Sustainable development is capturing the attention of planners,
politicians and business leaders. Within the academic sphere its
study is increasingly breaching disciplinary boundaries to become a
focus of attention for natural and social scientists alike. But in
studying such a key concept, it is vital that there is a clear
definition of what it means, how it is applied on the ground, and
the influence it exerts upon people's perceptions of change in the
physical environment, economic activity and society. Exploring
Sustainable Development is a major new text which provides a
multifaceted introduction to key areas of study in this field,
examining sustainability at the full range of spatial scales from
the local to the global. Building on existing theory it
demonstrates the unique contributions that thinking geographically
about space, place and human-environment relationships can bring to
the analysis of sustainable development. This book explores
different interpretations of sustainable development in both theory
and practice, in developed and developing countries, and in rural
and urban areas. It pays particular attention to the local,
national and international politics of implementation, the future
of climate and energy, the role of business, and different
conceptions of agricultural sustainability. This wide-ranging text
is ideal for undergraduates and postgraduates in geography,
environmental science, development studies, and related social and
political sciences.
