Description
Urban sprawl is caused in part by the need to accommodate a rising urban population; Urban sprawl has resulted in loss of productive agricultural lands, open green spaces and loss of surface water bodies.
Hence, there is a dire need to study, understand and quantify the urban sprawl.
This book integrates our current understanding of environmental processes with relevant social economic and other subjects to provide an integrated approach to land use.
Discusses goals, plans, and implementation means concerning public interference in land management and to what degree market forces and inputs of individuals predominate.
