Urban Policy News
 
Urban Policy News:

Urban policy is the sometimes-political, sometimes-professional, and official response to urban problems and opportunities. In an ideal world it is a response tailored to local issues and local circumstances, and prepared in the context of an holistic strategic plan. On infrequent occassions, however, it can reflect a novel idea from a not-quite-compatible location, prepared in isolation (no integrated strategic context or understanding of causal issues), redirected through misunderstandings, over-consultation and political interests, and finally presented to the public in a glossily packaged program which isn't funded during the next year. Cynicism aside... Policies must fit within holistic and coherent strategic plans, and be integrated with a range of other complementary policies to address the multitude of urban issues effectively and in context.
