内容説明

"Development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." As the Brundtland Commission's definition suggests, sustainable development faces challenges from the interdependence of peoples and places throughout the globe. While environmental concerns threaten the quality of life, the "pollution of poverty" may threaten life itself. "Sustainable Development" encapsulates the realization that to achieve the goals of either conservation or development, the welfare needs of the poorest groups must be addressed. This work identifies how and why future development patterns and processes must be sustainable on a global scale. From an examination of the historical origins of the concept, the text explores the current patterns and future challenges of resource use in rural and urban environments. Synthesizing material from a diversity of more specialized volumes, and from developing nations at a variety of spatial scales, this introductory text aims to provide a source for students in both developed and developing countries.
