The development of alternative forms of energy supply since the
mid-1970s has brought with it a range of new issues and concerns,
ranging from nuclear waste disposal to land use planning for energy
efficiency. This latest volume in the acclaimed Energy Policy
Studies series brings together an interdisciplinary group of
researchers to examine the relationship between energy and planning
policy, with emphasis on urban and regional impacts.
Like other volumes in the series, the articles included focus on
the social, political, and economic dimensions of energy
technology, resources, and use. The emphasis on issues of
technological scale, resource allocation, environmental impact and
quality, and urban and regional studies makes this a unique
contribution to the literature.
