Book Description
Annotation * Examines the social, political and environmental issues at stake and the acute conflicts over the siting of industrial facilities and infrastructure * Essential reading for all involved in land use planning and facility siting at all levels and in all situations * New in the Risk, Society and Policy Series From dams to landfill sites and power plants to radioactive waste repositories, the siting of facilities is a veritable minefield of conflicting data, politics, perception and controversy for industry, planners and authorities and citizens. This penetrating new edited collection examines risk, power and identity in contests over the siting of infrastructure and industrial facilities. Going beyond nimby-ism, experts in a variety of fields bring a multi-perspective analysis to case studies from the UK, US and Europe and expose the political and cultural dimensions of siting conflicts. In the process they show how place attachment and notions of landscape and local identity play a prominent role in resistance to 'development'.
