Land use in America

About this book

Land Use in America is designed to help communities throughout the country accommodate growth in better, more environmentally sound, more fiscally responsible ways. Henry L. Diamond and Patrick F. Noonan, two preeminent figures in the modern conservation movement, provide a broad overview of major land use issues of the past twenty-five years and a ten-point agenda for future action. They look at key trends and patterns of the past two decades and make recommendations for ensuring that future growth takes place in a more sustainable manner. The synthesis and analysis featured in the first part of the book is based in large part on a series of papers that are included in their entirety in the second part of the book.
