Abstract

Presents the result of a project which takes a broad look at: the most important challenges and opportunities for land use in the UK over the next 50 years - particularly those that merit decisive action; and what can be done to use and manage land more sustainably and to unlock greater value for people and the economy – now and in the future. The project also sought to identify where incremental change would be desirable, and where a more strategic shift is needed.
