    Rechtszekerheid door flexibiliteit Een vooruitblik op hoe gemeenten de nieuwe mogelijkheden van de Omgevingswet gebruiken om het spanningsveld tussen flexibiliteit en rechtszekerheid in een omgevingsplan af te wegen.

(Monique) Arnolds Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Milieu Programmamanager Implementatie Crisis- en herstelwet [email protected] Pagina 3 Voorwoord Voor u ligt mijn afstudeerscriptie voor de master Spatial Planning. Het onderzoek betreft een oud en zwaarbeladen onderwerp binnen de Nederlandse planologie; het spanningsveld tussen flexibiliteit en rechtszekerheid. Met de resultaten van dit onderzoek hoop ik bij te dragen aan het academisch besef over- en de praktische invulling van dit spanningsveld. Alhoewel ik mij in eerste instantie probeerde te beperken tot het onderzoeken van dit specifieke spanningsveld, strekken de leerpunten van het proces tot het opstellen van deze thesis verder dan dat. Er is inzicht verkregen in veel meer spanningsvelden. Een spanningsveld over de verhouding tussen privé-, studie- en werktijd, de afweging tussen produceren en reflecteren en de scheiding tussen dag- en nacht zijn hier slechts enkele voorbeelden van. Net als bij het spanningsveld tussen flexibiliteit en rechtszekerheid blijken dit geen dichotome maatschalen te zijn. Sterker, de veronderstelde tegenstelling tussen uitersten van deze spanningsvelden werd gedurende de looptijd van deze scriptie steeds minder evident.

  • Planning for Tourism: Creating a Vibrant Singapore
    Planning for Tourism: Creating a Vibrant Singapore A common misconception is that tourism policy primarily focuses on promotion and marketing campaigns. While these activities are essential, another important but STUDIES URBAN SYSTEMS sometimes overlooked aspect is how creative city planning can support tourism promotion, and consequently, how the needs and goals of tourism policy can influence development and planning decisions. In Singapore, tourism has shaped the built environment, influenced conservation and heritage policies, and enhanced quality of life for Singapore’s residents. The industry has also helped to anchor Singapore’s global reputation and attractiveness as a place to conduct business, study and live. a Vibrant Singapore Planning for Tourism: Creating This book will examine how Singapore’s tourism strategies Planning and city planning support each other.

  • Industrial Infrastructure: Growing in Tandem with the Economy – Industrialisation Has Driven the Singapore Urban Systems Studi
    Industrial Infrastructure: Growing in Tandem with the Economy – Industrialisation has driven the engine of Singapore’s remarkable economic transformation since it gained internal self-government. This economic growth has developed in tandem with the industrial infrastructure landscape – its foundations were laid first in standard factories, and as the economy moved up the value chain towards a knowledge- driven phase, with ever more specialised industrial parks and innovative solutions. Singapore has had to deal with the constant challenge of staying relevant and competitive, while addressing the inherent constraints of land and labour. It is a story of visionary leadership, strong institutions, planning over a long-term horizon but adjusting flexibly in the short term, using crises as opportunities for learning and change, working with markets, and constant innovation. This study presents the progression of Singapore’s economic policies over the various phases of growth, and the corresponding developments in the industrial infrastructure. It also delves into how this integrated approach has occurred through the dynamics of the institutional structures and Singapore’s strategic industry choices over the years. The Singapore Urban Systems Studies Booklet Series draws on original Urban Systems Studies research by the Centre for Liveable Cities, Singapore (CLC) into Singapore’s development over the last half-century. The series is organised around domains such as water, transport, housing, planning, industry and the environment. Developed in close collaboration with relevant government agencies and drawing on exclusive interviews with pioneer leaders, these practitioner-centric booklets present a succinct overview and key principles of Singapore’s development model. Important events, policies, institutions, and laws are also summarised in concise annexes.

Quah Anti-Corruption Consultant, Singapore 5 Abstract Received 1 March 2018 Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explain why Singapore is a success story today despite the fact Revised 10 May 2018 that its prospects for survival were dim when it became independent in August 1965. Accepted 12 May 2018 Design/methodology/approach – This paper describes the changes in Singapore’s policy context from 1959 to 2016, analyses the five factors responsible for its success and concludes with advice for policy makers interested in implementing Singapore-style reforms to solve similar problems in their countries. Findings – Singapore’s success can be attributed to these five factors: the pragmatic leadership of the late Lee Kuan Yew and his successors; an effective public bureaucracy; effective control of corruption; reliance on the “best and brightest” citizens through investment in education and competitive compensation; and learning from other countries. Originality/value – This paper will be useful to those scholars and policy makers interested in learning from Singapore’s success in solving its problems. Keywords Singapore, Corruption, Education, Policy diffusion, Lee Kuan Yew, Pragmatic leadership, Effective public bureaucracy, Competitive compensation Paper type Research paper Explaining Singapore’s success Singapore is the smallest of […] Asia’s four “Little Dragons” […] but in many ways it is the most successful.
