TLDR
The LCA showed quantitatively that, since connecting new fringe suburbs to the existing system requires significant expenditure on energy for pumping, major improvements in the sustainability of water and wastewater systems can be achieved by using localised, water-saving alternatives.
Understanding Strategic Planning and the Formulation and Implementation of Strategic Plans as a Way of Knowing: The Contributions of Actor-Network Theory
ABSTRACT This article has two purposes: first, to take seriously the notion of strategic planning as a way of knowing, and second, to argue that actor-network theory provides a particularly apposite…

Implications of an uncertain future for port planning
TLDR
This article proposes an adaptive approach to planning that combines elements of Assumption-Based Planning (ABP) and Adaptive Policymaking (APM), developed in the early 1990s, and improves its robustness and adaptability through taking actions either in the planning stage or in advance that can be taken as the uncertainties resolve themselves.
