Wilkinson, an expert on federal public lands, Native American issues, and the West's arcane water laws explains some of the core problems facing the American West now and in the years to come. He examines the outmoded ideas that pervade land use and resource allocation and argues that significant reform of Western law is needed to combat desertification and environmental decline, and to heal splintered communities. Interweaving legal history with examples of present-day consequences of the laws, both intended and unintended, Wilkinson traces the origins and development of the laws and regulations that govern mining, ranching, forestry, and water use. He relates stories of Westerners who face these issues on a day-to-day basis, and discusses what can and should be done to bring government policies in line with the reality of twentieth-century American life. 606 $aCities and towns$zUnited States$xGrowth 606 $aCity planning$zUnited States 606 $aRegional planning$zUnited States 606 $aMixed-use developments$zUnited States 606 $aSustainable development$zUnited States 615 0$aCities and towns$xGrowth. 615 0$aCity planning 615 0$aRegional planning 615 0$aMixed-use developments 615 0$aSustainable development 676 $a307.1/216 701 $aChavan$b Abhijeet$01803022 701 $aPeralta$b Christian$01803023 701 $aSteins$b Christopher$01803024 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961405803321 996 $aPlanetizen contemporary debates in urban planning$94349509 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
