As sustainable urban development and management has become increasingly central to governments ranging from local to national in scale, examples of initiatives to implement this goal have come to add significance and utility. This is a principal reason for preparing this new, revised edition of Integrating City Planning and Environmental Improvement. First published in 1999, the 23 cases that this book presents have perhaps even more value today as we move beyond general deliberations concerning the desirability of addressing environmental quality issues, and focus more on strategies to deal operationally with them.

The fact that these cases include national, regional, city and neighbourhood programs results in their providing useful ideas and encouragement to those engaged in planning at the national, regional or local levels.
