A Law Student's Guide to Sustainable Development Law
Professor John Nolon’s new book, Protecting the Environment Through Land Use Law: Standing Ground, describes in detail how a greener planet and appropriate development can be achieved through zoning and other land use laws. It explains countless practical strategies that local governments are using as they continue their historical struggle to balance land development with natural resource conservation. Professor Nolon is the founder of, and Counsel to, the Law School’s Land Use Law Center and a professor at Pace. He has taught land use planning and policy at Yale for over 12 years. Standing Ground is published by the American Planning Association and American Planning Association and Environmental Law Institute and is his latest in a series of publications that define and describe a framework for sustainable development.
