Around the introduction of Agenda 21 at Rio in 1991, some countries like the Netherlands and New Zealand were already leading the way with quite innovative approaches to environmental planning. Focusing on the New Zealand government's innovations in sustainable and environmental planning, particularly the Resource Management Act of 1991, this book highlights planning and governance under devolved and co-operative mandates. It uses multiple methods to evaluate the quality of policy statements and district plans prepared by regional and local councils respectively, as well as the various inter- and intra-organizational and institutional factors affecting them. It also analyses the quality of the plans' implementation through the consensus or permits process, and the quality of the environmental outcomes.

"In this major review of New Zealand's reform of environmental administration and planning, Ali Menon traces the difficult development of legislation to cater for all interests: agricultural and conservationist, social and business, Maori and Pakeha. The reforms which resulted, especially those by the fourth Labour government after 1984, represent a rare and significant national experiment in turning sustainable management into law. His study will be invaluable to university teachers and students in geography, planning, law and environmental science, and to all those concerned with planning in government and non-government agencies"--Back cover.
