Australian Urban Land Use Planning - Principles, Systems and Practice: Second Edition (Paperback, 2nd edition)

Urban and regional planning is increasingly central to public policy in Australia and internationally. As cities and regions adapt to profound economic, societal and technological shifts, new urban and environmental problems are emerging - from inadequate systems of transport and infrastructure, to declining housing affordability, biodiversity loss and human-induced climate change. Australian Urban Land Use Planning provides a practical understanding of the principles, processes and mechanisms for strategic and proactive urban governance. Substantially updated and expanded, this second edition explains and compares the legislation, policy and plan-making, development assessment and dispute resolution processes of Australia's eight state and territorial planning jurisdictions as well as the changing role of the Commonwealth in environmental and urban policy. This new edition also extends the coverage of planning practice, with a new chapter on planning for climate change, a more detailed treatment of planning for housing diversity and affordability, and a comprehensive analysis of the NSW planning system and its evolution over the last 30 years. 'The book offers insights into the complex interactions that occur in planning and provides a guide to how it can be navigated within the Australian context. The result is a book that provides the reader with a very good basis to understanding the fundamentals of planning in Australia and as such the book offers a platform for the student to enter the workforce with a confident knowledge of land use planning at a working level.' Stephen Wearing, University of Technology, Sydney
