LUMASEC (Land Use Management for Sustainable European Cities) is a European project, which aims to identify the scope of strategic and operational action for European cities in land use planning.

This Handbook presents the results of a 2-years work between September 2008 and May 2010 on strategic land use management, focussing on urban sprawl and urban brownfields, as one of the most important topics to address, to ensure competitiveness, attractiveness and sustainability of our European city-regions.

It focuses on both the strategic level (planning methods, observation tools) and the operational level (action plans, case-studies), and aims at producing methods and practical recommendations.
