About the author
Rachelle Alterman is Professor (emerita) of urban planning and law at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology and Senior Researcher at the Neaman Institute for National Policy Research. She heads the Laboratory on Comparative Planning Law and Property Rights (PLPR). Alterman is the founding president of the International Academic Association on Planning, Law and Property Rights. Her research interests include comparative planning law and land use regulation, comparative land policy and property rights, housing policy, and implementation of public policy. She is highly published and cited. For her pioneering contribution to the field, she was awarded Honorary Member status by the Association of European Schools of Planning (among only six awarded this distinction, and the only non-European), and has been selected as one of 16 global "leaders in planning thought" whose academic autobiographies have recently been published in the book Encounters in Planning Thought (Routledge, 2017).
Cygal Pellach holds a Bachelor of Planning from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, and a MSc in Urban and Regional Planning from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. She is currently completing a doctoral degree, also at the Technion, under Rachelle Alterman’s supervision. Between her MSc and her PhD studies, Cygal served as the team leader in the EU-funded research project, Mare Nostrum, headed by Alterman. Prior to embarking on an academic path, Cygal garnered five years’ experience in urban planning practice, working in private consultancy in Melbourne (VIC), Australia.
Summary
Regulating Coastal Zones addresses the knowledge gap concerning the legal and regulatory challenges of managing land in coastal zones across a broad range of political and socio-economic contexts.
Additional text
"Alterman and Pellach have created an important book that provides up-to-date knowledge of current practices infused with a comparative analysis of coastal regulation across the globe. Considering the shortcomings related to implementation of the normative aspects of the well-known ICZM, this edited book fills a significant gap and makes an essential investigative contribution.The editors provide much needed information about regulatory practices, complementing research on the normative aspects of ICZM. This updates earlier seminal works, provides a fresh (and somewhat unconventional) look and thus adds significantly to current scholarship in the field. I fully endorse this book as indispensable for myriad scholars and practitioners."-- Michelle Portman PhD, Author of Environmental Planning for Oceans and Coasts: Methods, Tools, Technologies. Associate Professor, Technion – Israel Institute of TechnologyVice Dean for Students Affairs, Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning
"Coastal systems and cultures are necessarily unique, but many of the conflicts over how to live within and use them are universal, and the need for effective ways to reconcile those conflicts is increasingly pressing. This collection and synthesis of cross-national scholarly reflections contributes greatly to our understanding of what is unique and what is universal across both settings and cultures. It provides insights that are grounded in the real-world challenges of both crafting and implementing effective solutions, and that are uniquely valuable in their comparative perspective."-- Richard K. Norton, Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Michigan
