29 The likes of the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statementand the Australian ‘Coastal
Zone Management’ passage in the (1992) National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable
Development.
30 Guidelines for the Australian context have been fashioned within the ‘Forest Resource
Use’ section of the 1992 National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development.
31 In the distant past serious damage to the open landscape arose from the clearing
of natural flora. In the more recent past damage arose from acid rain, sulphur
dioxide in solution – now happily well on the way to mitigation in most OECD
economies.
32 PDR (Purchasable Development Rights) can provide once only capital in the style of
compensation for eithernot using a property for cropping or pastoralism of specified
kindsorfor managing a property in accordance with Landcare principles.
33 The purchase of development rights may be difficult to attain in situations where the
rate of land loss to degradation (soil exhaustion, toxicity, salination) exceeds the rate
of counter-preservation.
34 There will always be a case for the siting of urban-user recreational facilities, the most
misfitting urban import to rural landscapes being quasi-rural residential construction.
35 Courierdossiers on ‘Tourism’: various dates.
36 Language, song and rhythm, food and drink, sports, religion, along with clothing and

‘ignorant’ worker or an ‘errant’ consumer.Chapter 5 Urban Growth Management
1FromThe Richness of Cities: Urban Policy in a New Landscapeby Ken Worpole and
Liz Greenhalgh, 1999. Also in my notes is this admirable phrasing ‘[Cities] are daz-
zling reflections of culture and in turn shape that culture, simultaneously evoking deep
contempt and glowing admiration’ which I have not, regretfully, been able to source.
2 Quoted from Lewis Mumford in Kenneth Jackson’s Crabgrass Frontier,1985.
3 Edge City has been investigated by Joel Garreau in a lively text Edge City: Life on the
New Frontier1992. For an earlier account of ex-urbanization see Arthur Nelson and
Kenneth Dueken’s ‘The Ex-urbanisation of America’ 1990.
4 Large indoor places and outdoor spaces policed by security people are now also under
the surveillance of video cameras, the new form of controlling authority inducing a
conformist behaviour pattern.
5 This explanation is probably an oversimplification, not least because efficient water-
borne sewage disposal systems were being installed at a time when automobiles were
still operating inefficiently.
6 What strikes the New World visitor to prototypical Letchworth (North of London) is
that part of the town given over to a pre-World War I ‘bungalow’ competition, laid
out on ‘plots’ which combine all the house-building variations of materials, layout,
coloration and texture familiar to the urban populations of the Anglo-settler New
World.
