Naturbanization

As the growth of the world’s population continues, the urbanization of natural lands is inevitable, but that development needs to be accomplished in harmony with nature. This book analyzes naturbanization as it is occurring in National Parks along the European Union borders that have been opened to development. Consequently, these areas are serving as models for creating processes that will satisfy both developers and environmentalists. It discusses the search and selection of new residential spaces, economic planning and policy in such areas, environmentally sensitive construction, and public investment in infrastructure to make the areas more accessible and habitable.
