Water and the Cities: Contemporary Urban Water Resource and Related-Land Planning
Case studies of urban water resources and related land planning are presented, based on interviews with urban planners, citizens' groups, and engineering consultants, and on current planning documents from each city. Water quality management, waterfront land use, water-related recreation and open space, and metropolitan growth are identified as critical problem-areas in planning the interactions of urban activity and the water resource. The lack of feedback from planning engineers to the regulatory agencies which set water quality standards is identified as a major constraint on efficient water quality management and planning. The inability to respond to changing land uses is identified as a major constraint on waterfront land use planning. A neglect of the distributional aspects of urban water recreation development is identified as a constraint on the effectiveness of its planning. Jurisdictional fragmentation and/or competition is identified as a constraint on the planning and control of metropolitan growth. From the analysis of the planning experience, general guidelines for urban water resources planning in the four problem-areas are formulated in the language of systems analysis. (Author)
