By Thomas B Fischer, 2001, pp 272, p/b, ISBN: 1-8538381-2-8 Assessing the full scale of environmental impacts is essential for the effective planning of transport, land use and projects, and yet though strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is widespread, it is far from methodical.

This book provides a thorough assessment of the effectiveness of SEA through a comparative analysis of current practice.

The author demonstrates the advantages of adopting a systematic application of a comprehensive form of SEA derived from all of the current approaches.
