45. Recommendations
1 Project-based planning: emphasis from official plans
to the interests of the project stakeholders in the
practices of planning and design
2 Answering to the increasing complexity of the urban
context by simple, flexible and self-organizing design and
planning solutions
3 Introducing integrative, participatory project
development: combining architecture, real estate
development and urban planning
4 New guidelines for utilizing contracts and municipal land
politics in the sharing of risks and benefits
5 Seeing projects as a part of areal competition,
providing simultaneous management of social, spatial,
economic and image-related issues
8 Coaching the stakeholders for situation sensitivity,
controlled launch of the project and the utilization of
reciprocal response
9 The use of special diagrams in order to benefit from
multiple optional choices instead of a pre-defined solution
10 the possibility of a UDM consult and the work
description; a new model of consultation as a facilitator,
dealer and manager in the process
6 Shared visions in strategic planning
7 Defining and taking benefit of urban resources and
events
