  This unique book focuses on rural and land use planning in developing countries. It explores the conventional, mainly top-down, approaches of the past, showing why they have largely failed; and describes the opportunities offered by more recent, participatory approaches, examining the key role of natural resource information in planning. There are numerous examples and up-to-date references.
