It is a matter of great urgency to determine strategies and tools in support of sustainable development. The book synthesizes the results of PLUREL, a large European Commission funded research project (2007-2010).  Tools and strategies of PLUREL address main challenges of managing land use in peri-urban areas. These results are presented and illustrated by means of\u003cb\u003e 7 \u003c\/b\u003ecase studies which are at the core of the book.  This volume presents a novel, future oriented approach to the planning and management of peri-urban areas with a main focus on scenarios and sustainability impact analysis. The research is unique in that it focuses on the future by linking quantitative\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003escenario\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003emodeling and sustainability impact analysis with qualitative and in-depth analysis of regional strategies, as well as including a study at European level  with case study work also involving a Chinese case study.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-03-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642428982\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-30529-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 453\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49474957967500,"sku":"9783642428982","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642428982.jpg?v=1777994498","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783642428982","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
