Since Integrating City Planning and Environmental Improvement was
originally published in 1999, the practice of integrating urban
physical planning and environmental quality management has been
widely adopted by governments worldwide. Fully revised and updated
with a new preface by editors Donald Miller and Gert de Roo and new
figures throughout, this second edition reports on the experience
of 23 innovative programmes from 11 countries. Mostly written by
practicing planners and government officials, the book looks at a
wide range of integrated approaches which have been implemented and
the critical assessment of these provides lessons for local and
national governments interested in setting up similar schemes and
suggesting ways of further innovation. While the Rio Earth summit,
Habitat II and Kyoto have been a source of global principles for
improving the environmental quality of human settlements, this book
explores approaches to implement these policy positions and to make
these calls for action operational. Consequently, the presentation
of these cases deals not only with the technical aspects of
measuring and controlling environmental spillovers, but also with
the institutional, political and financial aspects of these
programmes.
