      abstract = {Spatial planning defines how men use one of the most  important and scarce resources on Earth: land. Planners  therefore play a key role in countering or deepening the  current ecological crisis. To foster ecological  transitions, planning scholars and practitioners need to be  equipped with sound theories and practical tools. To this  end, this book advocates a re-foundation of spatial  planning under the paradigm of "ecological rationality",  based on the revaluation of early pioneers of ecological  planning and mutual fertilization with different  disciplines, including decision-making science, ecology,  (eco)system theory, land use science and political ecology.  The key principles of ecological rationality and its  application to spatial planning are discussed and this  conceptual framework is used to explain the main underlying  drivers of ecological degradation and their spatial  manifestations at the local level. Current policy  instruments in the European context, which can be used to  underpin ecological planning, such as Green Infrastructure  and the Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystem Service (MAES)  initiative, are also examined.},
