From Westway to Love Canal to Three Mile Island, the siting of unwanted facilities generates locational conflict.Locational conflict pits communities against corporations, local municipalities against state and federal agencies, interest groups against interest groups - the broader society in need of a facility against the local community selected to site that facility.This book examines the politics of conflict over the siting of major facilities and provides the tools for resolving site selection controversies. It addresses the issues, the actors, the interests - and most importantly, the methods for finding solutions.From Westway to Love Canal to Three Mile Island, the siting of unwanted facilities generates locational conflict.
