This 2007 book surveys the global experience to date in
implementing land-use policies that move us further along the
sustainable development continuum. The international community has
long recognized the need to ensure ongoing and future development
is conducted sustainably. While high-level commitments towards
sustainable development such as those included in the Rio and
Johannesburg Declarations are politically important, they are
irrelevant if they are not translated into reality on the ground.
This book includes chapters that discuss the challenges of
implementing sustainable land-use policies in different regions of
the world, revealing problems that are common to all jurisdictions
and highlighting others that are unique to particular regions. It
also includes chapters documenting new approaches to sustainable
land use, such as reforms to property rights regimes and
environmental laws. Other chapters offer comparisons of approaches
in different jurisdictions that can present insights which might
not be apparent from a single-jurisdiction analysis.
