Collaborative Land Use Management: The Quieter Revolution in Place-Based Planningdiscusses the less-regulatory approaches to land use management that have emerged over the past 35 years, analyzing the collective value of such place-based planning approaches as land trusts, open-space ballot measures, watershed conservancies, ecoregional plans, and smart-growth initiatives.Collaborative Land Use Managementappraises these trends from physical, social, economic, civic, and environmental justice perspectives. Mason seeks to answer such questions as: -What are the environmental justice implications of smart-growth efforts? -How is the property-rights movement affecting collaborative planning? -What is the significance of newly created planning regions? -What do these approaches mean in the larger context of the future of the American landscape? -How do we begin to evaluate and assess these efforts? Robert Mason pulls together a wide array of land-use planning initiatives into a synthetic and critical story. Incorporating many insightful case studies,Collaborative Land-Use Managementis intended for planners, practitioners, policy-makers, geographers, and students with interests in environment and landscape.
