Synopsis

Sustainable development is the new mantra, but what does it mean on the ground, in how people relate to their physical environment and across landscapes? This book aims to offer fresh insights into sustainable development by looking at it from a range of geographical perspectives. Building on existing theory, it demonstrates geography's unique contribution to the study of human-environment relationships and examines sustainability at the full range of spatial scales - from the global to the local. Both theory and practice are discussed as the book explores sustainable development in urban and rural areas, in both developing and devloped countries. The contributors suggest that the future path of sustainability is ours to forge - if we make the choice and take action.
