Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation

Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation

After decades of evolving practice often tested in court development impact fees have become institutionalized in the American planning and local government finance systems. But they remain contentious especially as they continue to evolve. This book is the third in a series of impact fee guidebooks for practitioners following A Practitioner’s Guide to Development Impact Fees and Impact Fees: Proportionate Share Development Fees. Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation is the culmination of the authors’ careers devoted to pioneering applications of the dual rational nexus test. That test requires (1) establishing the rational nexus between the need for infrastructure broadly defined to mitigate the impacts of development and (2) ensuring that development mitigating its infrastructure impacts benefits proportionately. The book elevates professional practice in two ways. First it shows how the rational nexus test can be applied to all forms of development infrastructure impact mitigation. Second it establishes the link between professional ethics and equity as applied to proportionate share impact fees and development mitigation. The book is divided into four parts with the first reviewing policy and legal foundations the second detailing the planning calculation and implementation requirements the third exploring economic ethical and equity implications and the fourth presenting state-of-the-art case studies. Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation sets new standards for professional practice.

Distributive Justice Debates in Political and Social Thought Perspectives on Finding a Fair Share

Distributive Justice Debates in Political and Social Thought Perspectives on Finding a Fair Share

Who has what and why in our societies is a pressing issue that has prompted explanation and exposition by philosophers politicians and jurists for as long as societies and intellectuals have existed. It is a primary issue for a society to tackle this and these answers have been diverse. This collection of essays approaches some of these questions and answers to shed light on neglected approaches to issues of distribution and how these issues have been dealt with historically socially conceptually and practically. The volume moves away from the more dominating and traditionally cast understandings of distributive justice and shows novel and unique ways to approach distributive issues and how these can help enlighten our course of action and thought today by creating new pathways of understanding. The editors and contributors challenge readers by exploring the role and importance of restorative justice within distributive justice exploring the long shadow of practices of trusteeship and concepts of social and individual rights and obligations in welfare and economic systems social protection/provision schemes egalitarian practices and post-colonial African political thought. Distributive Justice Debates in Political and Social Thought empowers the reader to cast a more critical and historically complete light on the idea of a fair share and the implications it has on societies and the individuals who comprise them. | Distributive Justice Debates in Political and Social Thought Perspectives on Finding a Fair Share

Target Cost Contracting Strategy in Construction Principles Practices and Case Studies

Target Cost Contracting Strategy in Construction Principles Practices and Case Studies

The problems inherent in the traditional design-bid-build procurement method often lead to the adversarial working relationships within the construction industry. Target cost contracts accompanied by a gain-share/pain-share arrangement serving as a cost incentive mechanism have emerged in the United States the United Kingdom Australia and Hong Kong with the aim of achieving better value for money and more satisfactory overall project performance under a collaborative working relationship. This book presents the underlying principles practicalities and a series of short case studies of applying the target cost contracting strategy. Principles begin with the fundamentals then cover the development of target cost contracting in major countries/cities definitions of target cost contracting perceived benefits potential difficulties and critical success factors for implementation. Practices include the target cost contracting approach and process in general the key risk factors risk assessment model risk allocation and risk mitigation measures for target cost contracts in particular together with a conceptual framework for the performance measurement of target cost contracts. Several short real-life case studies from the United Kingdom Hong Kong Australia and New Zealand are provided for further illustration. The book will appeal to a wide spectrum of readers from industrial practitioners to undergraduate students researchers and academics interested in construction contracts and procurement methods. | Target Cost Contracting Strategy in Construction Principles Practices and Case Studies

The volume gathers together seventeen articles dedicated to the monetary history of medieval Italy most of them newly translated into English. The articles in the first section of the volume trace the development of monetisation in Italy from the Lombard period until the rise of the communes taking Rome Lazio Tuscany and several cities and regions in north-central Italy as case studies. The articles in the second section analyse different aspects of monetary production and circulation in Byzantine Italy while the third gathers together studies on various aspects of Carolingian coinage: the transition from the Lombard system and the problem of furnishing an adequate supply of silver; mints and royal administration; and the activity and inactivity of mints operating at the edges of the Regnum Italiae.

Solar Heating Systems for Houses A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems

Solar Heating Systems for Houses A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems

The use of solar collectors for domestic hot water over the past 20 years has demonstrated that solar heating systems are now founded on a reliable and mature technology. However the development of similar but more complex systems to provide both domestic hot water and space heating (solar combisystems) resulted in a diverse range of different designs that were not carefully optimized to reflect local climate and practice. Application of energy-efficient building strategies such as improved thermal insulation and use of low temperature heat supply systems is becoming increasingly common. This trend combined with growing environmental awareness and the subsidies available in certain countries favours an increase in market share for solar combisystems. The need for guidelines in selecting the appropriate system and designing this system according to the specific needs of the building and the local environment is therefore now increasingly pressing. This book fills that need. | Solar Heating Systems for Houses A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems
