This document provides an overview of strategic planning in 3 parts. It begins by describing the shift in urban planning from master plans to more flexible strategic plans and collaborative governance. Next, it explains that strategic planning involves analyzing trends, developing scenarios and visions, and engaging stakeholders. The key elements of a strategic plan are outlined as analyzing the context, setting goals and priorities through a vision statement, and developing a flexible strategy with coordinated actions to steer toward the vision. Trigger projects are identified as important to initiate change. Examples from Bilbao, Rotterdam, and London are provided.

Strategies for Promoting Urban SustainabilityJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Presentation looks at the options of making urban areas more liveable, productive and sustainable. It includes the reduction of energy consumption through green buildings and green transport
This is a second take on a philosophical understanding of governance, from the point of view of knowledge and power. Here I try to understand the concept and what's it for using three main thinkers: Habermas, Foucault and Merleau-Ponty. While I claim that this is not cherry-picking of concepts, the truth is that there is much more to be said about governance from the point of view of knowledge formation.

Case Law Analysis - Intellectual Property
In this unit, you will select a case law pertaining to the topic of intellectual property.
Each case law analysis allows you to express yourself as clearly and fully as possible in dissecting a court decision. The purpose of the assignment is two-fold:
1. To give you the opportunity to read a real court decision.
2. To challenge you to think about how you would have decided the case. In your case law analyses, you must be able to navigate the court's decision and summarize it; you are not expected to act as a judge or an advocate.
Using your selected court decision, prepare an analysis that responds to the following:
1. Articulates the importance, context, purpose, and relevance of law in a business environment:
. Identify the parties who are before the court.
. Provide a brief background to the problem. Summarize the facts in no more than 2–3 paragraphs.
. Identify what is the specific disagreement between the parties.
. Explain the ruling of the court in no more than 1–2 paragraphs.
· Evaluates key judicial concepts that influence the decisions related to business:
. Was there a dissenting opinion? If so, explain why some of the judges or justices disagreed with the majority in the decision.
. Do you agree with the court's decision? Why or why not?
You may choose any court case, either state or federal, as the basis for your case law analysis; however, the case should be applicable to the assignment topic. The recommended Web sites for researching and locating a case are listed in the Resources area.
Your analysis should be no more than two pages, double-spaced. References and citations are to adhere to APA formatting and style guidelines. Prior to submitting your assignment, be sure to review the scoring guide to ensure you have met all of the grading criteria.
RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Community Driven Urban Design: Social Practice Tactics for
Addressing Issues of the Built Environment
ABSTRACT:
Several professionals in the field of architecture and urban design employ creative tactics focused on social impact, civic
dialogue, and grass roots placemaking. Drawing on socially responsible urban design theory, as well as principles of arts-
based civic engagement and social change, these efforts have gained momentum in the 21st century due to a variety of
economic, governmental, social and technological factors. This research capstone will include an extensive literature
review through two courses – PPPM 523 Urban Revitalization and an independent reading course on “bottom-up”
urban design with Professor Philip Speranza – as well as web-based document analysis of select case studies. The
purpose of this study is to locate these tactics within current urban redevelopment policy and arts-based community
development theory, and outline elements of best practice as a means of advancing the field of community driven urban
design.

REGIONS and THIRD PLACES - Valuing and Evaluating Creativity for Sustainable ...Christiaan Weiler
In this presentation I will try to put culture and creativity in a specific context, including theoretical references, but concentrating on a practical approach. With outcomes of an action-research project three connected hypothesis are proposed. To complement the otherwise rather limited quantitative data for this relatively new subject, a collaborative methodology is proposed, that will help contextualize the work and directly engage stakeholders in the process.
To stay close to the title of the conference, I will focus on the elements concerning culture and creativity. Giving a purpose to culture and creativity can allow us to concentrate on what it does rather than what it is. The presented research project (still in search of funding...) positions culture in a strategic role for collaborative processes, and proposes the creative stance, as an alternative to the critical stance, for innovative governance and planning development.

Despiste the provocative title, this lecture delivers an account of how the idea of Active Citizenship has evolved in history and how this idea is related to the Right to the City. True citizen participation has the potential to deliver the right to the city. In this lecture, I explore a very old line of thought that goes from Aristotle and Plato, to Rousseau, Hannah Arendt, Henri Lefebvre and David Harvey, all of whom affirm the power of active or engaged citizenship in shaping the city while simultaneously shaping us.

Why discuss Spatial Justice in Urbanism studies?
In this text, I discuss why it is crucial to include justice as a parameter to evaluate plans, projects and designs and suggest some criteria.
This is a text I wrote for the ATLANTIS magazine, the magazine edited by the students of the Department of Urbanism of the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), where I work as an Assistant Professor at the Group of Spatial Planning and Strategy.

