dc.description.abstractThe pejorative ‘Not In My Backyard’ (NIMBY) acronym, putatively coined in the 1950s, is commonly used in today’s narrative to refer to skin-deep environmentalism whose sole aim is to spare one’s immediate environs from undesirable development. The acronym is normally adopted by critics of individuals who are very selective when voicing their opposition to development, generally kicking up a storm when the development is within their milieu but caring diddly-squat when the same development is proposed little more than a stone’s throw away from their area of concern.en_GB
