PLANNING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE: STRATEGIES FOR MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION FOR SPATIAL PLANNERS

摘要

The last few years have seen hundreds of books published annually on climate change and its implications, making the field somewhat crowded and the audience somewhat spoiled for choice. Providing a bespoke commentary from a particular perspective or for a specific profession or social group is one way to differentiate your offering from the crowd. Hence, we are regaled with titles on climate change and politics (e.g. Harris, 2007), climate change and ethics (e.g. Garvey, 2008) and the enticingly distinctive Global Warming and Other Bollocks (Feldman and Marks, 2009). The book under review is targeted at the climate change-spatial planning nexus and 'aims to map out the main challenges for spatial planning that have been created or amplified by climate change'.
