Planners and lawyers engaged in the formulation and implementation of plans affecting the environment should have a working knowledge of the legal principles affecting those plans. They should also be familiar with the principles of environmental law. However, environmental law has not been a traditional part of the curriculum of law schools. Many practicing lawyers have never taken a course in environmental law; nor have many of the judges charged with deciding cases whose outcome may have consequences for the environment. In the interest of counteracting this lack of knowledge, Legal Foundations of Environmental Planning integrates excerpts from more than seventy-five court case rulings to illustrate the system of environmental laws and the problems of enforcement. Dedicated specifically to discussions on legal theories and procedures, air pollution, water pollution, and control of population growth and distribution, this sourcebook also includes an extensive glossary of environmental terms. It is a valuable aid for students, legal specialists, public officials, environmental professionals, and urban planners.

The field of study known as "environmental science" examines the interplay between living things and their physical surroundings. Engineering, information studies, and the study of environmental challenges are just a few of the many topics it explores. In environmental science, often known as ecology, researchers draw from a variety of disciplines in an effort to get a more holistic understanding of the world around us. The field of the environmental science examines the complex relationships between the environment's chemical, physical, and biological elements. Scientists that study the environment work to ensure that our planet has a long and healthy future by investigating urgent challenges like climate change and the global warming in an effort to find solutions. Moreover, they look into potential ecological issues and brainstorm solutions to prevent their realization. Both the environmental studies and the environmental engineering are subfields of environmental science. It allows researchers to examine environmental issues using a holistic and multidisciplinary framework. When it comes to protecting and preserving the environment, environmental engineer's analyses and deduce issues, determine the impact of human-made programmes, and devise plans for getting rid of pollutants in water, air, and land.
