The starting point of Planning through Projects is the diversity of historical, political, socio-economic and environmental factors that affect the urban realities of each city. The book shows how the shift from master planning to strategic planning through large urban projects is a worldwide process affecting all countries, and it highlights the impact that such large projects have on urban governance. A theoretical introduction is followed by 30 city cases, considering the socio-economic and environmental context, and the plans and strategies implemented: Beijing, Bilbao, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Caracas, Córdoba, Daegu, Fukuoka, Glasgow, Hsinchu, La Plata, Liverpool, Lusaka, Mexico City, Montevideo, Ningbo, Panama, Paris, Pretoria, Rio de Janeiro, Rotterdam, Santiago, San Salvador, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Shanghai, Taipei, The Hague, Tokyo, and Valparaíso. The global scope, the combination of theory and practice, and the many examples, plans and illustrations make this book an excellent reference for teachers, students and professionals working in urban planning and management.

This text introduces the theory and practice involved in the design and management of technically oriented projects. It guides students through a four-phase systematic approach to project evolution - Concept, Study, Design, and Implementation - and a real-world case study emphasizes practical aspects of the project phases. An exploration of systematic management-documentation, documentation and interaction, and modeling complete this treatment and provide the balance needed for successful complex project completion. *NEW-Coverage of budgets, tasks, and schedules. Assists students in providing an efficient, useful, and cost-effective product, process, or service. *NEW-Updated technology information, provides students with software references to complement text material. *NEW-Case study sketches, gives students visual descriptions related to the practical example of systematic theory. *Distinct four-phase project approach.

In an era of expanded responsibility and constricted funding, museum personnel often need strong practical guidance on the best practices for building projects. The authors of Planning Successful Museum Building Projects discuss the reasons for undertaking building projects (new construction, renovation, expansion), the roles and responsibilities of key players, the importance of a strong vision, and the best methods for selecting architects and construction firms. They also offer in-depth information about budgeting and finance, feasibility studies, capital campaigns, marketing, and communications, as well as advice on how to live through the disorienting process of construction, manage post-opening needs, and evaluate the project's success over time. Planning Successful Museum Building Projects provides all the tools for successfully managing projects from predesign through opening and beyond.

Successful projects are the basis for a successful company, but many professionals lack the basic skills required to accomplish this. The IChemE Project Management Subject Group has recognized the need to provide resources to deliver these skills, and has developed a series of books to share the latest best practice – engineering essentials. This second title, though primarily written from the perspective of engineering projects within the process industries, is generic enough to support project managers in many other disciplines. It provides for those starting out in project management, is ideal for students as a university textbook, and is also an indispensable reference for established project managers.

This practical guide to facilitating planning meetings will enable you to effectively jump-start your projects and lead to success. Rigorous planning is vital to your project execution and success. Projects are often multifunctional, requiring input from various stakeholders. Project planning often tends to be done piecemeal or not at all, often leading to missing and/or incomplete information and correspondingly poor results. This book will show you how to do it right. How to Facilitate Productive Project Planning Meetings is a guide to help you plan your projects by showing you how to effectively facilitate productive face-to-face kickoff sessions (both in person and virtual) and ongoing planning meetings. Effective planning meetings will help you not only develop key artifacts but also provide continuous team building. You’ll also learn about the impacts of culture (organizational and global) on team dynamics and discover methods to ameliorate these impacts. A case study of building a sustainable house will help you understand the concepts and grasp the terminology. The book will also feature dozens of illustrative stories (from the authors as well as other practicing project managers) that will illustrate meeting techniques that went well (or not so well). Numerous templates, sample schedules, and checklists round out the value of this book in helping you facilitate effective meetings.
