Focusing on the provision of new housing in suburban and rural areas of southern England, this volume explores how the state seeks to adjudicate conflicts around development and conservation. The authors observe the replacement of "developmental" by "sustainable development" rationalities.

Using an innovative theoretical approach based on 'networks of conventions', the book investigates the 'regionalisation' of the English countryside through case studies of the 'preserved', the 'contested' and the 'paternalistic' countryside.

The first of a five-volume series, "Restructuring Rural Areas", from the London Countryside Research Centre, this book aims to put the rural domain firmly on the agenda of social science enquiry.

The second volume in the "Restructuring Rural Areas" series, this book focuses on the changing countryside in an urban context.
