A method for case selection in strategic urban planning

Abstract

Strategic planning application is frequent in urban practices. In order to understand this type of planning in a better way, urban researches use and take over good examples of practices from other countries. Selecting examples is most often made without considering their context and the specifics of the urban planning process. In practice, it results in the strategies which are not implemented and the plans which are not realized. The aim of the conducted research is to simplify the urban planners and researchers' choice of compatible good practice cases from different types of environment. This is achieved by creation of an evaluation model, whose role is to help select examples from different environments compatible with the environment where the research is conducted.
