This book is concerned with policy integration from a sustainable development point of view and the focus is the integration of three specific areas of policy: land use planning, transport and environment policy. The book explores the necessary conditions for policy integration to occur, the importance of policy integration in practice, the experiences of policy-makers with policy integration and the mechanisms or tools that may help to promote more integrated policy.

Attention is particularly directed at the urban-region level drawing on three case studies from Denmark, England and Germany. The book aims to provide the reader with a general understanding of the issue of policy integration as well as a detailed understanding of the issue of policy integration in Denmark, England and Germany. It is one of the few available texts concerning policy integration, certainly in relation to the integration of land use planning, transport and environment policy. It provides a source of information for anyone involved in inter-sectoral policy-making or anyone studying or teaching courses such as urban and regional planning, transport studies, environmental science and public policy.
