Planning Sustainability (Hardcover)

Exploring the relationship between environmental sustainability and planning, this textbook explores the different implications of sustainability for public planning in the industrialized world. Environmental sustainability has become one of the most salient issues on the policy agenda of nation-states in the late 20th century. However, this book argues that planning is often, wrongly, ignored by advocates of environmental politics. Several major questions are addressed in this volume: what are the consequences of environmental sustainability for current patterns of social steering by the state and socio-economic planning?; what lessons do earlier experiences of social and economic planning in Western democracies have for future sustainability planners?; and what challenges are generated for conventional socio-economic management by specifically environmental planners? These issues are explored by contributors from different intellectual traditions.
