Planning for a Sustainable Future

Brings together the key elements in the debate on sustainable development - the most exciting agenda within planning at the current time. The book is structured in three parts - the first examines the context through concepts of sustainable development, the history of the debate and the new agenda from a political, legal and planning perspective. The second part presents a series of sector reviews covering housing, transport and waste management - issues that affect the property market and urban design. The final section is based on analysis and covers elements of the debate at several different scales.
