Planners and lawyers engaged in the formulation and
implementation of plans affecting the environment should have a
working knowledge of the legal principles affecting those plans.
They should also be familiar with the principles of environmental
law. However, environmental law has not been a traditional part of
the curriculum of law schools. Many practicing lawyers have never
taken a course in environmental law; nor have many of the judges
charged with deciding cases whose outcome may have consequences for
the environment.
In the interest of counteracting this lack of knowledge, Legal
Foundations of Environmental Planning integrates excerpts from more
than seventy-five court case rulings to illustrate the system of
environmental laws and the problems of enforcement.
Dedicated specifically to discussions on legal theories and
procedures, air pollution, water pollution, and control of
population growth and distribution, this sourcebook also includes
an extensive glossary of environmental terms. It is a valuable aid
for students, legal specialists, public officials, environmental
professionals, and urban planners.
