Abstract

ABSTRACT Urban projects are developed partly to solve local problems but often have wider aims to influence policy and practise. However, there is very little long-term evaluation carried out, and few systematic efforts to link the experience gained in project development and implementation to wider learning and capacity building. I have written this opinion piece based on my experience both in practise in the public and private sectors and in teaching and research. The paper is divided into three parts. First, why urban projects and programmes are important for learning and capacity building. Second, how we learn from projects and the opportunities and barriers to learning. Third, how we could increase learning by explicitly including learning objectives in project planning and evaluation, strengthening links between practice and learning, and improving long-term access to project materials with learning potential.

从城市项目中学习:我们为什么以及如何释放城市发展项目和规划的学习潜力
城市项目的开发部分是为了解决当地问题,但往往有更广泛的目标来影响政策和实践。但是,很少进行长期评价,也很少有系统的努力将在项目发展和执行中获得的经验与更广泛的学习和能力建设联系起来。我根据自己在公共和私营部门的实践经验以及教学和研究经验撰写了这篇评论文章。本文共分为三个部分。首先,为什么城市项目和规划对学习和能力建设很重要。第二,我们如何从项目中学习,学习的机会和障碍。第三,我们如何通过明确地将学习目标纳入项目规划和评估,加强实践与学习之间的联系,以及改善具有学习潜力的项目材料的长期获取,来增加学习。

期刊介绍: International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development aims to provide a forum for cutting-edge research and rigorous debate for an in-depth and holistic understanding of the complex inter-related environmental, social, economic, political, spatial, institutional and physical challenges facing urban areas. Its premise is that multi-disciplinary approaches provide the space for the range of disciplines and perspectives related to the full breadth of issues that affect urban sustainable development.
