Land-Use Planning for Sustainable Development

Thirteen years ago, the first edition of Land-Use Planning for Sustainable Development examined the question: is the environmental doomsday scenario inevitable? It then presented the underlying concepts of sustainable land-use planning and an array of alternatives for modifying conventional planning for and regulation of the development of land. This second edition captures current success stories, showcasing creative, resilient strategies for fundamentally changing the way we alter our landscape.

• Explains the relationship between innovative land-use planning and nature¿s impartial, inviolate biophysical principles that govern the outcome of all planning



• Focuses on how decision making that flows from and aligns with nature¿s biophysical principles benefits all generations by consciously protecting and maintaining social-environmental sustainability
