By bringing together and comparing the experiences of green belt reform across the whole developed world, this book adds to the understanding of how a green belt can be affected and what alternatives exist to it. A team of leading researchers and practitioners assess the usefulness of green belts and their alternatives as tools for planners in this new century.
Planners internationally have employed green belts to contain the explosive sprawl of cities as varied as Tokyo, Vienna and Melbourne during the twentieth century. As yet, no collection has gathered these experiences together to consider their contribution to planning. Juxtaposing examples of green belt implementation worldwide, this book adds to understanding of how green belts can be effected in theory and how practitioners have adapted them in practice. The book provides a typology of green belt implementation and reform, enabling planners to grasp why these policies are employed and whether they are relevant to twenty-first century planning.
