ABSTRACT This article examines the contrasting roles of county government in state and regional growth management programs in the United States, and focuses on the potential utility of citizen-inspired land-use regionalism in stimulating county home-rule and modernization efforts. Two types of county involvement in intergovernmental growth management programs are discussed--a subordinated implementation function in “top-down” state growth programs, and an empowered role in “bottom-up” regionalism wherein county governments are key participants and mediators in the formulation of regional growth policy. A case study of grassroots regionalism in Cape Cod, Massachusetts between 1988-1991 spotlights how growth concerns can provide a compelling need for county government modernization and restructuring of land use control. The article concludes by discussing the benefits and costs of citizen-inspired regionalism, and recommends that states should do more to encourage locally-formulated regional solutions.

ABSTRACT This introductory text presents a collection of articles from urban-studies journals to introduce undergraduate students to the interdisciplinary field of urban studies. The book is divided into 9 parts as follows: Part 1: Cities and Urbanism; part 2: Urban History; part 3: Urban Policy; part 4: Economic Development; part 5: Community Services and Infrastructure; part 6: Community Development; part 7: Urban Housing; part 8: Urban Growth; and part 9: Urban Education. Part 9 begins with an introduction by Jeffrey A. Raffel that acknowledges that there are no easy solutions to the problems confronting urban education. Solving the problems of urban schools relies on the solving of the demographic, economic, and social problems of urban areas. Included in Part 9 are the following: (1)"Improving Urban Schools in the Age of 'Restructuring'" (Chapter 24) (Kenneth A. Sirotnik); (2) "Visions of America in the 1990s and Beyond: Negotiating Cultural Diversity and Educational Change" (Chapter 25) (Jean J. Schensul and Thomas G. Carroll); (3) "The Evolution of a University/Inner-City School Partnership: A Case Study Account" (Chapter 26) (Andrea G. Zetlin, and others); and (4) "Race, Urban Politics, and Educational Policy Making in Washington, DC: A Community's Struggle for Quality Education" (Chapter 27) (Floyd W. Hayes, III). (SLD)

ABSTRACT Californians are afforded the opportunity to participate in the planning process and to voice their opinions to their elected officials in a variety of ways. However, for various reasons citizens have taken the opportunity to develop local legislation designed to manage or control growth. Once passed by the electorate, this legislation becomes law and must be enforced by the municipality. The use of direct democracy and ballot box planning in California is increasing and is expected to increase in the future. This paper examines how and why Californians have turned to the ballot box to decide land use matters. Examples of recent ballot measures and implications of ballot box planning are provided.

This chapter discusses the ability of new technologies to support collective intelligence. The technology trend brought into the spotlight is Web 2.0 because it has a great potential to contribute to the refined understanding of planning issues. Such an application field can be called Collective Intelligence 2.0 with crowdsourcing as its characteristic process. This chapter discusses how such an intelligence and crowd-sourced knowledge can be utilized in smartening up urban planning. Crowdsourcing has been experimented in urban planning since the late 2000s, most notably in the forms of wikiplanning, participatory sensing, and co-creation. By combining theoretical insights and empirical evidence this chapter concludes that Web 2.0 tools can be used to increase various forms of social and collective intelligence and, especially when the precondition of citizen-centered open planning culture is met, have undeniable potential to smarten up urban planning.
