β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents an overview of why, and how, local authorities in the UK are addressing the practicalities associated with the integration of their economic and environmental objectives. The discussion begins with a contextual outline that illustrates how trends in sustainable development at international, national and community levels have influenced local government to develop new approaches. The discussion then focuses on the responses to the call for integration by looking at how authorities are responding to this pressure in the central strategic areas. After drawing some conclusions as to the effectiveness of the response, the final section of the paper draws the threads together and indicates how the response might develop in future. 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.
