GEP 364 - Environmental Planning

Unit(s): 3-4

This course focuses on the relationship between land use planning and environmental and natural resources concerns, using property and landscape as our primary lenses. We will consider how ideas regarding resource management, open space, biodiversity, “sustainability”, etc., are reflected in land use planning processes and practices. The course will examine broad planning and regulatory tools, such as EISs, regional planning, and resource management planning, and more specific applications such as Habitat Conservation Plans and open space planning.
