Life Cycle Approaches to Sustainable Regional Planning and Development explains the ways life-cycle techniques strengthen regional socio-economic planning and development by adopting more systematic and long-term criteria for decision-making. It examines life-cycle practices from a scientific point of view, then examines actual case studies of regional initiatives using such techniques. It concludes with a list of recommendations on how to use life cycle approaches for sustainable regional development. Each chapter contains learning targets and related questions. It will be essential reading for regional and urban planners who are integrating life cycle thinking into their policy regimes.
