This book was released on 1981 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When planning new growth and redevelopment, communities can siginficantly reduce energy consumption by incorporating energy-efficient land use concepts such as site and building design, locational planning, and higher density development. Decisionmakers, however, are reluctant to use these concepts because of major barriers such as the cost of implementing the concepts and resistance to higher density development. The Federal Government can play a role in promoting energy-efficient land use by providing guidance through its policies, supporting research and comprehensive planning, and providing needed financial incentives.

Derrick Sewell and published by Lands Directorate, Environment Management Service, Environment Canada. This book was released on 1980 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the price and unreliability of energy supply increases, so too do the disadvantages of its inefficient use. Since it is cheaper and less environmentally disruptive to save energy than to produce it, many Canadians have begun to recognize that conservation must play a major role in any energy policy designed to achieve self-sufficiency"--Executive summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The initiation of a policy of energy efficient land use planning is a difficult proposition since it requires a long term commitment and there are relatively few immediate returns as there are for example, when you "turn off the lights". As a result, a, strategy for energy conservation through land use planning did not become immediately significant after the "oil crisis" in 1973"--Preface.

Download or read book Energy Land and Public Policy written by J. Barry Cullingworth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of alternative forms of energy supply since the mid-1970s has brought with it a range of new issues and concerns, ranging from nuclear waste disposal to land use planning for energy efficiency. This latest volume in the acclaimed Energy Policy Studies series brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers to examine the relationship between energy and planning policy, with emphasis on urban and regional impacts.Like other volumes in the series, the articles included focus on the social, political, and economic dimensions of energy technology, resources, and use. The emphasis on issues of technological scale, resource allocation, environmental impact and quality, and urban and regional studies makes this a unique contribution to the literature.Contents: "Creating Land-Energy Transitions," by Andrew F.

Download or read book Energy Sprawl Solutions written by Joseph M. Kiesecker and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the next several decades, as human populations grow, the demand for energy will soar. But renewable energy sources have a large energy sprawl--the amount of land needed to produce energy--which can threaten biodiversity. In Energy Sprawl Solutions, scientists Joseph M. Kiesecker and David Naugle provide a roadmap for preserving biodiversity despite the threats of energy sprawl. Their strategy--development by design--identifies and sets aside land where biodiversity can thrive while consolidating development in areas with lower biodiversity value. This contributed volume features case studies from countries around the world, each describing a different energy sector and the way they have successfully maximized biodiversity protection. This book provides a needed guide for elected officials, industry representatives, NGOs and community groups who have a stake in sustainable energy-development planning.

Download or read book Land Use and Spatial Planning written by Graciela Metternicht and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconciles competing and sometimes contradictory forms of land use, while also promoting sustainable land use options. It highlights land use planning, spatial planning, territorial (or regional) planning, and ecosystem-based or environmental land use planning as tools that strengthen land governance. Further, it demonstrates how to use these types of land-use planning to improve economic opportunities based on sustainable management of land resources, and to develop land use options that strike a balance between conservation and development objectives. Competition for land is increasing as demand for multiple land uses and ecosystem services rises. Food security issues, renewable energy and emerging carbon markets are creating pressures for the conversion of agricultural land to other uses such as reforestation and biofuels. At the same time, there is a growing demand for land in connection with urbanization and recreation, mining, food production, and biodiversity conservation. Managing the increasing competition between these services, and balancing different stakeholders’ interests, requires efficient allocation of land resources.
