“…Only the following water-related ecosystem functions have been recognized so far in planning documents: water protection zones and strips along water bodies (including special regimes for water bodies used for water supply, recreation, or fishing), groundwater production areas, and periodically flooded zones. All such designations were established back in the USSR era, and ever since the establishment, they have either been challenged (Potapova, Pshenichnikova, and Sokolova 2016) or ignored by developers (Shushnyak, Savka, and Verheles 2014;Shkaruba, Kireyeu, and Likhacheva 2017). Environmental impact assessment (EIA) and permitting requirements are consistently applied to any new piece of infrastructure (engineering and architectural designs are submitted to expert boards) (Annex 1: 4, 7, 11, online supplemental data).…”

We focused on the barriers to the implementation of enabling environments for sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. Based on interviews and desktop research, we analyzed overall framework conditions in these countries as well as implementation practices in three cities. Our findings demonstrate that the main problem was the deficit of strategic foresight for urban development. SUDS are mostly promoted by NGOs and fueled by international donors, and this represents a major barrier to their implementation, as NGOs and 'traditional' epistemic communities are often not connected. Successful examples of SUDS are missing, often due to regulatory environments forcing SUDS development teams to take suboptimal decisions. In order to be taken seriously by key stakeholders SUDS need to appear in national policy documents. Furthermore, the overall successful implementation of SUDS needs robust governance frameworks while many structural issues are direct results of governance deficits.

“…Due to their functional diversity, sustainable management of urban growth is a major challenge for urban planners and administrators. The complexity of urban ecology, social aspirations, and economic concerns have never provided a perfect solution that may lead to a sustainable urban growth policy [3]. Additionally, major environmental challenges such as climate change, resource depletion and deterioration of biodiversity have made this desire more difficult to achieve [4,5].…”

“…Traditionally, master plans, land use allocation, and functional zoning were used as the main tools for urban growth management [12]. Functional zones were used to prescribe land use characteristics and economic functions of an area, while master plans were employed to locate the future functional zone [3]. With the technological advancement, planners have adopted highly innovative and modern methods to envisage urban growth plans and assess their effectiveness.…”

“…Economically, urban areas in the world will continue to grow to deliver prosperity for its residents and businesses [124]. Due to increasingly being driven by industrial demand, investment, and population growth, urban region's economy is changing into one of high value professional services and niche manufacturing [3,118,119]. Development of new commercial and employment centre in the growing urban areas away from the city centre will reduce the travel demand from these areas to the core economic areas such as CBD.…”

“…Furthermore, the stress on the existing facilities of the cities can be minimizing if the need of housing and infrastructure demand fulfilled in efficient way. This will not only reduce the disparity among different urban areas, but also improve the economic growth of the overall region and reducing the maintenance cost of existing facilities due to overutilization [3,7,118,119].…”

Developing Policy Scenarios for Sustainable Urban Growth Management: A Delphi Approach

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In many parts of the world, a rapid urbanization process is taking place at an unprecedented scale, and its drastic impacts on societies and the environment are evident. To combat the externalities of such rapid, and to a degree uncontrolled, development, many cities around the globe introduced various urban growth management policies. However, policy making-to provide sustainable outcomes, while generating growth opportunities-has been a daunting task for urban administrators. To ease the task, scenario-based planning methods are introduced to produce alternative visions for managing urban growth in sustainable ways by incorporating various socio-environmental issues. However, even though modelling urban growth and associated impacts based on these scenarios have emerged to strengthen and quantify the future of urban policies and related planning actions, this process has a number of glitches. Major issues include the uncertainties associated with the selection of suitable methods to generate scenarios, identify indicators to be used to assess scenarios, evaluate scenarios to prioritize for policy formulation, and assess the impacts of policy scenarios. This paper aims to address the challenge of developing suitable policy scenarios for sustainable urban growth. As for the methodological approach, the study undertakes a thorough review of the literature and current practices, and conducts a two-round Delphi survey-involving experts from public, private and academic sectors specialized in the fields of urban planning, environmental planning, social planning, transportation modelling, and economic development. The expert driven policy scenarios are validated in a local context by comparing findings against the policy options as proposed in the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017 (Australia). The findings offer valuable guidelines for planners, modellers, and policy makers in adopting suitable methods, indicators, and policy priorities, and thus, easing the daunting task of generating sustainable policy solutions.
