Writing for graduate students, academic researchers, planners, conservationists and policy makers, and with the use of informative urban-region color maps, Richard Forman analyzes 38 urban regions from 32 nations, including London, Chicago, Ottawa, Brasilia, Cairo, Seoul, Bangkok, Canberra, and a major case study of the Greater Barcelona region. Alternative patterns of urbanization spread (including sprawl) are evaluated from the perspective of nature and people, stating land-use principles extracted from landscape ecology, transportation and hydrology. Good, bad and interesting spatial patterns for creating sustainable land mosaics are pinpointed, and urban regions are considered in broader contexts, from climate change to biodiversity loss, disasters and sense of place. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 City planning.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85026282 650 0 Regional planning.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85112367 650 0 Urban policy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85141322 650 0 Landscape protection.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85074474 650 0 Landscape ecology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh90002545 650 0 City planning|vCase studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009119762 650 0 Regional planning|vCase studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010110439 650 0 Urban policy|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85141322|vCase studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001484 650 0 Landscape protection|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85074474|vCase studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001484 650 0 Landscape ecology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh90002545|vCase studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh99001484 650 7 City planning.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/862177 650 7 Regional planning.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1093120 650 7 Urban policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1162489 650 7 Landscape protection.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 992049 650 7 Landscape ecology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 991909 650 7 City planning|xCase studies.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/862186 650 7 Regional planning|xCase studies.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1093127 650 7 Urban policy|xCase studies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1162490 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Case studies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423765 655 7 Case studies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2017026140 776 08 |iPrint version:|aForman, Richard T.T.|tUrban regions. |dCambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2008|z9780521854467|z0521854466|w(OCoLC)166382273 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=230719|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
