Green Belts have been a cornerstone of planning policy in England and Scotland for more than 35 years. Perceived as successful in achieving their purposes, which include checking sprawl and safeguarding the countryside, Green Belts continue to attract widespread support. But are they as effective as we assume? What are the possible implications of Green Belt policy for the future? Is this policy the best way forward?

Most of us have heard of green belts – but how much do we really know about them? This book tries to separate the fact from the fiction when it comes to green belts by looking both backwards and forwards. They were introduced in the mid-twentieth century to try and stop cities merging together as they grew. There is little doubt they have been very effective at doing that, but at what cost? Are green belts still the answer to today’s problems of an increasing population and ever higher demands on our natural resources? Green Belts: Past; present; future? reflects upon green belts in the United Kingdom at a time when they have perhaps never been more valued by the public or under more pressure from development. The book begins with a historical study of the development of green belt ideas, policy and practice from the nineteenth century to the present. It discusses the impacts and characteristics of green belts and attempts to reconcile perceptions and reality. By observing examples of green belts and similar policies in other parts of the world, the authors ask what we want green belts to achieve and suggest alternative ways in which that could be done, before looking forward to consider how things might change in the coming years. This book draws together information from a range of sources to present, for the first time, a comprehensive study of green belts in the UK. It reflects upon the gap between perception and reality about green belts, analyses their impacts on rural and urban areas, and questions why they retain such popular support and whether they are still the right solution for the UK and elsewhere. It will be of interest to anyone who is concerned with planning and development and how we can provide the homes, jobs and services we need while protecting our more valuable natural assets.

Six Sigma Green Belts need support in applying new skills after training, yet there is little research about how this works and even less advice about what support looks like in the field. This book is that missing link in providing coaching tips to support Green Belt projects. There is an abundant amount of information on the technical, hard skills aspects of Six Sigma, while considerably less about the interpersonal side of DMAIC. Research has shown that desirable Green Belt project outcomes are greatly influenced by collaboration issues between the coach and the Green Belt team member, and therefore this text focuses on tips for effective collaboration practices. Besides being a comprehensive discussion about how to coach Green Belts on their first project, it may also be used to coach subsequent Green Belt projects. A case study of Louisville Metro demonstrates this books ideas in the field and includes an example of one of its actual Six Sigma Green Belt projects.

Abstract: Green Belt ("GB") in Hong Kong is under immense development pressure with the current Government's intention to increase land supply for housing development. GB's role to contain urban sprawl is challenged by previous studies as ineffective and is "residual" in nature. By reviewing planning applications within GB zone from 2006-2014, this dissertation aims to analyze the effectiveness of GB in containing urban sprawl by assessing the relationship between Town Planning Board ("TPB")'s decision on development within GB zone and the Government's initiatives to increase housing supply. The findings have showed that the TPB has rejected more planning applications within GB from 2013, the year when the Government announced its multi-pronged approach to increase land supply. In terms of spatial distribution, the approval rate in the Metro Area is the highest among all planning sub-regions, where the majority of applications were associated with public utility and Government uses. From a quantitative cross-sectional analysis, this study finds that small house was still the dominant proposed use within the GB area. It is also found that the TPB has strengthened its control over proposed development with site area falling within GB zone only or GB zone with its adjacent rural/recreation/conservation-related area. Meanwhile, more development were approved in application sites covered by both GB and development-related zonings. From the Chi-square test, it is evident that TPB was less discriminative against residential uses compared to other domestic uses such as small house and house. By a multiple regression model and looking into TPB papers of individual cases for their respective approval reasons/ planning considerations, it is found that site area, GFA, number of flats completed within 3 months prior to application, and the number of zonings covering the application site are no longer significant factors in explaining TPB's approval. In response to the limitations as identified from the analyses, a Strategic Suitability Assessment model is proposed to increase the comprehensiveness and public participation in the GB review process. The limitation of this study includes the exclusion of S.12A applications and the influence of "destroy first, build later" activities on TPB's decision, and the simplification of the assessment model recommended in the last section. Filling these research gaps will generate a more comprehensive understanding in the effectiveness and role of GB in fulfilling its planning intention to contain urban sprawl in Hong Kong.

The green belt has been one of the UK’s most consistent and successful planning policies. Over the past century, it has limited urban sprawl and preserved the countryside around our cities, but is it still fit for purpose in a world of unprecedented urban growth and potentially catastrophic climate change? Repurposing the Green Belt in the 21st Century examines the history of the green belt in the UK and how it has influenced planning regimes in other countries. Despite its undoubted achievements, it is time to review the green belt as an instrument of urban planning and landscape design. The problem of the ecological impact of cities and the mitigation measures of major climate changes are at the top of the urban agenda across the world. Urban agriculture, blue and green infrastructures, and forestation are the new ecological design imperatives driving urban policymaking.

Planners internationally have employed green belts to contain the explosive sprawl of cities as varied as Tokyo, Vienna and Melbourne during the twentieth century. As yet, no collection has gathered these experiences together to consider their contribution to planning. Juxtaposing examples of green belt implementation worldwide, this book adds to understanding of how green belts can be effected in theory and how practitioners have adapted them in practice. The book provides a typology of green belt implementation and reform, enabling planners to grasp why these policies are employed and whether they are relevant to twenty-first century planning.
