Description

Sustainable Development is now firmly on the planning agenda and is an issue neither practitioner nor academic can afford to ignore. This book provides a multi-disciplinary overview of sustainability issues in the land use context, focusing on principles and their application, as well as the legal, political and policy context. It explores how sustainable development thinking can be applied to housing, urban design and property development, waste management, and transport, providing real tools to move beyond rhetoric into practice. By considering both sustainable and unsustainable impacts, this book offers practical guidance for those looking to make a positive impact on the environment.
