The volume incorporates case studies from a wide variety of disciplines and perspectives. The case studies explore past and current land use decisions, on both public and private lands, and include practical approaches and tools for land-use decision-making.

The intended audience is broad and multidisciplinary, from undergraduate and graduate level courses in environmental studies to professional land use planners.…
