Abstract:
|
In the case of urban centres of the developing countries, corrective measures
for the environmental consequences of spontaneous or wrongly planned
developments are often prohibitively costly. Hence environmentally planned
development alone appears to be the solution for which, a compre-hensive
assessment of all the resources is an essential pre—requisite. An under-standing
of the prevailing environmental conditions is essential for the effective
management and execution of programmes for sustainable development.
The present work is a modest attempt at assessing the environmental
resources of Cochin, the industrial and business capital of Kerala and a fast
developing metropolis. |
