More than a tenth of the land mass of the UK comprises urban
fringe: the countryside around towns that has been called plannings
last frontier. One of the key challenges facing spatial planners is
the land-use management of this area, regarded by many as fit only
for locating sewage works, essential service functions and other
un-neighborly uses. However, to others it is a dynamic area where a
range of urban and rural uses collide.
"Planning on the Edge" fills an important gap in the literature,
examining in detail the challenges that planning faces in this
no-mans land. It presents both problems and solutions, and builds a
vision for the urban fringe that is concerned with maximizing its
potential and with bridging the physical and cultural rift between
town and country. Its findings are presented in three sections:
* the urban fringe and the principles underpinning its
management
* sectorial challenges faced at the urban fringe (including
commerce, energy, recreation, farming, and housing)
* managing the urban fringe more effectively in the future.
Students, professionals and researchers alike will benefit from the
books structured approach, while the global and transferable nature
of the principles and ideas underpinning the study will appeal to
an international audience.
