With origins in the late 1960s, a 'quiet revolution' in land use
planning and control has taken hold across North America. First
seen as a manifestation of the environmental movement, the
revolution prompted governments at several levels to attempt to
protect critical areas and vulnerable natural resources. Many of
the most dramatic and far-reaching shifts in planning regimes have
occurred in large-scale, environmentally unique or sensitive
regions. It is these big places, looming large in the American and
Canadian psyches, that are the focus of this edited volume. Each of
the chapters reflects on the contemporary challenge of
environmental and land use planning. Ten leading distinguished
scholars here provide thoughtful analyses and critical insights
into the processes and contexts shaping the innovative planning and
policy schemes in seven regional landscapes.