What is Urbanism at TU Delft ? (v. 2016)Roberto Rocco
This is a presentation where I introduce basic ideas on what is Urbanism at TU Delft and how it is taught. This presentation cannot be seen as the official view of the university on the subject. It is my interpretation of the course and reflects my understanding of the integration of the human sciences, the physical sciences and most particularly DESIGN in the course given at TU Delft. In this presentation, I take special care of explaining what are "objectives" of urbanism, so as to give prospective students a good notion of the tasks ahead.
Points of reflection for ethics in urbanism Roberto Rocco
This is a list of issues in Urbanism where ethical judgment plays a crucial role. We have elaborated this list with TU Delft students of Urbanism in mind. These are points students have asked us about, or points we’ve noticed students struggling with. This list does not tell you what to do. It invites you to reflect on issues where ethical judgment is necessary.
The TU Delft puts the highest importance on issues of ethics. And in fact, in order to form “good urbanists”, we need to provide them with knowledge and skills, but we also need to discuss ethical values. In fact, we recognize the importance of forming critical minds, which will be able to solve complex problems in the real world: minds that are able to investigate issues concerning the built environment and society, reflect upon them, communicate results clearly and articulate solutions among different stakeholders. These are activities that involve moral judgments and accountability towards the public.
Learning from Darwin: What can the man who wrote The Origin of Species teach ...Roberto Rocco
‘On the Origin of Species’ was published on 24 November 1859. It is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin, and it is considered the foundation of evolutionary biology. In this text, we read the INTRODUCTION to The Origin of Species and highlight aspects of the text that are relevant for us to understand a scientific attitude and how to translate this attitude into text. This exercise is intended to Urbanism students who are unsure about the tone and the kind of language they met adopt in scientific reports. The text we are about to analyse was written in the second half of the 19th century, but it is still incredibly modern and actual. Read the text carefully and reflect on the comments. What can you incorporate into your essays and reports?
Evaluation criteria for Urbanism based on Sustainability and Spatial JusticeRoberto Rocco
What if we could evaluate projects, plans and designs using an enhanced concept of sustainability? “For sustainability to occur, it must occur simultaneously in each of its three dimensions” (economic, social and environmental) Larsen, 2012. These three crucial and necessary dimensions of sustainability are, each of them, connected to big traditions of study and analysis that must be integrated. My claim here is that this enhanced concept of sustainability help us derive solid criteria to evaluate plans, project and designs in Urbanism through the idea of Spatial Justice, and to connect this evaluation to larger academic traditions.
In this presentation, you will find the elements of a research project, as it is understood in the Master in Urbanism of the TU Delft. This is an adaptation of classical ways of organising a research project.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

7. Point of Departure:
Space is Socially Produced
Spatial planning deals with ‘inhabited’ space: a space of frictions but also a space of shared societal goals
8. Roots of Urbanism: Main
concerns
Hygiene/ Health
Separation of activities
Beauty/ grandeur/ monumentality/
representation of power
Circulation/ accessibility (first
connected to control and
military purposes)
Mobility (car/tram/train) and the
Fordist mode of production
9. But lately, there is a
radical change in how
we approach urban
development
10. URBANISM
Broadly, urbanism focuses on
INHABITED SPACES.
It focuses on how people,
structures and activities are
distributed over space (a territory)
and how they are articulated by
spaces, structures and
infrastructures, as well as rules.
Because the task of URBANISM is
very complex, the SCOPE of the
discipline is very wide.
11. A very wide scope

14. So?
Spatial planning deals
with ‘inhabited’ space
This is a space of social
friction but also a space
of shared societal goals

16. Peter Hall’s sending a man to the moon X planning and designing a
city
What’s so
different?
19. Because it is all about
people and how they use
space, we need to have
an ethical attitude
(social responsibility)

