Description
This work deals entirely with the new challenge of sustainable land use. Focusing primarily on rural land uses, it answers many questions (such as: what is sustainability?; how can it be achieved?; what role can land use planning play?; and how can it be incorporated into existing land use planning methods?) by demonstrating new policies, new methods, and examples of projects that include sustainability in land use planning. This book is intended for landscape and urban planners, environmental scientists, conservationists and all those responsible for creating policies and making projects regarding future land uses and rural reconstructions in the countryside.
