Spatial planning has a vital role to play in the move to a low
carbon energy future and in adapting to climate change. To do this,
spatial planning must develop and implement new approaches.
Elizabeth Wilson and Jake Piper explore a wide range of issues in
this comprehensive book on the relationship between our changing
climate and spatial planning, and suggest ways of addressing the
challenges by taking a longer-sighted approach to our preparation
for the future. This text includes: an overview of what we know
already about future climate change and its impacts, as we attempt
both to adapt to these changes and to reduce the emissions which
cause them the role of spatial planning in relation to climate
change, offering some theoretical and political explanations for
the challenges that planning faces in the coming decades a review
of policy and legislation at international, EU and UK levels in
regard to climate change, and the support this gives to the
planning system case studies detailing what responses the UK and
the Netherlands have made so far in light of the evidence ways to
help new and existing urban developments to reduce energy use and
to adapt to climate change, through strengthening the relationships
between urban and rural areas to avoid water shortage, floods or
loss of biodiversity. The authors take an evidence-based look at
this hugely important topic, providing a well-illustrated text for
spatial planning professionals, politicians and the interested
public, as well as a useful reference for postgraduate planning,
geography, urban studies, urban design and environmental studies
students.