20. Ethics
The field of ethics (or
moral philosophy)
involves systematising,
defending, and
recommending concepts
of right and wrong
behaviour.
See more about ethics at the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy at http://
www.iep.utm.edu/ethics/ (this is a peer-reviewed resource, not Wikipedia. But the
article at Wikipedia is not bad! If you want to understand the point being made at the
lecture, albeit in a very simplified way, please have a look at “applied ethics”)
21. Increasing complexity
✤
✤
The increasing complexity of
living environments results in
increasingly complex research
paradigms.
After all, there are new tools for
analysis, new combinations of
disciplines and new QUESTIONS
that need to be answered.
22. Increasing complexity
The increasing complexity of
research paradigms in
urbanism results in the
perception that a practical
education on design skills
alone is insufficient to deal
with the broader task at
hand:
23. The broader task at hand
To understand the context,
the role and wishes of
stakeholders and the sociopolitical forces that
ultimately produce ‘real
world’ space in order to be
able to intervene
effectively.
34. The nature of Urbanism
The stretched scope of
urbanism, with its large range
of inputs drawn from various
disciplines, demands another
approach by urban planners
and designers, where
communication and negotiation
have a more central role.
39. In many fields
A strategy is a long term plan of
action designed to achieve a
particular goal.
Strategy applies to many different fields, such as:
*Military strategy*Marketing strategies*Strategic
management*Football strategy*Game theoretical
strategy*Economic strategy* etc.
41. Origins of Strategic
Planning
1920: Harvard Business School: New
Policy Model for Businesses: emphasis on
organisational policy and structure
1950s: emphasis on risk, growth and
competitiveness: strategic decisions
derive from analyses of competitive power
relationships
Mid 1980s: leakage into the public sector
and public management ▶ “run the
government like business” ► city
competitiveness ▶strategic planning
42. In the 1980s and 90s
Rapid Transition
From Land Use Planning to Strategic
Planning
&
From Hard Planning to ‘Soft Planning’
&
From ‘master plans’ to ‘Strategic Plans’
&
From ‘Zones’ to ‘Networks’
&
from ‘government’ to ‘governance’
46. Today: A new Paradigm
Strategic Planning today is
based on social and
environmental sustainability
and global awareness
✤Planning is an instrument to
increase participation and
strengthen societal
cohesion.

48. New Emphasis in Strategic
Planning
SYNERGY +
PARTICIPATION
Strategic urban planning is a
process that allows the
articulation of the initiatives of
public and private stakeholders
which seek synergies for the
development of a city.
(Source: Steinberg, 2003)
49. TODAY Strategic Planning is
about…
1. A tool for local development which
conceives strategic interventions that
guarantee the quality of life, and economic
and social progress
2. A mechanism to promote progressive forms
of governance, substantially improving
local democracy through collaboration
between public and private urban
stakeholders
3. A modern, participatory and democratic
form of thinking about urban development
which allows the establishment of
references for all economic and social
actors
4. A new instrument which facilitates the
management of a city in a period of
frequent and substantial changes (various
sources)
50. So what is ‘Strategic
Planning’?
Long-term plans based on overall
objectives. Strategic plans are typically
long term plans that use Scenarios and
Visions in order to:
Test Assumptions
✤Set Specific Goals
✤Investigate Strengths
✤Examine Weaknesses
✤Check Risks
✤
Generally, strategic planning involves continuous/
periodical/reassessment of these aspects

62. The scenario
The ‘scenario’ (perspective) is
“a plausible description of
how the future may develop,
based on a coherent and
internally consistent set of
assumptions about key
relationships and driving
forces” (Watson et al., 1996)
64. The VISION
In the Dutch language, the use
of the word ‘visie’ (vision)
refers to a vsualization of
one or various desirable
aspects of ‘scenarios’.
The ‘vision’ is an ‘image of the
future’ which articulates an
individual’s or group's
values, ideals, and goals.
65. But what do I need to
do to get there?
The
STRATEGY!
66. The STRATEGY is...
a flexible set of steps and
actions taken over a certain
time frame, within the
.
framework of a desirable
VISION, used in order to
fulfil the achievement of
societal goals connected to
the organisation of space
67. In other words, A strategy
is...
composed by several actions
and interventions laid down
in a time frame (short term/
middle term/ long term)
which will probably lead
you to the most desirable
outcome within the
constraints given
68. But…
But the vision (the
objective) is likely to
change over time. Moreover,
we cannot control all
factors, so the role of the
strategy is to STEER
towards a desirable overall
outcome, rather than FIX a
precise objective.
69. In spatial planning
The steps are represented
by ACTIONS and
INTERVENTIONS, many
times in the form of
PROJECTS or DESIGNS, but
also in the form of
policies
70. Steps or Co-ordinated
Actions
These steps and actions must
have ‘strategic value’; they
must be part of a systematic
plan. In other words, each step
or action must be part of a
coherent and co-ordinated
strategy designed to achieve
those goals.
71. Flexible sequence of steps
Therefore, strategic planning
involves a flexible sequence of
steps and co-ordinated
processes, rather than a rigid
set of actions towards a strict
target. In strategic planning,
once each step is completed, the
whole strategy is re-evaluated
and the targets are readjusted.
72. Not all steps are the same
Some steps (projects) are more
important than others.
Some steps are ESSENTIAL for the
strategy, other support the
strategy but are not ESSENTIAL
One or more steps are the
TRIGGERS of change (after all,
you need to give the first step. If it
is a good one, others will follow
and you will mobilize support

