Abstract
Urban land management is a complex task practised across a range of scales, involving a range of actors. Rather uniquely, in New Zealand, land use planning is largely undertaken in accordance with the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) which has the purpose of promoting the sustainable management of natural and physical resources. The Act makes no meaningful distinction between urban and rural areas as its focus is on the sustainability of the biophysical resource base and leaves land-use largely to market mechanisms.
