“…La influencia de los aspectos técnicos e institucionales en el planeamiento urbano suele abordarse desde al menos tres perspectivas teóricas. La primera se refiere a la clasificación de las tradiciones profesionales (EC, 1997;Healey et al, 1997b;Cullingworth & Nadin, 2011;Nadin & Stead, 2008) y a la comparación entre los sistemas de planeamiento (EC, op.cit. ;Farinós, 2006).…”

“…There may well be a direct link between such additional factors and the timing of the development construction. During post the World War II period large building programmes for residential housing took place (Cullingworth & Nadin, 2006). In Worcester and elsewhere in the UK these developments are often seen to be of less desirable quality (Son & Kearns, 1998).…”

Between 2004 and 2008 the city of Worcester, UK experienced a number of pluvial flood events. The causes of this kind of flooding are the topic of ongoing research. This paper describes a study that aimed to investigate the urban development of Worcester over time in relation to the location of recorded pluvial flood incidents. A novel rapid mapping method has been developed to derive urban development over five time periods between 1886 and 1995 from scanned Ordnance Survey historical maps. The technique compared well with manual digitisation results with k-hat values ranging from 0.67 to 0.87 for the land use maps created for different time periods. The technique performed least well for the oldest map series, due to misclassification of the abundant symbols and annotation. The method will be particularly beneficial for investigation of town/city development in time over large areas. The resulting map of urban development in Worcester (scale 1:20,000) shows that almost half of the recorded pluvial flood incidents occurred in areas developed between 1956 and 1975, which contradicts local belief that an outdated (Victorian) drainage system causes most of the problems. The quality of the post World War II developments is more likely to be a source for concern.

“…A Community Development Corporation (CDC) is a nonprofit corporation serving an area that is economically disadvantaged. CDCs major topic is housing, although CDCs demonstrated capability to develop and deliver programs on small businesses, training, child care ( [13]: 199). In the State of Massachusetts, CDCs are regulated under the Chapter 40 section 2.…”

Abstract. The paper aims at investigating how different approaches in the interaction among public institutions, (local) entrepreneurs and communities lead to better perform effective urban regeneration processes. At this aim, purposely selected urban regeneration programs undertaken in some neighbourhoods of Boston are discussed against a conceptual frame drawn from the civic economics theory, trying to unveil the potential of innovative forms of multiple actors' partnerships acting together to achieve urban regeneration goals. The paper demonstrates how both a conceptual shift of the role of private investors in partnerships for urban regeneration, capable to incorporate traditionally public-led goals into private duties, and a conceptual shift of public and private partnerships mechanisms, capable to incorporate not exclusively market-oriented values but also the value of reciprocity, can led to achieve: a) territorial concentration, obtained through place-based, community-based organisations enacting also central policies; b) continuity over time, obtained through the overlapping actions of multiplestakeholders organisations covering different goals and areas that complement each other. Civic Economics and Urban RegenerationThe main goal of the paper is to demonstrate that innovative forms of partnerships involving public institutions, local entrepreneurs and communities can contribute to improve the outcomes, also in economic terms, of urban regeneration processes, by discussing a set of cases studies against the conceptual frame provided by the paradigm of civic economics. At this aim, purposely selected urban regeneration programs undertaken in some neighbourhoods of Boston are discussed against a conceptual frame drawn from the civic economics theory, by trying to unveil the potential of innovative forms of multiple actors' partnerships acting to achieve urban regeneration goals. The paper concludes that an added value does exist in those urban regeneration processes, that are able to activate a network of multiple stakeholders, including local entrepreneurs and communities. In so doing, it provides the larger planners and policy makers community with useful insights applicable to different international contexts.The conceptual frame implemented to discuss the role of the principal agents of urban regeneration, i.e. the market, the community and the public institutions, is drawn by the theory developed within the communitarian approach and in the public good thinking, possible alternatives to the capitalistic approach to the market economy. In the last decades a considerable numbers of economists and social policy theorists challenged the dominant intellectual paradigm in economic sciences, i.e. the capitalism. Some of them can be grouped in the communitarian wave, some others in the economics of public good one. The common root of all these movements is the question whether or not can the individual represents an adequate point of departure for the analysis of economic phenomena, lagging the community a...
