Description: "The lower Fraser basin region of British Columbia is being rapidly transformed from one of predominantly agricultural landscapes to one that is mostly urban. The population, economy and society of the region are all changing in ways that degrade the resource base, destroy environmental amenities and foster social unrest.

In Seeking Sustainability in the Lower Fraser Basin, 33 authors from the natural, social and medical sciences analyze the prospects for sustainable development in the lower Fraser basin."--BOOK JACKET.