82. STEP 1: Analysis/ Research:
Problem Statement
1. Analysis:
The analysis of the political, social,
economic and technical
environment and
The consideration of various driving
forces in the environment
considered (for example,
increasing complexity of flows,
technological advancements,
changing demographics, etc.).
83. STEP 1: Analysis/ Research:
Problem Statement
Planners also look at the various
Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats (the SWOT
analysis) regarding the position of a
region or a city (McNamara, 2000).
The analysis helps building up possible
‘scenarios’ (a description of possible
developments) which will ground the
‘vision’ (the societal aspirations).
84. STEP 3: SCENARIOS► Vision
1. Planners come to conclusions
about possible scenarios and
desirable visions.
2. Typically, scenarios can be
very different from one
another. Sometimes, planners
make use of opposite scenarios
or extreme scenarios in order
to establish strategic goals.
85. STEP 2: SCENARIOS► Vision
1. Planners work with various possible
and desirable scenarios in order to
talk to several stakeholders and find
out what are their wishes and
objectives and to ENGAGE them in the
process.
2. By engaging stakeholders you warrant
support (political/economic/) to your
strategy later on.
3. You also deal with real world forces
that will effectively support or
benefit from your strategy.
86. STEP 4: VISION▶Strategy
The ‘vision statement’ should be designed
and explained in full detail.
It is usually an inspiring and compelling
description of the benefits society will
draw from the overall plan, and it is often
used to engage support and participation
among different actors in society.
In order to be effective, the vision statement
must be specific, measurable and realistic;
and it must contain a detailed explanation
of the strategic goals (steps) used in
order to achieve it.
87. STEP 4: VISION▶ Strategy
Setting a clear vision is important to
engage different stakeholders in a
process called ‘participatory
planning’.
Very shortly put, participatory planning
concerns the participation of various
stakeholders at the establishment or
reformulation of the vision and the
elaboration of the strategy.
92. London Olympic legacy
Olympic Legacy London [UK]
The Olympic Legacy Masterplan can be considered as one
of the biggest London’s redevelopment projects from
the last decades; it consists on the redevelopment of
the Olympic Park and Lea Vally, after the 2012 Summer
Olympic Games.
KCAP’s vision for the Legacy is based on an urban mosaic structure that develops on a flexible way, from
time to time. The mosaic will become an organism, concentrations of social groups and functional differentiations, an overlapping archipelago of social and
urban islands. The ‘open city’ will emerge through the
interaction, cross-fertilization and friction among
these groups and networks, which leads to the emergence of new architecture, networks and urban cultures.

95. STEP 5: Strategic goals
Strategic goals are
overall accomplishments
or steps in a general plan
that must be accomplished
in order to arrive at the
VISION (but the objectives
change along the way!)
96. STEP 6 : Spatial
Interventions
Spatial Planning means laying out how the
strategic goals will be accomplished in
order to arrive at the ‘vision’ using spatial
interventions.
Spatial interventions can be part of a broader
strategy which involves other tools (nonspatial strategies and interventions) for
the achievement of the vision.
However, it is the specific task of spatial
planners to plan and design space. Spatial
interventions are therefore a crucial
part of any spatial planning strategy.

LONDON
•
The future of eight out of eight retained
Olympic Park venues has been secured within one
year of the Games.
•
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is re-opening to
the public between summer 2013 and spring 2014.
•
iCity has been confirmed as the occupier of the
Press and Broadcast Centre with tenants including
BT Sport, Loughborough University and Infinity.
•
£6.5 billion of transport investment has
supported development across London.
•
11,000 homes are planned and more than 10,000
jobs will be created on the Park – conversion of
the Athletes’ Village into homes is well advanced
and developers are preparing to start building on
Chobham Manor.

102. STEP 7 : Repositioning
Assessment and Repositioning
Strategic planning often includes
specifying intermediate
objectives, which will produce
specific midway results.
These midway results typically
imply an assessment and a
repositioning of the strategy
and sometimes also the vision
itself.
103. STEP 7 : Repositioning
Assessment and Repositioning
Thus, reaching a strategic goal
involves accomplishing a set of
objectives along the way.
Once the strategic goal is reached,
the whole strategy is assessed,
re-evaluated and then adjusted.
Spatial interventions must be
coherent and coordinated within
the framework of the overall
strategy and the vision.
104. But: What about Governance?
Planning also includes specifying
responsibilities and timelines for each
objective.
In other words: who needs to do what and
by when?
It should also include methods to monitor
and evaluate the plan:
[1] how society will control the process
[2] how different stakeholders can
participate, influence and adjust the plan
(adapted from McNamara, 2000)

120. The modulor
The Modulor is an anthropometric scale of proportions devised by the Swiss-born French architect Le Corbusier
(1887–1965).
It was developed as a visual bridge between two incompatible scales, the Imperial system and the Metric system. It is
based on the height of an English man with his arm raised. Source: wikipedia.
