Böcker av Paul Selman

Following on from the UN Conference on Environment and Development in 1992, sustainable development has become a major policy objective throughout the world. This book addresses the nature of sustainable development, the particular issues raised at local level, and the ways in which local citizens, organizations and businesses can respond.

This successful book is a comprehensive overview of the principles and practices of planning rural and urban environments. Introducing general ideas rather than specific practices, the book assumes little prior knowledge and includes concise introductions to the nature and purpose of town planning; wildlife and landscape protection; and pollution control.
