Effective urban planning through a - Process-oriented approach

Abstract: My point in this essay has been to look beyond the regulations governing urban develop-ment - this by focusing on how the laws are interpreted and translated into physical action. Is there room for a more effective organization of urban development? By studying how Nacka municipality in Stockholm County has organized its urban con-struction process has three distinct areas with scope for efficiency improvements been identified. The political role in urban development  Increased public dialogue at an early stage in urban development process.  Focus political control towards this vision, the early stages and conceptual planning of urban construction.  Reduce the number of political detail decisions during the planning process. Purify the division of responsibility between management and policy. Urban planning as a process  City development is a process, with several stages. This should be reflected in the planning organization and management.  The vision phase before the formal planning process begins and management stage after the implementation stage ends should be more closely integrated into the ur-ban planning process. Knowledge management in urban development  Ensure that the right conditions are organizationally for a structured experience- reversal work - regarding quality and IT support, resources, incentives, and under-standing of the importance of the individual to the whole.
