Community Planning and Development Challenges: Energy, Environment, Water. Appendix D

摘要

This appendix presents 12 papers delivered at the 1980 Fourth Annual Conference of the International New Towns Association (INTA). Two papers consider energy and environmental factors involved in planning transportation for new towns, particularly in Japan and Nairobi, Kenya. One paper calls for a program of ''capacity sharing'' among nations and argues that INTA should play a strong role in this effort by disseminating knowledge about zoning, building codes, and the impact of regulation on urban growth. Another presentation argues that in order to solve transportation problems in a cost - effective way, land use and transportation must be coordinated. A Brazilian paper discusses relationships between urban structure and the use and conservation of energy. In addition, two papers focus on alternative energy technologies in Mexico and France. Two discussions of Egypt examine site selection for settlements in arid zones and new growth outside the narrow Nile Valley. A description of Dodoma, the capital of Tanzania, and of the plan for its phased growth precede another paper which concludes that new technology and better methds of planning and management must occur to conserve energy, water, and the environment. A final paper recommends a policy of national decentralization in developing countries that are experiencing ''hyper - urbanization.'' Tables, diagrams, and maps are provided in some of the papers.
