International experience of regional land use planning

Descriptions

The research should: identify and examine examples of regional level land use planning and explain the spatial scale, governance model and legislative/policy underpinning; where possible comment on the practical implementation, strengths and weaknesses of each example; identify whether the approach is dependent on key organisations, data or information; consider in particular examples that integrate rural and urban land use planning, co-ordinate regional level climate action, and enable conflict resolution; and consider the relevance and potential lessons for the establishment of regional land use partnerships and plans in Scotland.
