Alternative Planning and Land Administration for Future Smart Cities [Leading Edge]

Abstract

The long-term planning approach with its central aim of changing the urban form using zoning regulations and improving transportation may no longer be the only conceivable solution. Participants in planning and land development processes formulating plans today are predominantly land developers, entrepreneurs, and landlords. However, community groups are increasingly active participants, providing a counterbalance to the profit-driven agenda of corporations. Explores that landscape for current smart city development.
