Abstract
To illustrate the wide spectrum of global ecological design and planning practices, seven case studies of exemplary practice are examined in this section. These practices are noteworthy applications of substantive and procedural ecological planning theories and principles that sustainably balance human use with ecological concerns in the research environment and professional practice.
