This text looks critically at interpretations of sustainability in land use planning. By linking conceptual and methodological debates with empirical analyses of planning for transport, nature conservation and minerals, the authors rethink the relationship between theories of sustainability and planning practice.
Deals with important current environmental issues, based on case studies at different geographical scales - local, national and global - concerning living resource management, non-renewable resources and pollution.
Giving direct attention to the physical impact of climate change and setting out the land use planning dimension of climate in the UK, this report identifies the direct effects of climate change on the natural and human environment and investigates the preventative and adaptive policies likely for adoption in response.
