Author Description

The 23 chapters of this book report on the experiences of an actual program to accomplish the integration of urban physical planning and environmental quality management. These programs, from eleven countries, serve as a source of ideas and provide lessons which could inform similar efforts in other localities. Most contributions are from planners and governmental officials who have been involved in these programs, providing a critical, first-hand account of their experiences, with a view to inspiring further projects by local and national governments.
