Summary: This integrated and wide-ranging collection of essays surveys the key environmental issues in rural areas in the developed world, using case-study material from the UK, USA and Sweden. From the perspectives of geography, sociology, economics, politics and planning, leading researchers examine the environmental implications of agricultural change, rural settlements, land-use, energy, social change and politics, touching on vital problems such as industrial farming, counterurbanisation, the global commons and conflict resolutions in land-use. The book's aim is to demonstrate how planning regimes will have to be modified to take account of environmental imperatives, and to indicate ways in which this may be done. Essential reading for academics, students and researchers in these fields, the book will also be an important reference for practising planning professionals.
