Issues and responses: land use and planning in Eastern and Southern Africa
Edited by
Wayne Caldwell
Land use planning presents a continuing challenge to national, regional
and local authorities as choices must be made among the diverse demands
placed on land resources by competing stakeholders. This volume provides
an introduction to both rural and urban land use planning with particular
attention to the environmental impacts of land use practices. The technical
discussion is supplemented by a series of case studies drawing on research
in eastern and southern Africa.
