Elevating Trust In Local Government by Rick Davis,Dan Griffiths Pdf

More than ever before, citizens are looking for leaders at all levels of government that they can trust to genuinely represent their aspirations for their communities. Perhaps there is no better environment for this desire to be fulfilled than at the most local level. The process of building that trust starts with taking the time to fully understand what residents desire from their local government and then putting an effective plan into action that delivers on those expectations. Community-based strategic planning is the process of moving from resident aspirations to an actionable plan that local government leaders can work to execute. In this book, Rick Davis and Dan Griffiths lay out their combined decades of experience with local government to outline the ins and outs of a community-based approach to strategic planning. This isn't a book about what might work in theory. Instead, it outlines a practical approach that has been employed by local governments throughout the world. Using stories and examples from real communities where they have worked, Rick and Dan offer a systematic process that can be applied by cities, towns, counties, school districts, and other municipal governments. Whether a municipal manager, elected official, or even an involved citizen, this book will serve as a guide for developing a strategic plan for your community.

Strategic Planning in Local Communities by Călin Emilian Hințea,Marius Constantin Profiroiu,Tudor Cristian Țiclău Pdf

This is a comparative international study of the patterns of planning in local governments. While strategic planning has been a field of interest for public management and administrative science for over half a century there are very few cross-national studies of the specifics of planning in local governments. The book analyses the planning activities of local authorities in 7 diverse countries: France, Hungary, Romania, Russia, Spain, Turkey and USA. Although theoretical models of strategic planning are used, the book’s findings point to a very diverse and interesting environment with cultural, political and legal factors playing a significant role in shaping how planning is done in each country.

Community Visioning Programs by Norman Walzer,Gisele F Hamm Pdf

Communities have practiced strategic planning for decades using a variety of tools and programs based on the initial Take Charge programs of the early 1990s. These efforts generated a large amount of research regarding their effectiveness, as well as ways to measure long-term outcomes and other related issues, in efforts to better understand the process of community change. This book provides contributions written by researchers and practitioners describing both visioning and other strategic planning efforts. The Great Recession challenged the future of many small and medium sized cities, especially in non-metropolitan areas, renewing the interests of community leaders and elected officials in finding innovative ways to revitalize their local employment base and economic opportunities. Having access to a collection of best practices and successful approaches can greatly assist these practitioners in selecting strategies and techniques for use in their community efforts. The material in this book is especially useful because it includes both methodologies as well as case studies of how and why various approaches used in alternative cultural settings have succeeded. This book was originally published as a special issue of Community Development.

Strategic Planning in Local Government by Roger L. Kemp Pdf

This book shows how and why strategic planning is working in cities around the country. It illustrates how this technique enables a city to plan its future proactively and shows how local governments use it to solve current problems and make sure they continue to reach their goals. Using seventeen case studies from a diverse mix of cities, it outlines the components of successful strategic planning, including program design, needs and capabilities assessment, implementation, and ongoing evaluation. In this book, you'll see how planners use strategic planning to synthesize population trends, economic conditions, business trends, strategies, and objectives. The authors emphasize that the planning process is not entirely theoretical; real world factors-like support from politicians-is crucial. This casebook includes discussion questions with each case. Also included is a chapter devoted solely to a strategic planning model. These features make the book valuable not only to planners on the job but also to students in planning and public administration.

Local Government Strategic Planning by Victoria University of Wellington. Institute of Policy Studies. Local Futures Research Project Pdf

"[This book] is the second and final monograph of the Local Futures Research Project, a study of strategic policy and planning in local government, funded by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology and based at the School of Government, Victoria University of Wellington. The book describes and analyses the experiences of a sample of local and regional councils as they worked with their communities to prepare Long-Term Council Community Plans [LTCCPs] under the Local Government Act 2002. The authors critique the design and implementation of community strategic planning under the Act with a focus on the relationship between theory and practice. They also consider the implications of recent amendments to local government legislation, including the creation of the [new] Auckland Council [in November 2010] and modifications to strategic planning and management requirements. ..."--Back cover.
