The number and the quality of planning applications through which permission is sought to undertake building and engineering works in Britain varies for different types of development, over time, and between areas. The determinants of application quantity and application quality (being the...

The paper originated at an international congress of planning teachers organised by the Association of European Schools of Planning and American Collegiate Schools of Planning in 1991. It aims to offer a straightforward description of the genesis and development of the London School of Economics...

In the Hawaiian Islands, planners and public officials have decided recently to raise the permissible level of urban development in central Oahu. The decision is opposed by many on the grounds that it threatens agricultural land as well as the sustainability of groundwater supply. A two-part...

The year 2000 and the idea of the third millennium have for long attracted the interest of planners. This paper is a review of some earlier thoughts about the possible nature of British cities in the year 2000 and beyond. These visions of the future are classified in terms of predictions based...

Space has been traditionally conceptualised as a passive host to its user activities. Increasingly, however, it is recognised that patterns of human interaction are derivative of the spatial configuration of which they are an integral part. This work is almost wholly confined to computational...

A methodology is presented for the evaluation of discrete transportation options characterised along multiple dimensions based on fuzzy and linguistic variables. In particular, the methodology recognises the possibility of degrees of uncertainty or imprecision surrounding the outcomes of each...

Inferior and noninferior solutions to the location set-covering problem are differentiated and computational experience is presented which strongly suggests that noninferior solutions, from the relaxed linear programming formulation, will be fully integral with a high degree of reliability. The...

The traditional theories of style are reviewed from an artistic-products point of view and the possibilities of scrutinizing style are examined from the information-processing perspective. Assumptions are proposed and variables defined upon which set of hypotheses are developed to inspect the...

The geometry of shapes made up of finite planes is considered in detail. Algorithms on maximal planes for performing shape arithmetic are developed.
