International journal of sustainable development and planning (ISSN: 1743-7601)

Description

The “International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning” is an international, interdisciplinary journal covering the subjects of environmental design and planning, environmental management, spatial planning, environmental planning, environmental management and sustainable development in an integrated way as well as in accordance with the principles of sustainability. In the beginning of 21st century, despite major scientific and technological accomplishments, the struggle for a cleaner environment as well as for rational organization of space is not settled. It is clear to us that environmentalists, planners, policy makers, engineers and economists have to work together in order to ensure that environmental protection, spatial co-ordination and economic development could all be achieved without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own requirements.

In recent years, an increase in spatial and environmental problems in many countries has led to a crisis in environmental planning and management. The increasing urbanization of the world coupled with the issues of environmental pollution, resources shortage and economic restructuring demand that a lot of effort should be required in order to make our cities sustainable. Moreover, problems of sustainable planning and management are not restricted in urban areas, since rural areas face serious environmental challenges.

The aim of the “Sustainable Development and Planning” is to inform its readers quickly on all aspects of environmental planning and management. The Journal includes subjects ranging from social to technical environmental management issues, having always as an axis the concept of sustainable planning and development.
The International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning is a refereed journal. In order to be acceptable for publication submissions must make a new contribution.
