商品簡介
In keeping with the aim of the Urban Planning and Environment series, this volume presents empirically based studies that assess a variety of initiatives to improve environmental quality. The contributors use case studies of both large and small nations to provide an interdisciplinary critical overview of environmental planning in the Caribbean. They argue that context is central to environmental planning in this region and focus on the interaction between local and global relations of power. The topics covered include participatory planning, urban planning, physical development planning, pest management, sustainable development, water pollution, and ecotourism.
