Advancing Sustainability at the Sub-National Level (eBook, ePUB)

The Potential and Limitations of Planning
Redaktion: Feitelson, Eran

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Notions of sustainability were originally advanced at supra-national level and, then, at local level. However, less attention has been given to the interim 'sub-national' levels until very recently. As planners normally focus on these sub-national levels, this book argues that they now have the opportunity to play a far more significant role in developing and implementing sustainability policies. Bringing together a wide range of international case studies from metropolitan and community levels, it examines the potential contribution of planning to the advancement of sustainability at sub-national levels and the limitations it faces in doing so.
