Descripción
Sumario:"We live in regions--territories defined primarily by function and only rarely by jurisdiction. The places where we work, live, shop, recreate, and socialize constitute a territory that seldom corresponds to a single town or city. Regional planning is concerned less with the exercise of jurisdiction and more with the search for new forms of habitation based on a clear commitment to advancing sustainability. Editors Ethan Seltzer and Armando Carbonell invited the other chapter contributors to assist a new generation of planning practitioners in understanding the roots and applications of regional planning in America today and the prospects for its practice in the future."--The Publisher
