Strategic Environmental Assessment in Transport and Land Use Planning

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Assessing the full scale of environmental impacts is essential for effective planning of transport and land use. This is the first book to establish the effectiveness of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) through comparative analysis of practice in three countries: Britain, The Netherlands and Germany. The author shows that use of SEA is widespread but far from systematic. He demonstrates the advantages of adopting a systematic application of a comprehensive form of SEA derived from all the major current approaches. Only once this approach is fully understood and systematically applied will the full benefits be achieved and environmental impacts minimized.This is essential reading for all those involved in planning, transport and different forms of land use, and in environmental impact assessment.
