Options and Strategies for Balanced Development for Liveable Cities: An Epilogue. 330 $aThis book provides a unique synthesis of concepts and tools to examine natural resource, socio-economic, legal, policy and institutional issues that are important for managing urban growth into the future. The book will particularly help the reader to understand the current issues and challenges and develop strategies and practices to cope with future pressures of urbanisation and peri-urban land, water and energy use challenges. In particular, the book will help the reader to discover underlying principles for the planning of future cities and peri-urban regions in relation to: (i) Balanced urban development policies and institutions for future cities; (ii) Understanding the effects of land use change, population increase, and water demand on the liveability of cities; (iii) Long-term planning needs and transdisciplinary approaches to ensure the secured future for generations ahead; and (iv) Strategies to adapt the cities and land, water and energy uses for viable and liveable cities. There are growing concerns about water, food security and sustainability with increased urbanisation worldwide. For cities to be liveable and sustainable into the future there is a need to maintain the natural resource base and the ecosystem services in the peri-urban areas surrounding cities. This need is increasing under the looming spectre of global warming and climate change. This book will be of interest to policy makers, urban planners, researchers, post-graduate students in urban planning, environmental and water resources management, and managers in municipal councils. 410 0$aWater Science and Technology Library,$x0921-092X ;$v72 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aUrban planning 606 $aHydrology 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aLandscape ecology 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aHydrology/Water Resources$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aLandscape Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19058 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aUrban planning. 615 0$aHydrology. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aLandscape ecology. 615 14$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aHydrology/Water Resources. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aLandscape Ecology. 676 $a710 702 $aMaheshwari$b Basant$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSingh$b V.
