeland: The Land of Laughter is a novel intended for young people, but readers of all ages will also enjoy it.

A Twenty-First-Century Psalter

Author: Sherryl Brown
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1645690997
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 192

Book Description
This volume is structurally similar to the 150 ancient songs of the Bible attributed to King David. However, the content is based on modern thought in the continuing quest for spiritual enlightenment. The songs turn away from revenge and fear giving today's reader a contemporary approach to sustaining their faith. Each stanza was written as a prayer, or a plea to God, not just for mercy for us, but for strength to be merciful to others. Just as the twenty-third psalm comforts us in our grief, so do these psalms show us a pathway to healing when death robs us of those we love. Each song has been written from a theme that was chosen for its relevance.
